For what it's worth, my first project (5ish months ago) was an internet-utility
|
|
type thing: opening/closing connection, timing the period online, getting a
|
|
list of mail waiting for me, telling me when I've stopped getting news etc.
|
|
My second one was for work doing the same sort of thing over a telnet
|
|
connection. Then several simple text filtering/processing utilities, and
|
|
I'm now doing something that started life as an addressbook (storing in a
|
|
database) but has now got rather more ambitious.
|
|
|
|
What did everyone else do?
