Okay, most of you know me for making stupid things that sometimes turn out to be something that others wanted, or become a mod. I was recently talking to ta friend on Discord, and he asked me how I come up with some of the things that I do, and I just said, I usually need it my self, and if I can't find it, I make it. I had that same philosophy when I worked at the restoration shop restoring old muscle cars, (50s - 70s MOPARs mostly). A great example of this would be a little script I wrote up fast. My sister was up visiting, and had family over, and we love our Pizza. Unfortunately, where I live, so far, all the places I tried are bad in their own ways. It's a sad day when you can honestly say that Dominos or Little Ceases are the best pizza in the area. Well, my family, being the people that they are, (being nice), left it to me to decide. Well, me being very indecisive, I wrote up a script to decide for me. You can see it here:

It's very plain and simple, and a challenge for me because I am still learning JavaScript/jQuery. But, that challenge of making it is what made it fun for me. Also, adding the audio touches for the messages was just added in for fun. I am sure there is a better way that I could have accomplished that, but I did what I could and worked perfect for deciding. (It made my sister decide).  lol
I will post the code below for anyone that wants to mess with it or make it better.

Overall, the thing is. When I come up with a script/module/mod/block, I make it for me, some sort of need that I need/want. If someone requests something, and if it's something I could use, I am all for making it, but, if it's something I will never use, then I have to think, how many others are going to use this and how long will it be relevant. If I think others will use it, then I will make it and the post it to the public, but, I have had request for scripts for things like old games that maybe a few would use, and I have turned those projects down.

Now, this has me wondering, have any of you written up something that was just weird, that was just designed for none other reason to see if you could, or just because of a want/need?
