Ahh yes, I know the feeling. My current list of projects:

- There's no speciality grade coffee in Zambia, and all the coffee beans in Zambia are from Zambian coffee farms. I've bought a small roaster and will start sourcing speciality grade coffee beans from Malawi, Kenya and Ethiopia and roasting for a few of the small stores and cafes around us.

- Converting a beat up Suzuki Samurai into a capable 4x4 rock crawler/off road vehicle to enter my own team into the Elephant Charge 2025 https://elephantcharge.org/ec-charge-2025/.

- Growing and propogating cuttings of coffee plants in my backyard to start an outgrowers scheme in on the border of Zambia & Congo.

- An emotion recognition app that has animated fruits and animals that dance and respond to emotion. I'd like to create something a bit more responsive for my child than the YT videos that exist (Unity).

- Helping my wifes company prototype and spec out some lease management software.

- Sourcing the equipment and ingredients to process my own coffee cherries into green coffee. I'll likely buy coffee from nearby growers and start processing as my own plants still have a couple years before they produce any fruit.

- Migrating a Flow project to Typescript.

- Learning Haskell by building a back-office API for another project in it.
