If in fact you are not in burn-out mode™ (and should therefore not be doing anything) there are some things you can think about that might get you started:
- What was the last thing you did with a computer that annoyed you? Fix it!
- What was the last thing someone else did with a computer that annoyed them (or your)? Fix it!
- Are there two (or more) disparate pieces of software that do not play well together? Write glue!
- There can never be too many small languages. Write another one!
- Learn Parrot. Note: if you do this on a Win2k box, let me know, configure dies on me...
- Dust off your copy of Knuth. Pick a starred exercise and solve it in Perl.
In pseudo-code, you might think of this as:
while(problems exist) solve;
Now I suppose it is possible that you exist in a problem-free space. If that's the case then you don't need more code, you need more meditation!
