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 really 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 have 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 network component (to be able to work with the various internet protocols), a database for messages, conversion of text attributes to/from ANSI, integration of JavaScript, etc..
