I opened up NetBeans last night, stared at it blankly for about an hour and then closed it. I couldn't think of anything that I wanted to do. The recent projects were just an accusing glut of failure. I need a new project to mess up.

When I got up this morning I began to think about something—something stupid. As the day wore on it began to look sensible. Naw, sensible isn't the right word, still stupid, but something that I might have fun doing. So here's what I plan to create...

1. A light weight JavaScript library [yeh, that's what the world needs, another bloody JavaScript library!]
2. A JavaScript test suite [rather like JUnit]
3. A Java documentation creator [rather like JavaDoc]
4. A Java compiler for JavaScript
5. A Java IDE for JavaScript
6. A web site to peddle the above

Madness of course, but fun madness. It won't happen, but sometimes stupid is good for the soul.

I have four months before my next course, it's time I went back to where I started to see where I am.
