the open source community. Anyway, even in the case of a fastest moving community, the fact remains: node.js is here to stay, and goes on and on delivering
high quality software pieces for the entire community to enjoy, and it seems like this is only the beginning.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for more awesomeness to come…</p>

Cold Reboot2013-03-22T00:00:00+00:00http://sandy98.ods.org/presentation/2013/03/22/cold-reboot
<p>Hi everybody!</p>
<p>I’ll be pouring here my thoughts about pretty much all things techie (at least those which catch my attention), doing my best in order to avoid boring people.</p>
<p>Currently I’m diving deeply into the amazing new world of Javascript MVC (or MVWhatever), so I’ll share my ideas every time I feel it’s worth.</p>
<p>Well, that’s enough chit-chat for now, time to get down to work.</p>
<p>For the task at hand, I’ll be using a “help drawer”, that is the Code Snippets directory, which you may have spotted in the main menu. There you’ll find code
snippets of various lengths (something like a private local Gist) in some cases bound to its demo (as is the case in the first of them, Regexp Test)
That’s the one and only example so far, but more are making their way up. By the way, the attentive reader may have noticed that besides its place
where it belongs, which is the Code Snippets section, the Rexexp Test has earned a place at the very main menu. The reason for this is that
a Regexp Tester has merits of its own, after all regular expressions are everywhere, and such a tool can come in handy, and despite the fact that you can find many
of the kind in the web, well, I like mine and that’s it.</p>
<p>Should you become interested in regular expressions, I strongly suggest you to visit
<a href="http://www.regular-expressions.info/">Regular-Expressions.info</a>, IMHO the best online resource when it comes to regular expressions.</p>
<p>And that’s it for today. Your suggestions, opinions and the like will be highly regarded.</p>
