Not been my experience, but if you're sufficiently bored, why don't you

make sense - but surely there's some code around that has had the
greatest amount of suckiness removed... or at least

I read the dailyWTF for sheer entertainment value :)
I wonder why 90%+ of the examples are from Windows developers?

I'm asking for anybody's opinion of code that they think is worthwhile to
look at. It doesn't have to be universally accepted as being perfect
(though that would be really good if you know of any) just what you

It seems to me you are looking for a project to exercise and to learn
new tricks in
programming. Project that challenges you enough but not too much, for

environment that provides feedbacks - positive, neutral, or negative or
peer reviews
of your work.
Then, if I
