Audio CD writer (pretty much completed).
Temperature & humidity monitoring, using my own protocols over radio links with remote sensors. Also uses my own hardware designs throughout, incorporating PIC micro-controllers (which are also running my own code).
Domestic electricity consumption monitoring (yet more hardware, PIC controllers and radio links).
Audio processing (sample/format conversion, filtering and such).
Radio timecode receiver and decoder (hardware plus software).
Various ongoing file synchronisation projects to keep things like mail stashes and bookmarks in order.
Various ongoing mail auto-responders (just for the fun of it).
Experimenting with electronic motion and position sensors.
Experimenting with GPS receiver chippery.
Umm, and probably more. This is just what's near the top of the nearest heap and activity/progress varies wildly.

Lucky bugger!! !
Well.. Im hoping to do something like that when im older.
I love programming.
Just simply love it.
I sniff a Mac Pro with 12 cores.......... Yummy

I cannot wait to see what comes of all of these projects.
I do have loads of ideas.
But I have no knowledge to put them in to action.
I do not know much about programming yet.
I have been reading a book at my own leisure (I get some days where I simply cannot concentrate.) about Objective C programming.
Once I have completed that im planning on learning Java to make some awesome database software.
Im shaking with anticipation!! !! !! !! !! !! !

Here's a screenshot of the CD writer's help screen:
writeaudiocd - option help:
-d [arg] | --device=[arg] # CD writer device name
-f [arg] | --files=[arg] # file containing list of wav files to write
-g [arg] | --gap=[arg] # pre-gap 2..20 sec (default=5, RedBook std=2)
-t | --test # dummy run - don't actually write the CD
-v | --verbose # echo TOC file to console
--scan # scan for CD writer device names
--erase # fully erase a CD-RW (default is quick-erase)
--emphasis # set the pre-emphasis flag on each track
--allowcopy # set the allow copy flag on each track
--syslog # log errors to syslog (default=off)
--facility=[arg] # set syslog facility name (default=SYSLOG)
--priority=[arg] # set syslog priority name (default=WARNING)
--no-stderr # no errors reported to StdErr
-h | --help # this screen
Option arguments: [arg] is required
Non-options are assumed to be wav files for burning to CD
and may be included with a file list if required
ie. writeaudiocd -d /dev/cdrw -f trackfiles.txt file1.wav "file 2.wav" file3.wav ...
No mess, no fuss, no bloat (it's a bit bloated though, at 102k): just a device, a keyboard, a binary and some wav files.

Really?
Its going to be a Java program that picks UP database information.
Think Java would be good for that?

It's a puzzle game. The goal is to connect starting squares of matching colour, no two lines can cross, purple squares are off-limits. It currently works pretty well, although I'm trying to recode it to be played on more interesting shapes then a cube, the next is a dodecahedron.
The second is a database system that manages my inventory of food (usage rate, expiry etc), then hooks into the FDA national nutrient database to calculate nutrient levels based on what you eat. Scores are calculated based on recommended daily intake, wither your diet is improving etc. The key here is to try and minimize data entry and have algorithms that predict and correct allot of the values over time, adapting to the habits of the user.
