No. Just no. No GOTO. NO FRIGGIN' GOTO, DAMMIT! BAD! BAD!
*pants*
Duuh, sorry for lashing out like that. Professional reflexes at play (and fear of velociraptors).
Here's how it should be properly coded to ensure disaster:
--- Code: ---while(faye.hasIssues())
{
AwkwardMoment oops = faye.talksTo(Friend(faye,"male").randomPick());
oops.getWorse();
faye.issues.add(oops.getResult());
}
--- End code ---
(heh, this forum has a "code" container, I guess it's not used very often around here)
And that's just a Java (ish) version. Behave, or I'll go Perl on you.
EDIT: and I apologize for this exceedingly nerdy post. I tend to lose my temper when "GOTO" is involved.
akronnick:
That code doesn't even have an exit condition, it is an infinite loop.
Very. Bad. Form.
Border Reiver:
I wouldn't know if i was bad form or not - the last time I had to actually prepare a computer program, it was on punch cards.....
raoullefere:
Since "The Talk" concluded with Marten insisting Faye get help and get out of what he (correctly) referred to as "stasis," he'd be something of an ass to be upset that Faye has made progress (even realizing what her past actions really amounted to seems to me to be progress). Which, of course, may not stop him, but one can hope.
Specifically, let's hope he tells her "That's great!" next strip. Or whenever regular programming resumes.
akronnick:
Jeph tweeted a little while ago that tonight's strip involves Marten and Fayes relationship and how hard it is to write, so hopefully we won't be cliff-hangered until tomorrow.
He also said something about a "Very Swet-tits New Year" so Yay?
