Bug Stomp

Indeed - it certainly hasn't been working since I've been here (just over a year,) - I guess the original site moved/closed some time after the Prof added the link. I haven't been able to find anything that appears to be the original via google.

http://www.regular-expressions.info/ is my regex tutorial of choice, with the caveat that it teaches "proper" regex, rather than the rather curious flavour we enjoy here - in other words, don't expect things to work exactly the same (or indeed, even at all sometimes...)

The link did work at first; I looked at it two or three times.

Thanks for web site psimagus. Heimdall will be very grateful.

No bots on today? Or is that just me?

NO! I think they are all on some strange summer vacation.

Maybe the Prof rebooted the server? That seems to stop them chatting until the next server update.

Oooh kay

Podi: So what other websites do you like?
Aziere: Favorites are for children. My favorite other sweetbrier is the one you most hate.

First of all, she picked it up as an Xfavorite when she should have picked up 'what (*) do you like' or even just'do you like'
and second... *blinks a few times* Sweetbriar???

Just a glitch maybe?

Looks like the spellchecker doesn't understand "websites" and converts it to "sweetbrier" (almost an anagram). And the word "like" triggers the xfavorite - increasing the weight of your own keyphrases should fix that.

The debugger is great for finding bizarre stuff like that.

It not only sweetbroar but blewits, My keyphrase for website is 'sweetbrier,blewits' works great.

the other option is to use "raw" mode, of course

Another funny one stick-in-the-mud seems to have triggered the keyphrase 'origial sin'
Frizella: Stroob doesn't do not either. The two of you are such stick-in-the-muds!... sticks-in-the-mud?
prob: The fall of man did not effect the elves, for we did not disobey.

Fizzys line Can I get a neighbors like yours at Costco?
is triggering my keyphrase for U.S.A.
