I am currently trying to teach myself the C++ programming language
and am in need of a "project" to work on - one that will be interesting
and useful, rather than the usual boring stuff (in other words, my mind
has drawn a blank). I was wondering if any of you had any ideas of a
utility or other handy little program that you always wished you could
have on your PC (or whatever), possibly of the Personal Information
Manager or Handle-those-Dumb-little-Calculations-I-Keep-Having-to-do or
possibly even something to handle some experimental data.
If you do, I would greatly appreciate an idea to work on while I
learn. Please describe the nature of the "problem" and any relevant
input/output needs, and maybe in a few months I'll actually be able to do
something useful. If you need something of a VERY technical nature
(something in math/science/whatever) that I have no experience in yet I
will also need help with relevant equations, concepts, or whatever.
Thank you.

P.S. This is a (somewhat) serious request from a programming novice, so
please do not ask me to write a program that solves the three-body problem
or does anything else extremely hard, or does anything impossible.
