  1. @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.
  2. Regular Expressions Cookbook is kicking ass. :-) O'Reilly is reprinting it after little more than a month. http://tr.im/regexp
  3. I just realized that Oniguruma (regex lib) means demon/ogre car. Nice! (I understand "oni" and "kuruma", but didn't recognize the compound.)
  4. Japanese blogger at http://bit.ly/16BxHc documents weird Firefox bugs with (?!) -- this helped fix an edge-case XRegExp bug in v1.1
  5. New XRegExp 1.1 fixes all known cross-browser lastIndex issues. See: http://xregexp.com/cross_br...
  6. Another day, another dust storm in Baghdad.
  7. @codylindley is there anything you'd be interested in seeing added? (re: xregexp)
  8. XRegExp 1.0.1 just released (with bugfixes). http://xregexp.com
  9. The whole lastIndex-based handling concept was bad design to begin with, anyway.
  10. 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.)
  11. @reybango pack it again, run document.getElementById("decode-script").disabled=false in Firebug then run the result through jsbeautifier.org
  12. Major upgrade to XRegExp, and new documentation site! http://xregexp.com Let me know what you think.
  13. I'm back in good old Baghdad after nearly a month traveling around Europe with my sister. 15 cities and 8 countries down.
  14. some fantastic reviews are starting to come out for Regular Expressions Cookbook on Amazon and from @codinghorror
  15. @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.)
  16. Regular Expressions Cookbook is in stock on Amazon today! Order your copy: http://tinyurl.com/r6c2m7
  17. It's muding in Baghdad. I.e., it's raining mud droplets during a dust storm.
  18. the microsoft.com homepage is currently down ("We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.")
  19. orthopedist says I should take a week off from typing, but I can't have that luxury right now
  20. Last day at work; staying late
