So I have this laptop...what can I do with it? A couple of arguably interesting programming projects come to mind (beyond nuclearpolymer's)...

More TIGER stuff. In particular, I'd like to build a useful database out of the data files, instead of just slurping them into a similarly-structured database. Right now things like route-finding are a little tricky. But then...what?
Write a game. I have this vague concept. It should involve spaceships. And planets. And be kinda like Master of Orion, but without predefined interplanetary routes, and with some sort of trade or supply chain system. Feels like a daunting project, though, and neither UI nor AI is one of my strong points.
XSL:FO engine. There are already two free ones, but they both kind of suck in various ways. Insanely geeky, though.

Potential projects
