Creative Blowout

hey guys,

i was looking for ideas that could spark some creativity from me. HTML is something which i know, but often have to keep re-learning years later when its needed again. the problem i find is that i dont have any ideas to use my abilities. i dont know what to create, so i dont do anything and eventually forget certain elements. i dont have a use for a webpage so i dont create one.

i just want some ideas or even participation into something i can help with. even if its for nothing. it doesnt matter. i just need to create something to keep me from boredom... i just need something to practice on.

Create an online CV, blog, photo gallery its a great way to practice what your learning.

CTO- I know what you mean.

I have taken several programming classes and I never know what to make. Anything that I've ever needed has already existed... Therefore... when I do have to program something... I have to whip out the books because I forgot a lot of what I had learned... I can read the code and figure out what is going on, but when I have to write it... I draw a blank. I guess its because I never have to program anything...

I started to learn perl where I can apply some of those scripts to my everday job.

I still have a ways to go... but I can think of tons of projects for that...

If you have no use for a webpage... (either do I) then learn something new that you will have a use for. Just because you've learned html doesn't mean you have to use it. Its nice to learn things even if you only use it once in a while (looking at the source of a webpage, etc).

im glad to see im not the only person with that kind of problem.
that online CV is a good idea, i already have one but i will do that....

my next venture was into python, then possibly c/c++ afterwards. dont know where im going from there.

Thanks guys

Learn Python VERY deeply... If you get a very good handle on it C will come easy... Learn to program very well in python then all you will have to do in C is learn some new syntax and add some more system calls and the memory allocation and all that stuff.
