  1. There's a comic book called RE:GEX (two whole issues published). I just bought them on eBay. See http://bit.ly/1lACcZ , http://bit.ly/ZlsfA
  2. I just went to a real movie theater with 150 armed soldiers in the middle of a war zone. Freakin' sweet.
  3. Just discovered while browsing Amazon that Regular Expressions Cookbook is now available for Kindle: http://bit.ly/regexbook
  4. Just made my first 13 loans on http://kiva.org :) Awesome site. @Kiva
  5. Regex pop quiz: What's the shortest equivalent to `(?![^\W-[^\p{Pc}-[^_]]]).` in .NET?
  6. @robertgentel No, there won't be a Kindle version. We're told it doesn't support some formatting in the book. Same for many O'Reilly books.
  7. Regular Expressions Cookbook is kicking ass. :-) O'Reilly is reprinting it after little more than a month. http://tr.im/regexp
  8. I just realized that Oniguruma (regex lib) means demon/ogre car. Nice! (I understand "oni" and "kuruma", but didn't recognize the compound.)
  9. Japanese blogger at http://bit.ly/16BxHc documents weird Firefox bugs with (?!) -- this helped fix an edge-case XRegExp bug in v1.1
  10. New XRegExp 1.1 fixes all known cross-browser lastIndex issues. See: http://xregexp.com/cross_br...
  11. Another day, another dust storm in Baghdad.
  12. @codylindley is there anything you'd be interested in seeing added? (re: xregexp)
  13. XRegExp 1.0.1 just released (with bugfixes). http://xregexp.com
  14. The whole lastIndex-based handling concept was bad design to begin with, anyway.
  15. JS rules for which methods do what in which modes with <regexp>.lastIndex are a bit weird. (Had to reproduce and emulate them in XRegExp.)
  16. @reybango pack it again, run document.getElementById("decode-script").disabled=false in Firebug then run the result through jsbeautifier.org
  17. Major upgrade to XRegExp, and new documentation site! http://xregexp.com Let me know what you think.
  18. I'm back in good old Baghdad after nearly a month traveling around Europe with my sister. 15 cities and 8 countries down.
  19. some fantastic reviews are starting to come out for Regular Expressions Cookbook on Amazon and from @codinghorror
  20. @codinghorror RE: regex cookbook, I'd love to hear your thoughts or answer any Qs you have about it! (Same applies to everyone on Twitter.)
