OK, lots of us have noticed that computing is not all that fun anymore. Its a grind. Sure the outcome of the grind might be rewarding. But is it fun?

So my challenge to us here is: What's the most fun computer project you can think of. Or have done, for that matter!

I'd have to say either;

- turning old Mac-mini's into office MP3 servers (GNU-MP3D http://www.gnu.org/software/gnump3d/) , or old PC's running Linux/Firefly (Avahi/mt-daapd) doing same for some righteous/calming tuneage while working..

or;

- integrating various alarm system and camera hardware with a PC and some simple Python (serial) code...i.e. homebrew alarm system.
