Back from the dead
I've been experiencing FTP problems since DevelopMentor decided to install a new firewall on Thursday. If you can read this then the problems are resolved. Hooray!
I've also been pretty busy working on a secret but very important piece of new .NET software that I think will really change the way people think about components. In the process I've been getting cozy with the .NET Regular expression library. I started out building a bunch of nasty parsing code by hand, but time spent with regular expressions paid off by enormously simplifying my work. I now have one giant regex string that I can use to parse all of the input, letting me work with chunks.
The whole process went tons quicker thanks to Chris Sells RegexDesigner tool. This tool rocks! I was able to very quickly prototype ideas without having to do compile/run cycles. At one time Chris was going to sell this product but now is giving it away for free. Cool!
