Actually, what you are referring to is called a "roped solo."
In reply to: In the hierarchy of insanity, roped soloing is crazy . . .
No, it isn't. In terms of risk, it's basically like ordinary leading, except that in order to compensate for the extra effort involved in self-belaying you have to reduce the difficulty level of your climbs substantially—which makes it kind of pointless, IMHO.
