I've done quite a few programming projects in the past.  Here are a few of the 
larger ones, in no particular order.

Created UPS shutdown software for NetBSD Unix.  Wrote it in C based on some 
sample code and the NetBSD manpages.  Dug though the kernel sourcecode to 
determine how to do a safe shutdown of the system when the power failed and 
still signal the UPS to shut off the power.

Created an IRC robot, initally in Rexx and eventally in Perl.  tcp client 
software that talks the IRC protocol as defined in RFC????.  Interfaces with 
many external utilities to provide useful tools to IRC users.

Created a web-based contact database system for work using Perl, Apache, and 
MySQL.  The contact database can be completely maintained though a web browser 
-- adding and deleting people and companines, maintaining associations between 
people and companines, importing and exporting data, managing categories of 
people and companies, etc.

Created a web-based project management system.  Simple software to assign job 
numbers, show project status, store project metadata, and interface with the 
above contact database to provide information about the pople involved with 
the project.

Created a toy library management system in C as a CS201 group project, using 
curses for user interface and ADT-based architecture.

Created a toy PIM in C++ for CS307 group project, again using curses for user 
interface and using gdbm for data storage.

Hmm.

Currently working with a group of people in CS470 to modify the functionality 
of the Save option in the Mozilla web browser to also save images present on 
the web page being saved.

That covers most of the major projects I've done.  I've dabbled in some stuff 
with Java, but haven't done anything serious.  I've done many many other small 
web projects using Perl and C.

Want more detail on any of these?  If you do, let me know.

Dan.
