Indeed. Still accurate. ;)

Which is "wrong" according to some, but if it works, it'll be fine. :)

"Your code was crap, and didn't anyone ever tell you not to do things like
that?"
"The pile of code accumulated as a result of your excremental coding practices
was giving off a pile of steam that was obscuring a logical view of the
problem."
"GIVE ME THAT."
(grabs code and hurls the offending parts in the bit bucket)
"Here."
#for (U, 0, Usize-1)
#for (V, 0, Vsize-1)
#declare Phi = (U*Phi_inc);
#declare Theta = (V*Theta_inc);
Much more better.
And now back to the funnerer stuff.
------------------------------------------------
Today's daily summary:
Broke POV-Ray with a previously unknown bug.
("That's why we let you sit at the Adult keyboard, BE, No one breaks things as
well or as often as you do.")
Spurred good ole' jr to do some fancy array-slinging and show off a bit.
(I think he can do better ;) )
Learned NOT TO DO THAT. EVER AGAIN.
That plus a host of other things made today annoying and arduous, but
well-spent.
