Programming...

[owieman]

I feel like writing a programme - but - I don't know what I should base it upon. I havent written one for a while. If anyone has any suggestions or *wishes* they could do such and such on their computer, post your ideas.

P.S. Windows platform :P

Well.. lets see.
I want a series of webservices to control things at home from work.
I also want a small simple client to relay msn messages from home to work via port 80 in packets that dont look suspicious to a proxy..

Database driven personal cd database, with auto cddb.. and flagging for illegal copies...

I really cant think of much else right now.
Im going to get into webservices soon.

I wouldnt be able to make any webservices.. they take alot of effort.. one of which i dont want to do atm :P

your second idea is doable I think. Were you thinking of a client on both sides that sits ontop of messenger on both sides and encrypts MSN packets sent over the internet?

I think a cd database of your description already exists. but - if it doesnt, I could make a program which could integrate with Access (for the database retreiving/storing). And the CDDB feature would be built into the program itself. Or, I could make it to build a database purely in the program itself. though there's alot of different methods of databases. Let me know if you have one in mind :P

I wouldnt rely on makeshift databases.
Use access, mysql, maybe mssql express?

Webservices are not that much effort. They are the same as any other program. You just dont have a visual interface, its like functions over the web. Pretty damned cool methinks.

That'd be pretty freakn cool...

And would be towards some dodgy game..

Something you could do is create some sort of server side pdf creation tool..
Webservice, Aspx, or custom via tcp/ip..
Adobe costs LOTS and the tools for free Pdf creation are annoying.

If you can find something that analyses the document/image and then creates a decent pdf.. you could then produce a good product which people could actually.. *drumroll* ... USE!

Yep thats right.
