Ask HN - Any interesting side projects you can share?
There was one project yesterday - google map showing a random place - interesting. Any other interesting project like that? (not the usual to-do list apps, something different)

Hm, side projects, I have a few...
http://localbeer.me (find locally brewed beer)
http://la-weather.com (what's the weather like in LA - still in _very_ early development)
http://imgonly.info (just the images from the Reddit RSS feed)
http://uberqr.com (QR Code generator/link shortener, _very_ basic)
That's all I can think of right now...

localbeer.me looks awesome! ...I always try to get something local, especially when I'm in a new place.
Currently I'm working on C++ container, because I hate the standard containers.
That sounds fun - what kind of things are you going for, and what approach are you thinking of taking?
Well first I wrote stack, queue and vector templates, but realized I can as easily write all of the functions as one template. Did that. Now I can use my container anyway I want and it can be safely iterated while deleting nodes. Though only problem I tried to overload operator= when character pointer is given to check how many characters in the data is and push them to the container automatically like you can do with std::string, but for some reason it gives me some ugly memory leaks, even though pushing normally works fine.
