thanksgiving

Why is it that the U.S.

Here we are at the US Thanksgiving holiday again. I tend towards a glass-half-empty perspective, so I make a point of reminding myself of all the good things in my life, and there are a lot of them.

[Update: I've put these parser/lexer tools on BitBucket and Github; enjoy!]

From time to time, I find that I need to put a parser together.

Most of the time I find that I need to do this in C for performance, but other times I just want something convenient, like PHP, and have been out of luck.

This thanksgiving I set out to remedy this and adapted lemon to optionally emit PHP code, and likewise with JLex.

OStatic: "If you just can't get away from email over the holidays, you can at least help test the release candidate for Thunderbird 3.0.

The Mozilla folks released Thunderbird 3.0 RC 1 on Tuesday with more than 100 changes in the release."
