Hmmmm....
well my #1 thing on linux is quite abit off from the "programmers" and 
"professionals" territory. Its a strategy game called Dominions. But to 
show it purely as a game Id have to use a windows or mac since I tend to 
use the linux version to have fun with scripting the command-line switches 
to host games and interface with webpages.

I can give a few quick sloppy examples if no one will laugh.

and a project from the previous version which I plan to upgrade soon which 
makes extensive use it ImageMagick
http://www.dom2minions.com/~dominion/Dominions2/RandomMaps/RandomMaps.html

A 50 year old addicted to games might not be interesting to the workaholic 
crowd but expanding into other linux uses would have to recognize that its 
a popular topic which might get the interest of new members. Id also be 
interested in hearing other peoples addictions in the area of games.

I also run a MUD.

Speaking of ImageMagick, that would also be a good topic. I have a 
do-from-home business concept which I feel would be fun for any creative 
entrepreneur that can grasp the programming intricacies of IM.
