Lots of projects in the works.

Uptime Monitoring Website - This originally started out as something fun to do for myself, then the idea grew and now I've got a nice domain and working on a client area to make a public website/server monitoring site similar to BinaryCanary.com except less restrictions for free accounts. I picked up a small VPS a while back and while the VPS has been doing a great job for testing the uptime and performance are not reliable so I picked up another cheap VPS from a different host (same data center though, oh well). I also have 2 other servers setup along with a 5th lined up for purchase once I get some answers from the hosting company. So that will provide me with 2 OpenVZ VPSs in Texas, 1 Xen VM in Illinois, 1 Xen VM in Los Angeles, and 1 Dedicated Server in Florida. I've got the shell scripts for the server setup and running nicely and the MySQL server is working perfectly, I just need to finish the PHP backend and get some redundancy setup for the MySQL and web server and we'll be all set!
Free Web Hosting Network - I got the idea last week and I posted the idea on FreeWHT with a little interest. I got the domain setup and am working on site now, mostly I'm waiting for the site design to get done before releasing it publicly. Right now I have a lot of planning done but want to find some core people to help work out the specifics and help get the ball rolling.
Hosting - Been putting a lot of thought into getting back in the game, spent the past few days debating between Free or Paid Shared/Reseller Hosting or Low-end VPS hosting. I've been working on my cPanel Hosting MyBB plugin in some of my free time so it would be nice to put it to use.
Backup Dragon - Been doing a lot of planning and research for this and ran some ideas by Jeremy already, we've got a new gameplan and I'm excited. Jeremy has been doing some testing in his virtual lab and it looks promising. We have a meeting Wednesday so hopefully all will work out and we can get to the implimentation. Until then I've been tweaking the site and operations a bit.
Escape Reality - I've been wanting to find something to do that is relaxing and pointless. I've considered getting back into gaming but that can get expensive. Right now I've got 2 ideas standing out more than the others. One is a browser based game that I've been tossing around in my head for a while, I've got the domain and the code planned out but I just need to impliment it and in reality this would be more fun if I had other people involved so I wouldn't just be playing my own game. The second is a website that I really don't know if I should discuss or not. Let's just say it's inspired by this and this. Just not sure. :(
I've got some other things on my mind but I think these are the closest to becoming real.
