Do you have a dream project? It doesnt have to be plausible, meaningful, useful or whatever. Just something that you really really want or wish you can build.


What would I want to build... I want to build something thats like a chatroom or an instant messenger visually. You type in text and you receive text as a response to what you said. In my case though, I want the chatroom to have someone that you can talk to but is just a program, like a human but isnt. It can think, remember, learn, emulate a human. I want it on a webpage, not as an executable, I know that makes it harder, but it beats the other point if not... I know its silly and most likely unbuildable or atleast not by me but... still.


What about you?

My goals are to build these: blog framework, cms framework, froum framework, image hosting, file hosting, video hosting, url shortener, notepad(ish) site, calendar, search site, and a social networking site.

I have ~50+ years so I'm off to a good start. :D

Can't say I have any, ideas pop into my head that I normally abandon after any real amount of thought over it.

There are some out there that do this, I was reading something about this in a Linux Magazine. Plus if you want it within a web browser, jQuery will do all the hard ajax for you.

Hmm, for me as a start of experience, been doing lots of readings coz I want to complete my portfolio site, which would actually be a portal after a series of development, hopefully :) Though I am doing freelance work in a homebased organization doing some classic old stuff bout website(PHP).

It would be a good start for me too! still have lots of years to spend!

Knight, yeah, I agree that sometimes working on something that is very complicated pushes us to grow sorta... good luck on the social networking place. Theres soemthing about you that ive noticed

Adamdecaf, you seem to like collecting stuff. But I guess that is useful, I mean if you have those you can just deal with any project that goes your way fast and easy since youre already prepped for it.

Village Idiot, realist? I remember yuo talking about this at another thread. Somehow I want to persuade you to try something thats irrational really but its hard since I sorta think the same most often... i guess im trying to be somethng else and try to... i dont know

Jaoude, a lot of people already think its somewhat impossible coz the more logical you want it to be the more resources it requires, the slower it processes things and... jsut so much more... but as i said at the start of the thread anyway, it doesnt have to be plausible right so I guess I can still keep it as a puny dream. As for Jquery its one of the things im gonna look at, im thinking of flash and im even open to looking at asp - just coz i know nothing of it, I dont know really at this point, I jsut want to learn everything about everything then try it again after that. MAybe after... 2 years more of experience? I have a lifetime anyway.

zx3st, is it the Serenity project? Well good luck on your site. Colors look nice, just not a fan of orange though, but thats jsut me. I havent built my own site too. I spend hours and hours working on other peoples sites and i dont even have a single page done on mine how funny.... are you from the philippines?

I dont know if I said anything weird, but well...

Uff well, I have in the list: do portfolio site, learn clojure, learn lisp, design my own programming language with compiler/interpreter, learn more about networking, invent a device that involves programming, hardware knowledge, web, and networks.
