Pezad and Bloated

I am checkin' out the code
that somebody gave me on
my project's svn head
I am reviewin' all the code
that somebody typed out
'cause the code is bloated

I am profilin' all the code
that somebody hacked out
and then committed
I am revertin' all the code
that somebody checked in
'cause it's cut and pasted

Ohh yeah, and it's not compilable
It lacks a manpage
It takes weeks to start to run
Ohh yeah, and lint says it's flaggable
I feel I need a sage
Memory peeks before it's done

You can't follow what it's computin'
You can't follow what it's computin'

It is a coupled-over whole of
a mess of issues
Guess he doc'ed nothing

[And so forth]


Well, that's what you get when I have nothing code-arrific to say. A song parody. A BAD parody at that. It wasn't supposed to be like this though. I've been programming up some good stuff! Or at least I would be if I wasn't writing bad alternate lyrics. Eventually my studies and research will appear on the blog in some form. It's a promise.

The YouTube for STP's original Dead and Bloated song can be found in studio and live versions to compare and contrast the two lyrics. (Hint: The syllables rarely mesh up.) Or just listen to it because the original is awesome anyway.

If I were to give a meaning to the post (Hmm, I think I will) I would say that it is important to utilize a decent version control system, even for personal projects that you won't share to anyone but yourself. Subversion is okay I suppose, but now that I've used Bazaar, I probably won't go back (Thanks again Paul). But either way you can't go wrong.
