Here are some of the projects I'm working on and technologies I'm in the process of using, learning or wanting to learn.

Pending Projects

These are projects I haven't really started yet, except maybe for some planning & research.

Audio intrepeter - issue unix cli and window operations via voice using a headset. See gnome-voice-control project and Julius
Upgrade GTimer to use GTK+ 2.x
see GTimer Notes
~~Turn up~~ Fix Bacula to backup computers on my home network

MusicHound
Alibi
Learning Puppet (a CCCM alternative to CFEngine)
Security research - I watch reports from SANS, Secunia and SecurityFocus for vulnerabilities that affect FreeBSD ports, and submit the vuxml updates. Corresponding to this, I track the OVAL list and continue to seek ways to improve the security stance of FreeBSD. Update: Ubuntu-security has a nice project going called cve-tracker which is very similar to what I'm trying to accomplish... a CVE integration with portaudit or even base.
Starting a Free Geek Seattle franchise organization to recycle/refurbish computer gear and provide Linux training to underpriviledge youths and seniors.
svnspam
Playing with the Firefly Media Server (aka. mt-daapd) on my home network to service my Roku Soundbridge M1000.
Compiling Mediawiki Tips for those infrequent tasks.

FreeBSD CVE - retrieve/translate CVE entries for portaudit
iSCSI particularly for storage of virtual machine disks
Implement web content filtering via WPAD & dansguardian - to help keep the little ones "safe".
Investigating my personal power usage - going green to save money on electricity
Encrypting my home folder to safeguard my laptop data.
Trackers - use blackhole dns to filter sites (hosts/domains) that target your identity
