Now I'm learning Perl as my first programming langu...

Rails and beyond

I feel like I'm an intermediate-advanced Rails programmer. I've written some small client apps. However, I feel like I'm missing something.

Developing my own RDBMS

I've always been fascinated by how these huge RDBMS servers can work for months, shuffling data all around without losing it, perform all kinds of queries and generally being very complex beasts.
