Welcome to Sorcerer's Isle, a weblog covering a multitude of topics, ranging from programming to 3D graphics; photography to gadgets; tutorials to tinkering. Fun

<p>It's 1st June 2010 today, and that means we're celebrating for the third time the annual International Regular Expressions Day.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bennadel.com">Ben Nadel</a> kicked off this event two years ago, in order to promote the use of Regex, especially amongst those who might consider them something scary and obscure.</p> <p>As before, Ben is running a contest, this year's prizes being some O'Reily Regex books and IIS Mod-Rewrite Pro licenses.</p> <p>Entry to the competition requires writing some code, and the deadline is today, so if you're interested then hurry up and <a href="http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1923-3rd-Annual-Inter-National-Regular-Expression-Day-And-Prizes-June-1st-2010.htm">read the blog entry to find out more</a>.</p> <br/> <p style="text-align:center"><big><a href="http://www.regular-expression-day.com/">Happy Regex Day!</a></big></p> <br/>

<p>In the comments for a <a href="http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/07/why-cant-you-have-just-one-site/">recent Stack Overflow blog article</a>, <a href="http://www.shrinkrays.net">Chris</a> asked:</p> <blockquote>Can somebody photoshop the top 7 SO users by reputation (Jon Skeet's face onto Superman) onto that comic, just to make me chuckle!</blockquote> <br/> <p>Which sounded like fun, so I went ahead and did it.</p> <br/> <a class="image w512" href="/images/stofu-league.750x562.jpg"><img class="single" src="/images/stofu-league.512x384.jpg" alt="Stack Overflow - League of Justice" title=""/></a> <p>Was a fairly quick job, so there's some rough bits, but I hope you like it, Chris.</p>
