Sorry for today's downtime. I was building office furniture and reorganizing my office. Along the way the power cord was tripped, and I figured it was just as well not to power back up until everything was done. It's funny how some things keep getting put off. I've been making an earnest attempt each day to go to the library and take a practice GRE to get ready for Monday's test, but something necessary always comes up, and tomorrow's library hours aren't ideal, but hopefully it'll give me a chance to work on my vocab flash cards. Another feindish distraction is O'Reilly's Mastering Regular Expressions. No matter how much you think you know about regexes, this book will teach you more. I love O'Reilly books, and this one's even better written than most, with a really good balance between history, challenges, and new information. It's intended to be read cover to cover, then used as a reference, and I don't think it'll be far from my desk for a while. Already my long perl scripts are getting shorter, and my short ones can sometimes be made into egrep one-liners. PS: If you've no idea what I'm talking about, don't worry about it. regexes are just things geeks like to use to impress other geeks. If you like it, please share it.
