Fixing the map https://www.openstreetmap.org/fixthemap That's not coding but looking at data issues. There's many data validation tools https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Quality_assurance#Error_...
Specifically I'm looking at USA postcodes that contain special character, or are too short or too long. I've done that now for 10 European countries. It's 1000s of small issues, some errors are 10 years old, a huge fun variety. For each I open the online editor, a nice satellite image is presented, and fix one issue. For example finding a restaurant's website.

Timestamping the latency between when a packet arrives and poll() returns.
I used this written by someone else at work the other week, but I wanted to do it myself to understand it better.

I've managed to break analysis paralysis and write some code for GlosSurly - a strongly opinionated take on text markup / aka Annotation.
I set out the main ideas a few days ago, and wrote up some test cases. Last night I had a vision of the test GUI I wanted to build... did the GUI, menus, etc... then started writing code to load the test cases, and parse it. Then the testing engine, and finally the actual code to be tested.
It's all a big hack right now, but I've got it up on GitHub - https://github.com/mikewarot/glossurly
Most of my tests pass... ;-)
I'm just happy to have something I can now build upon up and running.

This weekend, like any other time when it's possible, I'm continuing to work on Next Generation Shell. It is a fully-fledged programming language for the DevOps-y niche (the one which was once dominated by Perl). The language contains domain specific facilities such as convenient running of external programs and data manipulation.
