No, but i've already done a pretty huge percentage of what's been suggested to me by most other people. That list that RDCA given me, I checked through the list, and about 80-90% of all the projects on that page with the exception of the games, has already been done in some way by me. Based on that link to, I would neglect some projects as even though I haven't done them I know how to do them, and knowing that, I could imagine they would only take me 2 minutes to make. Like the PI calculator to a certain decimal value.

I don't know anything about you because I haven't been active whatsoever on these forums, but perhaps you should delve into some form of game development. Maybe have a look at the UDK, it should grab your interest for a while and would be suitable considering you apparent C++ background, it's an incredibly intuitive development kit if you get into it. Other than than I don't know what to suggest, I'm more of a web developer myself.
Game development is something that would be cool, but never really interested me. I find myself swaying away from it because if i'm not devoted to it, I probably won't get very far. I've tried a few API's and currently trying to learn about Direct2D. I know there's OpenGL, but if you're a big game programmer, you'll probably not end up using OpenGL anyway, as it's not used for the bigger games.
Finding a NEW project, is always my biggest struggle, and even more so than actually developing the program.
