Half of computer science is writing programs. Half of it is also solving problems "outside of the box". I don't know what you do for a career, but if you could solve any problem in anyplace you've worked, that can be done with a compy, what would it be?
With perlmonks, I couldn't find a CB client that suited me. An application that sits on my desktop, easily installable, and does things the way I liked.
At work, it was the prior person's mess I decided to one day clean up.
So, what would YOU want to fix?
