    I would have really liked to be a fly on the wall when that last revision by neil was posted

    /** $Log: nofrendo.c,v $
    ** Revision 1.3 2001/04/27 14:37:11 neil
    ** wheeee
    **
    ** Revision 1.2 2001/04/27 11:10:08 neil
    ** compile
    **
    ** Revision 1.1.1.1 2001/04/27 07:03:54 neil
    ** initial
    **
    ** Revision 1.48 2000/11/27 12:47:08 matt
    ** free them strings
    **
    ** Revision 1.47 2000/11/25 20:26:05 matt
    ** removed fds "system"
    **
    ** Revision 1.46 2000/11/25 01:51:53 matt
    ** bool stinks sometimes
    **/

    As an aside I'm spelunking through this code because despite being every bit as messy and nasty as the revision history would suggest it's fast. It was written to run on an old pentium, so it does what it does with no muss, and little overhead.

      Well, the timestamps are in order, even if the version numbers are not. This showcases the problems of relying on a programmer-assigned value for versioning. (This actually looks like someone took code from an existing project and merged it into a new project while keeping the old version numbers.)

          At least neil did not say 'Wheeee' when he hopped off the landing pad.

          I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

            So no one else is going to sniff haughtily at the observation that only one of the revision notes ('removed fds "system") is even vaguely useful? The rest are either stupid, cute, or stupidly cute. I farking hate that sort of crap.

              That is what happens when the source control system requires comments but no one actually reviews code.
