Regexp Progress

Jakarta Regexp bug report is slimming down with reckless speed, thanks to the effort of Oleg Sukhodolsky. If this trend goes any further I'll have to do that final release suggested by Jon some time ago. :-)

But the really serious issues with the Jakarta Regexp are only these two:

  • Bug #764: Due to recursive implementation, size of the input limited by stack size.
  • Bug #9153: Processing time for {n,m} grows exponentially with the input size.

Now, if somebody to provide patch for these two, that release of regexp would be final for sure.

Weblog Created

Installed MovableType on my new webhost - need to try out this new "blog" thing. Seems like everybody already got one, and I have not even tried yet...

So it is actually very neat piece of work, this MovableType thing, with nice interface and CSS work. The only thing which bothers me is what's CPU utilization like with all those TrackBack and what-else features, and that admin interface does not scales well when you increase font size.

Also I quickly found out that TrackBack/Ping URL/etc works with only other MT blogs, such as Tony's one (btw, nice customization! do you always write about "Cocoon: Internet Glue" only? And good luck with this new job thing :)
