Hallo dear folks,
I have worked with IDL for almost 10 years, mostly
with the purpose of doing research in solar physics
but also occasionally for fun.
It's been a good time. But my career in astrophysics
is at an end: today is my last day of work at the
Harvard-Smithsonian center for astrophysics.
I will return to Switzerland and in October I will
start a new job as a data analyst for a private company. While
I am not yet quite sure what tools I will have at my disposal for
the job, it almost certainly will not include IDL.
Therefore, as I will not have access to a working IDl license,
my contributions here will have to dwindle. On the bright side,
that will lower the chance of confusions of Paolos with Paulos :)
I want to use this opportunity to thank the people here
for their invaluable advice and occasional humor.
It certainly helped me a lot in getting my dissertation work
on the road in 2002/2003.
Ciao,
Paolo

Paolo, good luck on your new venture! In your new job, try to keep
from thinking too much about how you could do it so much better if you
could only use IDL more. :-)
