Living the Slackware 13.37.life, and LOVING IT!
I gotta agree with Ian's comment, one of the best ways of writing a utility is to pick up something someone else couldn't finished and rewrite it (or write it from scratch in a different language) but still to take all of their ideas and advancements. And of course say "Based on work by SoAndSo."Posted 09-11-2011 at 01:38 PM by cellarweasel

Souds like you're having way too much fun! Kudos!
The Linux Jargon is a little above my level, but I sure hope to re-read your entries when I catch-up.Posted 09-11-2011 at 08:07 AM by m3rl1n

I've never encountered the tar.tar problem but you should eventually submit a slackbuild just to see how that process works.
As for a utility that you could write, try finding an existing project whose development may have stalled, learning the code base and reviving it. There's no need to reinvent the wheel on some projects if you know what I mean.Posted 09-10-2011 at 07:45 AM by Ian John Locke II
