Just wondering, anyone else ocasionally use goofy variables.

My favorite is to use Brady Bunch varaibles.

If I am sending stuff out and then returning/receiving another back

So I will start with Greg return Marsha

ETC

If I am on Bobby I know I am two steps away from Greg and will have Cindy returning etc


Its gets iffy after Sam and Alice
 

Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
Somewhere, Charles Simonyi is crying. ^_^
 
I shouldn't even bring up the times I use people on my softabll team for various arrays.

10 position allows me again to know the order of the arrays and wha step I am at.

Kinda allows me to build an array of arrays.

Yes ocasionally a player leaves but that allows me to date when the apllication was written.

I mean most of the times I use descroptive varaible, but sometimes you have to have fun.
 
I have enough headaches troubleshooting my code two weeks after writing it, so using descriptive variables is important to me. My big problem is finding the right wording to describe variables without them being 54 characters long.
 
We had a guy who used to work here who used non-descriptive variable names (sometimes purposely confusing).
You don't want to know what we said about him after he left!:laugh:
 
Most of the time I am structured. Write in indents for structure.
Dim varaibles and even eat my veggies. Throw in the ocasional
'***BElow code does:


'***end above code

Sometimes when I am doing something out there it helps me tobe further out there.
If it ever goes to someone it is cleaned.
 
What is it about 70's tv.

Come on anybody use "What's Happeing characters" or "Starsky and Hutch"?

I guess when I see code with "Bella and Edward" I will know I am over the Hill.

I have an obsession with using some form of the word "badgers" for most of my variables. I have no idea why.
