I may have been a little mean in my other comment - but you're on the right track to having a real startup. I've had probably 5 serious projects that eventually got abandoned because a) no business model, b) no users, and c) stupid idea. But the knowledge I gained by creating these projects? Priceless.

It's better to fail & learn on crappy projects so when you find a great idea you can just knock it out of the park.

A parallels installation (win XP) dedicated to only IE6&7, opera, windows safari, and FF2&3. Opera, safari, FF2&3 in OS X.

I just do it all manually - FF2&3 and safari usually have very little differences (if any), but opera and obviously IE sometimes have strange quirks.

Chamillionaire was cool, Julia Allison turned out to actually be pretty nice also. It was nice to meet the founders of tipjoy.com. Talking to various Facebook employees, including the creator of FireBug was interesting.

Wish I could have hit up the after party, next time I guess.
