"Bored" is a sign of an inactive imagination. Have you looked at the things in the "Finished Projects" forum? That could serve as inspiration, or you could just rewrite them in another language, improving or adding functionality or bells and whistles. Is there nothing you can think of that you would find useful? Here are a couple of examples: a friend of mine broke the button on her CD drive. I wrote a dialog-based app to replace it. Currently (as a learning exercise) I am writing a python app to automatically generate my Contributor's Corner articles from a straight text file produced by the author and containing pseudo-tags for organization, overall style, internal style, and menu generation. I recently wrote a program to scan an AutoCad file and scrape off a bill-of-materials. Stuff like that.
