Programming Excercises or Ideas?
I vaguely remember this being discussed here before (and also on Digg), but I can't seem to find the right search terms to find it on the forums or with the Googles. I'm basically looking for programming excercise ideas in order to help learn various aspects of a language. I found and have been going through Project Euler, which is very cool, but has a big focus on mathematical algorithms. Is there anything else out there like it for more general programming tasks?

Yeah, you can exercise by looking at rtorrent's code and figuring out what to do to make XFS full file allocation work properly ;-)

It's kind of ruby-centric, but Ruby Quiz has a good selection of "fun" programming tasks. If you want something meatier, the ICFP yearly programming contest often has interesting problems.

If you're interested in python at all, the python challenge (http://www.pythonchallenge.com/) is a pretty cool way to learn stuff. It's name isn't lying when it says it's a challenge though, so it's more of a trial by fire way of learning stuff, but I think it's pretty fun.

Re: Programming Excercises or Ideas?
I know over at JustLinux.com there's a Programming Challenges thread, found here: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110160
I've been looking for the same kind of thing recently, I did find a pretty good site for programming exercises, but for the life of me I can't remember the URL or what I searched on Google. I'll repost later once I've found it.
[EDIT]
I found some of the stuff here to be pretty good: http://acm.uva.es/problemset/ (At the bottom of the page)
