Regex day email validation

[a-zA-Z0-9_]+[a-zA-Z0-9_./]+@[a-zA-Z0-9_]+\.[a-zA-Z]+\.?[a-zA-Z]+

This tutorial is aimed at people who'll see the above regex and think WTF is this? 
Regex is literally the easiest thing for a programmer to learn, far easier then CF and HTML, but if you're unfamiliar with regex, it looks.... weird....

SOTR my take

What a great time!

I met many new friends at SOTR, many developers, from government employees to dealers in dildos (literally).

 

Seen some great presentations also, from CSS 3 to Pomodoro.

 

I met some people whose blogs I’ve read for a long time like Ben Nadel and Ray Camden and also met some bloggers I didn't know of, it was really great catching up with old work colleagues, but most exciting of all had to be getting a photo taken that will appear on Ben Nadels blog.

CF on Dalnet IRC

Almost 10 years ago, I first came across a very small Coldfusion IRC channel on Dalnet, I soon learnt the channel OP CJ was actually a comedian doing CF part time.

 

Over the years I've tended to come and go, some years more often than not, other years more not than often, online numbers always seem to grow  and the channel often has some big names as regulars.

 

Coldfusion on Dalnet usually experiences a brief mention in the blogosphere every year or so, for this reason I thought I'd invite everyone along who hasn't visited before, simply grab your favourite IRC client, connect to Dalnet and /j #coldfusion, if you're too lazy to install a program but happen to be a firefox user then checkout Chatzilla
