Have any of you ever experienced this dilemma? Let's say you wanted to whip up a quick program that would take a few hours of your time, just for fun, but you don't know what you want your program to do. The scope of a project is either too large, or the difficulty is too easy, or too complex, so you're stuck trying to learn more.

Any ideas on where to get.. ideas when you're stuck in one of those 'quickie' moods?
Command line utilities seem like the way to go, but everything you need has already been written (or so it seems with the Internet).

So you can use this thread to discuss said topic, or to post ideas and stuff.
