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.

Topics Covered

International Regular Expressions Day

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.


Happy Regex Day!

The Stack Overflow League of Justice

In the comments for a recent Stack Overflow blog article, Chris asked:

Can somebody photoshop the top 7 SO users by reputation (Jon Skeet's face onto Superman) onto that comic, just to make me chuckle!

Which sounded like fun, so I went ahead and did it.


Stack Overflow - League of Justice

Was a fairly quick job, so there's some rough bits, but I hope you like it, Chris.
