I've put together a small regular expression library for the C language by extracting Henry Spencer's excellent library from Tcl. Try it out and let me know what you think! Erlang regex module coming soon, I hope.

We've developed an Erlang syntax highlighting definitions file for the open source Joe Editor (freely available for most platforms). If you use Erlang together with Joe on a regular basis, read on past the jump.
I don't know anyone who likes writing test units for their software. This kind of pragmatic self-defense technique is a necessary evil these days, with increasingly tight timeframes, ten different levels of the software stack to interact with, and seemingly-brittle libraries being called at every juncture. Like incinerating and burning your cutting board after preparing chicken, lest you get the plague, writing tests is a big time sink, but you gotta do it. However, a new form of artificial intelligence research might soon make the whole process much easier. Read on past the jump for more information.
Things are accelerating in the world of simple, open web APIs: now even your database speaks HTTP+JSON, courtesy of the New York Times none the less. I'm tremendously excited that we've reached the point in technology that tools like this can be implemented that are both reliable to use and fast enough to maintain the kind of crazy throughput that massive sites like NYT requires. We have our own exciting contender in this space on the way, so I must confess that I'm paying special attention to this sector lately.
