Coding conventions

I'm lazy, I admit it, and I think all developers are essentially lazy. I like my code to be as easy to read as possible, I like whitespace and I enjoy the use of comments. Mostly I prefer my code to look the same. Here is a link to my guidelines. Rememeber that's all they are, not rules but preferences.
