Or if your bored you could take a handy off the shelf router, you might have laying around or using one and reverse engineer the http server and make an attempt of an enterprise level network management application.
(some projects i did when i was bored as a CS Major)
I have done very little with ASP so foar. But logging seems to be a common demonstration of ASP. Since it is something that spans across the entire application, ASP is useful for it.
Its been done before but why not make a secure chat client that stores public keys on a keyserver. Similar to what pgp desktop, i beleive does, for email. Just write your own for chatting. Java makes it pretty easy but if you wanted to get more technical you could omit java's handywork and write your own implementation of a form of public encryption. (I've done RSA for this...took my scheme code and converted it to java and threw it into a chat program.)
If you have a semester to do this, i would definately go for the latter. A very nice version of this could be done in a week or two. I already had the scheme stuff done, so my version took me a weekend.
I don't know if I would suggest a cryptography project....Unless you could figure out something that will take longer than most. Normally, all you have to do is figure out the range of characters in the ascii code, and then convert with some formula. What about something educational? Or maybe your own email system? I think encryption could go along with that.
Doesn't mean you shouldn't consider them, but you might want to think outside the box.
In my experience doing something unexpected gets you browniepoints with graders.
