I was sitting on the train this morning with my mate Robbie, we both had laptops out, both hacking a little bit of early-morning-commute-code.  Must have looked like a right pair of nerds

Anyway, he was coding in IDL (no, not the IDL VC++ guys are use to...), no doubt doing some high science with DICOM data, and I was coding in VB.Net, so naturally the conversation drifted to languages!

I remarked that the bit I was working on was not an elegant example of VB.Net, but rather some hackage that works and will be cleaned up in a future rev.  I apologised for its lack if readability.

Rob remarked that, it was readable... but more like readable in the same way a novel is!
