tuupola/jquery_lazyload. This might be interesting for displaying large amounts of images because it allows you to delay the loading of images until the user actually scrolls to them. The page is pre-built with placeholder images, and only the images are later sent over the line. However, I think Infinite Scroll is the better solution, as it allows not only images but also general content to be added - and it also works smoothly with Masonry so that these content blocks can also be visually well distributed.

dirq 1.1.2 documentation. Hey, I was recently looking for something like this - a queue based on the file system. The advantage: simplest persistence and good "debugging" by simply poking around in the file system. The disadvantage is that queues often need to perform some operations atomically - and this can become a bit tricky if you want to get it right. This is a port of an already existing Perl module, so the chances that most of the childhood diseases are out are quite high. The API, in any case, looks nicely simple. Definitely worth a closer look.
Hotcanvas: Realtime coding. I'm a fan of Processing-like environments, this one comes quite close, but runs as an interactive environment and looks quite nice. Ok, there are probably quite a few of these things by now, but still, I like this kind of stuff.
Bilderarchiv | rfc1437. My image archive was revised over the weekend and now comes with funny JavaScript gadgets for automatic tiling. Not really groundbreaking, but more interesting than the previous, rather boring format. jQuery Masonry is the main part of the work. Nice little JavaScript library. The most interesting part is probably the heuristic in my little plugin, with which I bring the images into portrait/landscape/square formats, so that the whole thing does not become too boring due to an excess of landscape formats. Unfortunately, there are still gaps in the image stream, where Masonry could actually become a bit smarter (and e.g. pull up small squares). Or I have to sit down again with the heuristic and make sure that the chances of gaps are reduced.
ownCloud.org | Your Cloud, Your Data, Your Way!. I will definitely keep an eye on this, because once the OSX desktop client and the iOS client are available, this will be a clear alternative to Google Drive, Dropbox, or SkyDrive for me. After all, I already have my own server (classic Ehschonda solution), and I would only use Dropbox for integrating various iOS applications and then integrate their content into my own server and bring it to my desktops. Because no matter how good a cloud provider is (and so far Dropbox is one of the clearly better ones), my own server gives me more trust in the end.
