Fooded!

taxlady made Shepard's Pie for supper, and I ate my first real meal in 3 days. YUM! FOOD! So far its all staying down too, and my tumbly isn't at all rumbly, so it looks good.

In other news, _sps_ mentioned plushies, and that is causing me to post this link to a man with a bunch of STRAAAANGE plushies he's made.

Urf!

Well I is going to bed now. I've spent most of the day writing a quick and dirty regular-expression-based lispoid language. At this point I'm still debugging the basic parser. It would be done now except I want to be able to generate semi-meaningful error messages and Perl's regular expression engine is not being terribly helpful. Now I HAVE discovered that Larry Wall once tongue-in-cheek offered to define \e as an escape that matches everything, even stuff '.' doesn't match (like \n) and its counterpart \E would, of course, never match. Today I needed \E.  It turns out that [^\s\S] is a pretty good approximation, so that's currently what I'm using. I do have a lingering fear (based on the RE debug dumps) that the RE engine thinks there are 7 chars that it CAN match it against.

Ah well, worries for another day, let the fraggles play...

Oorgh. Just barely awake. _sps_ phoned to chat but I wasn't yet coherent. Sorry. Am now drinking copious amounts of coffee. That should help.

In other news, knightmare6 said it before I did, but I think it still needs to be said:
