Yup.  Low frequency.  My programming has slowed way down.   With the telecom 
sector in the doldrums, I'm not too busy these days.

I getting rusty on STL.  If you don't use you have to re-learn it.

How about building something so we can apply the theory?  We can make it 
inter-language so as not to force C++ on anyone.  I've had some fun 
inter-working C++ and Python at the binary level.  Here's an idea for a 
project: a trademark/servicemark generator.  It takes a product description 
and searches the web for names already in use for similar products, then it 
generates new names that avoid trademark dispute on a rank order.  The web 
search includes the USPTO and state level tradmark sites as well as the whole 
web.  It should be an international tool, of course, so G7 nation trademark 
sites would be included.
