Find some thing that you really need done, but you've put off because you
didn't have the programming knowledge to do.
Program parts of some thing that you are really interested in doing. For
instance, at some point, I need to find duplicate copies of hardcopy photos
that I have. I'd love to write a program that sorts, compares, and marks as
duplicates. I think I would go about doing this similar to facial
recognition or eye recognition where I would look for 30 points on each
photo and compare them instead of scanning and comparing every bit.
