Silly code comments you've left to yourself

# MD5 TESTING - Adding time salt to passwords won't work, it isn't reversible!

echo 'MD5(): ' . md5(date('ymdHis', time()) . 'password-is-yummy-salty-safety-' . $pw);

A very silly, what-the-hell-was-I-thinking-when-I-wrote-this note to myself.

I still don't know what I meant but I think I was just doodling.

Vaguely sexual.. strangely arousing..

I can't think of any silly comments from my code right now, but I have a new one for you :-)

  # ...your computer really doesn't care if you seperate the password from the nonce with a dash; it's a computer, not a 2nd grade teacher[1]
  echo 'MD5(): ' . md5(date('ymdHis', time()) . 'password-is-yummy-salty-safety-' . $pw);

My computer also doesn't care if I put a space between each concatenation operator, but I do. :)

Actually using time as an additional salt is a very healthy practice, just make sure you store the time you use.

It reduces collisions.

I can't remember a silly comment right now, but I do remember that, because I couldn't think of anything better, I named one of my variables "charlie" . It wasn't a serious program though and that wasn't an important variable either. Still, I then read it and laughed.

/ the bomb! /

just before an error-prone piece of code. My colleagues had a laugh when they found it. Since then, now I mark the "dangerous zones" with:

  /*** here be ASTEROIDS ***/

I have a page on ourdoings.com that only I use, for the purpose of crediting users. (I've been given cash a few times, and I credit bug-finders.) Just now I added functionality to impersonate a user. The success message is:

You feel like a new person.
