Perhaps an abject message on why this sort of thing was important,

The hard drive in my laptop died, taking all my data (and code) with it.

I can't help but feel that had I got into the spirit of this properly and open sourced messy code from the start I'd at least have something...

On the other hand, it's also erased a whole load of other projects that I had been working on... so with a clear new laptop, and literally no half finished projects it seems like a good time to be starting this again...
