Well, I have created a variety of scripts in bash and bourne..  Some to 
download the current weather satellite images from the national archives and 
display them, to monitor my network and tell me (via audio) if a computer is 
running or not, quickie scripts to take over network services like web 
hosting on another computer if my server goes down (uses IP Aliasing *neat*), 
menu's, and the like.  It really depends upon what you're interests are.
