I've heard sometimes it can help to mention that you have software projects you
work on outside of work (even for fun), as it can help to show that you're reall
y interested in software development and enjoy the work. You might also be able
to use some of your own code as an example of some code you've written if they
ask for that. I had a job interview where they asked for that once, and I did h
ave some code I could show them, which I think helped.
I think Synchronet is a great project to have, as it includes things like a netw
ork component (to be able to work with the various internet protocols), a databa
se for messages, conversion of text attributes to/from ANSI, integration of Java
Script, etc..
