Hey all,

The season is about to start and the amount of free time left can be counted in hours. So before we all buckle down and curse at various components (CMU cam being the bane of many teams) I would like to ask how what programming projects you have done to just improve your overall coding skills.

Perhaps mention your first 'real' application, written for a specific purpose rather than just a cookie cutter projects.

I'm asking because I've gotten bored of these projects in the text books and want to try writing a real app. Unfortunately I have no ideas so please share your experiences!
