From Jonathan Gardner's Tech Wiki

Welcome to my technical wiki. My name is Jonathan Gardner, and I'll be your host.

This wiki is really designed for myself. Think of it as an open notebook.

I try to organize things by concepts. For instance, regex covers regexes in all the languages I know (Python, perl...), as well as the regexes used by Unix command-line utilities like grep.

This wiki isn't intended for users to contribute to. However, I greatly appreciate questions, comments, suggestions and corrections sent to my email at jgardner@jonathangardner.net. Don't be shy.
