What is everybody working on?

Databases...games...HTML editors...spreadsheets...blah blah blah

What sort of projects are people working on?

I'm working on two projects at the moment .

1, Interface to a current billing system and reporting this in an access database.

2, Enhancement to a Crap ICL program

I'm terrible at finishing things and coincedently I was just today trying to figure out a way of managing all these unfinished projects and I'm going to build a VB Project manager! (Yet another project for the list... most of these projects are about 80% done.

Code:

---


DES Project
GIF Project
LWZ Compression Project
Project Project (merge with project below ??)
Project Management Project (see below)
OCX Project (progbar, hyperlink)
DLL Project (sort, search, encrypt etc)
VB KnowledgeBase Project
History/Diary Project
3D anim Cube Project (Back face removal)
Neural Network Project
Inno Front End (simple)

his is what I'm thinking about for the Project manager...

Project Management
    VB Addin ??
    Project list with Current status (Open, Closed)
    Creates own SubDir to hold source code (shared code depository needed too)
    Dir structure management
    Open Project
        Quick view task list
        open source
        Run Current exe
        Project description and goals
        Used Objects list (read vbp file)
    Import Project
        Point to VBP file
        Scan for dependancies, mods frms etc (read vbp file)
        popup on cls and mod files for shared
        copy files
    Backup Projects   
        Collect all of maindir and compress (zip? bar graph would be good! Encrypt)
    Links & Tools
        Inno Setup
            Create template file with copy and paste script text ready
            Include Inno Package?
        VB Knowledgebase
       
 
    DIR Management
 
        \MainDir
            Program.exe
            \ProjectsDir
                \Project1Dir
                \Project2Dir
                \Project3Dir
            \Shared
                \Cls
                \Mod

I have a bad habit of dropping a project once I've got the concept finished and working.

Work project get done, but they're not fun. These are just home projects

hi,

i am creating two programs

1) a monopoly game linked to my local town
2) a new interface as opposed to the windows one.

Merlin ?

I am currently working on a database that tracks rolls of steal for one of the local steel companies in my city, pretty boaring stuff. I think I am going to convert it to a web app when I am done, it's something that I have yet to do.

I am currently working on a package of different Casino Games.

I'm currently working on a program that merges 2 or more pdf files together. This is just the first step in the project. and right this minute I'm not enjoying it. :-(

That would be for my teacher to keep track of students grades and their overall progress + the student will have the ability to connect to my teacher's computer and with the students username and password he/she will be able to see his/her grades, comments etc. So basically it will be kind of server application for the app I've already created for students. :cool:

I will be making an install wizard soon

ok i'm the only one who has no project to make :( , any ideas for me???

At work:
Just finished a program that reports sales order bookings, and sales order changes.
Also finished another app, that graphically displays the demand for a finished product (in a factory, so the demand is mostly created by sales orders), against the coverage (can be stock, workorders in progress, or - if outsourced - purchase orders).

At home:
Playing around with the network functions in mrp.dll, netapi32.dll, and the NT security functions in advapi32.dll
One prog is to show the files in use at a specific server, with the user who has the file open. Additional functionality is to send a message to that user.
I'm adding some features now, like selecting a server (NetServerEnum) or a share (NetShareEnum) from a list.
I also would like to browse the network, and return the local path on the server of the file selected. I'm having some problems with this, so if anyone has an idea how to translate a UNC path to a servername, and the local path on that server I would be greatfull. The problem is with multiple shares in a path.
How do I detect that the second share in the following path is a share and not a folder:

\\server\share\folder\share\folder\file

Any info on WNetGetResourceInformation is welcome.

I'm working on an IIS app that will accept input from
the user and send it to a SQL7 database. I'm also working on getting SQL to store images.

I'm also toying with the idea of an ActiveX control, but I don't know yet what the pro's and cons of using an ActiveX control are yet.

For work I am developing CNC machining software to operate automated milling machines. It is VERY cool and will be on the market in about 30 days. It was work work, but it was fun.

At work:
Doing ASP programming....

-Developing front end Web Tools for Administrative Staff to have easy use of SQL database (pretty easy and boring)

-tyring to get dynamic image thumbnailing to work (roadblocks everywhere)

-using matlab web server and database toolbox to do error-reduction for data coming in on LAN (just starting)

At home:
I don't program! Only do it at work cuz I have too... ;)

Hehe, Paul, I have about 50 unfinished projects and i don't have time to work with 1 or 2 at the same time.

Currently:

RTS game
Winamp Lyrics Editor/Displayer

I'm working on two:
For fun, a game to practice with BitBlt
And for major practice, Im making an online game to practice BitBlt and Winsock at the same time.

I have the same problem Paul, if you could only see the folders and folders full of unfinished projects.

Currently I am working on a Search/Seizure Warrant Inventory that gather information and generate reports.

I am working on two projects:

1. Data Integration System
2. Sales Monitoring System

I am working on a project to :

accept user definitions for their MIS system, (like layout, logics, enabling, default, integrity check, workflow control etc)
generate VB source code and optionally automatic compile (VB5.0, VB 6.0 and ASP)
Generate documentation, such as DB layout, ER diagram, program spec, user guide, help file

it is around 90% done and undergo pilot testing.

I'm working on my first program in VB6, it's a program that will automatically pull up random questions from a text file full of multiple choice questions for the A+ quiz and test me on the material. It's going to sort the multiple choice randomly, too, so that you can't start memorizing the letters to the corresponding questions.

. . . Hey Mih_Flyer, you were wondering if anyone had any ideas for a project for you to get into? Seeing as how you're a med student, maybe coding some sort of study guide program would be worth your while.

I am working on an internet search utility, to search different search engines, a bit like webferret just not as good lol. I've completed the searching part of it, I just gotta add some options or something to it.
