I like that the whole project seems to be motivated out of spite for a particular individual on IRC.

Heh, yeah.

Although that person was actually mostly right about me; that project is the only real success I've had in my line except getting married and staying married. (And quite frankly, that's just because my wife seems to like me more than I deserve.)

Family > computers. Besides, what portion of people get any of their programs pulled into even a single other project?! An accepted PR is more than 99% of the world will ever contribute to software development!
