haha, you read my mind, I did come across the thread to read it. I think I have a good idea for a new project, something useful. But it would involve more hashes. A duplicate file finder. I already coded it in perl so I don't have a use for a program that does it, but i'll try to think of something more unique.
The duplicate file finder would be useful for any music libraries, where the filenames of different songs you have may allow for duplicate mp3's or wav's you have on your computer. Same thing with picture files, or video files if you have lots of them.
But i'm thinking I would like to try something different than that this time... I'll keep thinking of something to program in vb, and see what comes up.
Those posts by the way (@iCrack) were originally based off of another thread like this, where we came up with a coding challenge concept. Turned out we were the only ones anyway that started coding them, but I didn't mind doing a few of the projects, quite fun to see the different ways and styles other members use to accomplish each project.
I'm thinking... Another idea I had was a collaborated project. Something that we could all contribute towards for a final program/application. Then we could make an official release for it on SF. We would just need to have a good idea of something that other people on the forum could find useful, so that they will download and use it. We could probably convince Omni to make a board announcement for it, if we did a good enough job on it too. It wouldn't take too much of his time to do that, and he has nothing to lose really, as long as we work towards a decent finished project.
