I know!

I was the same, no real "problems" to solve, and the few ideas I did have amounted to fairly straight-forward CRUD-style solutions. I started implementing one of them, and then started reading an Algorithms book.

From there, a few very old ideas coalesced in my brain, and exploded. Now, I'm not solving a MY problem, so much as solving a challenging problem that I think will hold my attention for awhile. I'm hoping to have something to push out to github in the next few weeks.

Morale of the story: search for problems to solve, and you'll solve the problem of not having a problem to solve. :)
