There really was cake.
My mom sent me a card. It plays country music when you try to open it. With my crafty hacker skills I was able to extract the check without fully setting off the trap. It was a sweet gesture...

faire_raven mailed me a short animated clip about an insane squirrel martial artist. I think. And sotto_voce did in fact conspire with [MySpace user] to provide chocolate cake. Thanks!
In the post I also received the RegEx Pocket Guide I bought from Amazon. A co-worker had let me browse his copy and I found it tremendously informative and wanted one for my kit. This month's manga is Death Note I and even the cover is rather stylized... I may try and read a few pages of that today.
Shopping was overall successful and I got some Targe't hummus as well as a tin of freshly wrapped tortollini (they were all out of the cute little quiche lorraine pies) and some barrettes. All this and more for an outlay of <$3 is pretty good :) However, the card did not smell of bananas as advertised.

Well done!
Another brilliant year of breathing behind you. Keep up the good work :)
Re: Regex guides. My now-deceased associate Peter used to say, however:
"You have a problem and figured out a regex to solve it. Now you have two problems."
I have the full ora book on regex'es somewhere. I suspect it'll become like the original X11 reference tomes someday...strangely venerated and preserved, yet for reasons we can no longer remember.
A pocket guide seems like a good treatment for that subject, however...those guides are great fun.
Carry on :)
JWZ quote?
and I'm not, er, $noun enough to try on the real regex book yet. The pocket guide is plenty scary enough.
