Comment on 'Empowering regular expressions' by Sérgio Santos

The tester seems really nice, maybe I'll switch.

About the verbose regular expressions in Python, that's actually a common feature in all regexp implementations. For most, adding the end option 'x' enables multi-line support and embedded comments using #. And yes, when your expression is getting a little out of hand, it sure helps to give some pointers through it...

Nice post. For testing I use http://gskinner.com/RegExr/. It's pretty good, and it also has a desktop version. As for the "readable" version, I think verbose regular expressions in Python seem much closer to that goal, both in readability and maintainability.

You just have to login on TwitterNotes using your Twitter account information. Then you can start twittering messages starting with a plus sign, in order to take notes. For more information check out the FAQ.

I would have plenty more at home if just foreign ones weren't as expensive as they are here. And it isn't cheap to order them either. But I try to get my hands on some occasionally.

That book seems great, it goes straight into my wishlist. Thanks for the recommendation ;)

Hi there, I fully agree, that the open API is one of the key features of services these days. Here is my example of piggybacking on twitter for mobile tracking: http://tinkerlog.com/2007/09/23/using-twitter-and-twibble-for-mobile-tracking/ Cheers, Alex

We just run the login information on TwitterNotes against Twitter's, on the first login. If you change Twitter's password, you need to change it too on TwitterNotes, or else we won't be retrieving any messages.

I have already did several experiments with Twitter4R and Twitter's API and I haven't found a way to get older messages, unless I don't have their specific id. I maybe me missing something, but 'since' just narrows the results from the last 20 Twitter messages anyway. And fetching that much messages every time someone logs in, it might take too long.
