Coders' Gigantic Brick Wall

I have extreme coders' block....
I recently got back from a backpacking trip, and have not done any coding for 1 1/2 weeks. The last thing I did was a Whist game. I can't think of anything to code!

Any suggestions (for my OS, or anything...)?

I know what you mean. I haven't coded anything in a month or so.

I did, however, paint a fabulous tea cup still life tonight, if that counts for anything. 8)

As for ideas...You could write a rogue-like in some fun scripting language. (Python comes to mind.) Everyone loves nethack, no?

Finish off the EDI specification (finally...), implement a runtime, and then write a whole heap of drivers licensed under the BSD license?

:D

I wrote a simple music organizer that uses curses (has playlists, little cool things.)
EDIT: I wanted one with only the features that I wanted, no fancy graphical stuff, just a simple thing.

One of the first fully-complete GUI programs I wrote was a music player which ran in full screen and let people browse through songs and then add them to a playlist. Then you're computer acted like a jukebox for parties :)

If I had to write it again I'd get some artists at my college to make some artwork for it, do some 3D visual effects, and have it blend between songs as it gets near the end.
