Help me pick a project

Project Descriptions

This is for IS250, networking. I need to pick a project over the next week, and I'm musing at the moment. Any suggestions about which of these look somewhat cool, or if I should branch off and do something else?

If I were you, I'd choose option 3, and write an IRC bot in one of the major scripting languages, such as Python. Have the bot interface with Web Services such as the Google and Amazon SOAP interfaces, and the Livejournal or Moveable Type XML-RPC posting APIs.

Mostly because that's what I'm doing in my spare time anyway. :)

What, no network based on break-through trans-light technology ?!

How about a network based on genetic-like evolutionary algorythems, ie ant-colony routing.

Yeah, I'm not being totally serious here.

I'd suggest either DDoS or BitTorrent. But that's just me. :)
