Fun with subversion logs

So I've been fighting with the same piece of code for an hour and need some new perspective. What does any good tech do when they need a quick break? They grep through the logs of their versioning system to find a few funny entries. Here are a few actual entries in our repository. (Names removed to protect the snarky.)

  • the default for implode() isn't a comma? bah!
  • I will cry if this isn't specific enough for IE
  • gah I loathe IE with every fiber of my being
  • Trying to get an intelligent database failure
  • if this actually works I will probably poop my pants.
  • lets try that again, but this time, make it not terrible.
  • Ain't no mountain hiiiigh enough... ain't no mountain loooow enough... to keep me from getting IE styles fixed
  • ACK WTF OMG NEED AUTO_DETECT_LINE_ENDINGS PWND N00B r0X0rZZZZZZZ
  • Bad hovers! Bad! Displaying html without encoding it...
  • can't figure out why this rewrite isn't working.
  • now I know why. Because I don't know how to clear my browsers cache.
  • attempt number two. Now featuring not an infinite loop
  • accounting for the fscking vatican. jesus.

It should be noted

It should be noted (MICROSOFT: ARE YOU LISTENING???!?!?!) that almost half of those are IE-related, or can be presumed to be IE-related.

Bill Gates would do well to

Bill Gates would do well to stay away from me. I've got more than a few syllables for that punk, given the amount of time I've spent trying to work around his crap software.

This makes me wonder what's in the Drupal CVS logs - knowing those guys, there have got to be some doozies.
