Here are a couple other projects that I forgot to mention in the last post…

RTM Bot - A XMPP/Jabber bot for Remember the Milk. It will allow you to add new tasks and get notification of when your tasks are due and possibly more. Haven’t really thought out too much about the functionality yet but I think some users would find it useful. This would require me setting up a ejabberd server which would be interesting and fun side project…

MPG Website - A website which would allow tracking of multiple vehicles’ miles per gallon and other things such as the amount of money spent on gas and miles driven. You would be able to update your account via a simple mobile website while you are at the gas pump or possibly even a BlackBerry application. When visiting the main account, users would be able to see graphs and other stats about their usage and what not… User’s would also have the option to display their stats publicly to share with their friends and family. Also I could see where a good API would definitely be useful if the application really takes off. We could even integrate twitter so you could twitter your MPG information. I would mainly be developing this for my use but would definitely consider opening it up to other users once I get the basic stuff up… we will see..

I am sure I will never run out of projects to work on… Some of these could probably be done in a weekend some a little bit longer… But the main purpose of these projects is to learn new technologies and put those into use to see how they work and how they could be leveraged in other projects…

Anyways, I need to go clean the kitchen…

J!
