RegEx: Online Regular Expression Testing Tool

Every now and then I have to do some RegEx stuff and I am not a big fan of pulling out reference manuals, and RegEx Cheat Sheets. Instead I have used a bunch of different online Regular Expression testing tools and I like the one that gSkinner.com has put out above all others.

Check it out, They also have a desktop version built in AIR.

Travel Reservation for February 9th-13th

Yes, I am taking a vacation. For those that know me this is a very rare occurrence. The vacation that I am taking is RIAdventure! The only way I found that I could take a "Vacation", without going to a conference to present or attend, was to be able to (at least) talk shop with a bunch of like minded people (Difficult to find around here).

So to (re)use the words of the man himself (Joshua Cyr);

The idea is simple. Let's all get together in a relaxed atmosphere someplace warm and fun in February. A cruise! No sessions. No conference. Just a predetermined cruise date and destination to share with anyone and everyone interested. Invite friends and family. Network with others interested in ColdFusion, Flex, AIR and other web goodness.

I hope to see you there.
