Challenge: How to make daily life better with programming?
Programming affects every aspect of our day to day lives, from the internet, to our cellphones, to check out counters, and even our clothes were probably designed by people using at the very least some type of computer. Since we know that computers, electronics, and most importantly programming has been implemented into our day to day lives the question must be asked:
Is there anything that can be written to further our use of programs in our day to day lives? This is my challenge, one week... and one submition from all participants. The program i want you to write is any program that can make our daily lives easier, this is supposed to be a very open ended challenge so please don't ask me what kind of program i'm asking you to write. It can be any type of program. Programs will be judged by me personally, and one other person selected by the participants from the community. The deadline for this competition is Monday, June 13th at 12:00 AM that morning. Happy coding :-) ( For further clarification there is no restriction on the language, or platform. Only that the code that you use has to be completely yours, or part of a standard compiler. You must submit a working copy, and it's source code. I can execute any type of web program made, and i can execute any program made for Linux under KDE or Windows. Enjoy. )

Nothing can further my use of software in my day-to-day life, except perhaps something that makes sleep unnecessary.

I'm not looking for further the use of existing software in our day to day lives, more so anything not computer oriented (or not computer oriented enough) that could be made easier with the use of a program written by somebody in our community.

I could write me a program to remind me to go to the bog... might freshen up the air in my room a little.

Tempest,
This seems to be a much better challenge and perhaps more people will try this one. Several were asking for the challenges so I'm sure with a week available they will be more willing to make an attempt. I think you may have meant for the contest to end on June 13th? Otherwise we only had 33 minutes to complete this task... Where should the programs be submitted?

This one is better than mine, for sure.
But please remember that I thought of mine in <30 seconds. |
