Welcome to Sorcerer's Isle, a weblog covering a multitude of topics, ranging from programming to 3D graphics; photography to gadgets; tutorials to tinkering.
Within Sorcerer's Isle are three sub-blogs, which each focus on different aspects:
At Sorcerer's Tower you'll find programming and web dev; Midnight Isle covers photography and digital art; and with 100% Geek you'll find gadgets, gaming, technology, and more.
Articles may appear on just one of the weblogs, or across multiple, but every article posted will always appear on this one.
It's 1st June 2010 today, and that means we're celebrating for the third time the annual International Regular Expressions Day.
Ben Nadel 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.
As before, Ben is running a contest, this year's prizes being some O'Reily Regex books and IIS Mod-Rewrite Pro licenses.
Entry to the competition requires writing some code, and the deadline is today, so if you're interested then hurry up and read the blog entry to find out more.
If the momentus event this post is celebrating wasn't obvious from the title, here is an even bigger clue:
echo "scale=33;4*a(1)" | bc -l | perl -e'$p=<STDIN>;$p=~s/^(\d)\.(\d)(\d)\2(\d)\d(\d)(\d)\d{3}(\d{2})(\d)\d\d{17}(\d)\d*$/\2\5\1\3\4\6\8\7\9/;print$p'

Last weekend I went to my first airshow in ages, at Lydd in Kent, and took lots of photos of the various flying machines there.
This entry is essentially just an excuse to show of some of the photos I took.
