Greg Knaddison is working on a list of statistics to track the health of the Drupal community. One of the stats mentioned was "Number of Ponies Eaton Owes Dries for Core Commits."

For the record, I am currently four ponies in the hole. Three of these ponies were accumulated during the early FormAPI 3 development and testing process. The fourth was lost to Dries during a secret high-stakes game of poker that resulted in the repositioning of the Primary Links menu in Drupal 6's standard page.tpl.php file.

This blog post will be updated in the future as more pony-debt is accumulated.

Totally got the third item in that list from @blakehall btw. He's the clever one! — 1 hour ago

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again.
