Ever since I learned regular expressions, they have been one of my most beloved features of any language, especially Python. I know lots of people just cringe at the thought of having to sit down for 30 minutes to hash out a 40 character pattern, but it's too powerful to pass up. Up until recently, my process was just to think the problem through and slowly work up the pattern until I got something that worked. Debugging consisted of merely pulling pieces out and trying them individually. That was until I discovered the hidden Python regex debugging feature a couple weeks ago on Stack Overflow, thanks to BatchyX.
The SigB is my own little creation used mostly as a learning experience. It's taken several different forms over the past few years -- this one is by far the most advanced. This current iteration is all completely dynamic, includes a blog, and will also soon have a photo gallery.
I also built thesigb.com to serve as sort of a biography of myself and a place to share what I learn. I've recently become overly-facinated with python programming and would like to share what I've discovered. I've also written a few things I believe would be useful to someone else. I may tinker with creating a code section of this site as well to allow me to share and discuss my work.
This site is all built on Django -- a Python-based web framework for very rapid web development. The design of the page drew from several sources of inspiration (which I will name later) but was all created by myself.
The site is far from finished -- I have yet to create a photo gallery, touch up styling in various parts of the site, and just generally complete the layout.
One section in the works is a photogallery section to publish a some of my amateurish photography. Right now, I tend to stick with deviantart (though I haven't updated it in quite some time). Here is my DA page.
