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

I bought some 3 Stooges DVDS's for my girls. They roll around laughing
their butts off.
There's just nothing like the Stooges these days - it's all anime-
style cartoon garbage
with precious little humour at any level.
