As I bang my head on the wall that adjoins my computer looking at how a 100 line matlab code can go so terribly wrong that at the end I get a string a NaN for my solution and repeatedly ask every god who isn't deaf why the goddam program just won't work, I come to another spiritual enlightenement. The program won't work. Period. I probably have to list that .... that ....... thing ...... NaN.... as one of my ten worst fears. NaNophobia if you may. But the fact remains. So this article will try to be an ode to simply one of the most brilliant software ever. EVER. An ode to Matlab.
My relationship with Matlab started just this summer and judging by things it'll be a summer romance I initiated and now forever regret. Don't get me wrong. In this short time itself we've been through a lot. Negative kelvin temperatures, that .. that Nan thing and errors galore, errors that have me scratching my head for hours on end until I find I ended up missing a ' (the single quote) somewhere in some obscure corner of my program and has caused this otherwise harmless character to also become a source of fear and dread in my weak mind.
Sigh.......
Sigh.......
Sigh .........
Another sigh......
Still another sigh.......
A sigh to end all sighs......
I want to put down the long series of ups and downs I've had with Matlab, from being able to stand it to absolutely wanting to indulge myself in taking the computer apart, wire by wire, screw by screw while it is still switched on (Doesn't help, though ..... it switches off in an instant neway). But I do not find words to describe it....
Sigh........
Sigh........
Another sigh......
A sigh to end all sighs
A sigh to end the sigh to end all sighs.......
