Dead projects
I had many a good ideas, and some not so good ideas. A lot of those ideas are talked about and I might even start a project for it in Komodo. Other then this most of my ideas do not take off. On my long drive out to the west cost I started thinking about them and decided to restart some. Here is a list of the ones I can remember.
Rocket Doc-it - A rdoc site with comments (http://www.rdoc.deathbyescalator.com/ it is complete but needs a good reworking)
Helping on Rannotate - Another commenting rdoc system
Prepared Statements for rails - They are good for the database
Ruby C libs for crypto - Things I did in my crypto class. I wanted to do them in C to get back in to C
Music Server - A place to view, create play list, and stream my music.
Video Server - Same thing but with my movies
Google Docs Ruby Api - Google does not seem to like Ruby so I was going to make my own lib for the google docs.
Futrama-of-the-day - A different Episode of my favorite TV show every day.
Voice mail website - I want to use the fact that my phone company emails me wav files to make a website. I would hand our How was the __BLANK__ call # and leave us a message cards or even stickers. The voice mail would then go on the site
Auto update resume - My resume should update with my svn commits.
Ruby Based IM bot - I was using a library called Rambo way back when, but now it does not work
Cap scripts - For my website
Tracking - For my website, I want to be able to recreate a users movements via logs. Not that to many people look at my site.
Rewrite code from books in ruby - Programming Challenges and a few algorithms books.
Enhancements - For my website, A preview and predone html feature would be nice.
Thats all I can remember. I am sure there is many more. Hopefully one day I will start/complete some of these.

Current projects
I am currently working on a dashboard for my life. It will include things like the weather, news, movie release dates, OneBusAway information and other fun stuff. I am building it with rails and mongomapper. I am hoping to hang a screen on my wall and have it powered by a mac mini. Step one is to get it all working.
Other projects: Revisited IMDB and updated it to run again thanks to someone who wanted to use it. The problem with scrapers is that the code needs to keep changing. I would like to build a parser for the imdb data files but until then..
Which brings me to my next project. An interface to my movie collect. I think I have finally have a handle on my movies and my system setup correctly. I am going to build a movie server (non-streaming) on top of my dvd image collection.
