I'll take a stab at this since I signed up for bitbucket after reading the comments:
I have a lot of code. A LOT. It's mostly random things around data to make tracking things in my life easier (diet being the most recent one). And most of the code is crap in two ways: (1) I'd never want to be associated with it in a public sense and (2) It's so specialized to my life that it's unlikely that anyone would use it or contribute to it. Sure, there might be a few hundred people in the world that could find it useful, but those few hundred are unlikely to happen upon my kludged-up solution, and if they are, I'd feel badly when it doesn't work for them the way it works for me due to my personal configuration being hard coded throughout.
