Chris, how are you and Ruby doing on Pass21 so far? We would be interested to know.

After all my kicking and screaming I haven't uploaded anything cool yet. I am working on learning Rails right now on my dev server, so I'm not really a Ruby expert yet. I expect in the next week (and month), as I get better, I'll try to replace some of my current code with Ruby code and see how it goes (http://www.kiwilyrics.com/kiwizer/ for example).

I'm about to head off to Barnes&Noble to do some Railing...maybe I will be able to show something interesting tonight or tomorrow. I'll let you know, thanks.

Any new Ruby excitement?

I've had a few attempts at getting Rails to run, but am still doing my homework as to how to get it flowing.
