Usually this group is deep into vectorization, optimization, and so on…
except for David's occasional asides on tennis. However, does anybody
have any interesting/funny/random/ IDL code that makes your programs
more enjoyable to use? As a VERY simple example:

function stupid_error_message
output=['I do not like you',$
'This program has many bugs, stop whining!',$
'Are you an idiot?',$
'Why did you do that?',$
'Please stop crashing the program!']
return,output[fix(randomu(seed)*5)]
end

The output array is sanitized for general consumption, usually I’m a
bit more explicit…but you get the idea. I like the option of
generating random insults when users cause my stuff to break, though
typically it’s my fault.

Take care,
frank
