I was in the same boat and ended up just looking around on sourceforge.net for a project that was interesting. Sort by your language, C++, and pick something in pre-alpha (code is usually smaller). From there, find the "int main" and start following the code, line by line; if you get lost, google it or e-mail the maintainers. Download a copy of the source and start tinkering, break it, and repeat.
I'm one of the 47 down here for the 2010 Winter season, the crew is missing the Dome. It was an icon in Antarctica, and this place feels like it's missing something without it. Someone pointed earlier to Spindler's website http://www.southpolesation.com/ where there is much more on the deconstruction from the unofficial South Pole historian.

It seems like it would need some GPS integration or else all that running in place would calculate extra nanoseconds you don't deserve.
