Meeting with the boss the other day, and the upshot is that I've got
three months to do exactly as I like. It doesn't have to be anything of

That's a fine move. And three months an amazing time frame.
Anyone any suggestions?
I would nonetheless do something of value for the company (but not
necessarily of "commercial value").
But without knowing your company it's hard to tell what exactly.
I'd inspect where there's some badly working processes that could
be enhanced by tool support. Or something to make development more
reliable. Or get and combine statistical data that makes it possible
to draw valuable conclusions for the domain you're working in, and
that can maybe also be used for (internal or external) PR activities.
Some tool or system to enhance QA. Or just a recreational tool, a
game, or some such, maybe. Or examine how to use existing free tools
to your (or your company's) benefit, and if necessary programming adapters/enhancements to be able to use them. Contributing to any
free tool that you think is worth fostering. - So far just a few
random thoughts. - Depending on your choice it might not be a rest.
