We've all written craptastic code at one time or another.
It's publicly posted - it's open to critique.

I like the results you posted, and I think that like many little projects that
people have undertaken over the years, we can celebrate it as an introductory
approach to the topic, and an inspiration to others in future years.

That said, bad code deserves to be rewritten.

If I was Robertson, and visited our little corner of the internet at some time
in the future, I'd be delighted to see that someone was interested enough to
take up the torch and really make it do what I originally set out to accomplish.

Then i could play with it, enjoy the results, and have a grand old time playing
with all of the new features and effects.
