Francis Hwang had the bright idea, and it really cool to see all the faces I've been talking to virtually. If you're going to RubyConf, and you haven't yet checked out and posted to RubyConf2005Facebook: [http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyConf2005Facebook](http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyConf2005Facebook) then please do. Thanks, Curt ---

And what about RubyFaces in general? I won't go to RubyConf, so I'm not allowed to post my picture there.

The whole idea is to help those going to RubyConf recognize each other. I think that goal would be diluted if there was too much extraneous stuff. You bring up a good point, though... There should be something like this for everyone. Maybe you could set up a spot Flickr for Ruby folks to post there pictures.

According to his blog, he's got a ruby script rotating the picture on every reload. Just the same, it gave me a bit of a start for a moment. I noticed it change to a different image once, then edited the wiki and saw it go back to the original picture. I checked the revisions and there was only mine, so I thought for a moment I had accidentally reverted the page to a previous version somehow! It didn't occur to me immediately that he could have changed the file on his server without editing the wiki.

Never mind, dblack helped me figure it out. Social software crisis averted. Now there's a nice little index up top. Sorry about the double-page-request, though, I don't think I can do anything about that with the RG wiki syntax working the way it does.

You can't make a wiki link on RubyGarden that points locally to an anchor. You can only point globally to the URI with the anchor, so you end up re-loading the page. 2. All external links go through Google, which I guess was an anti-spam measure, since such links are not counted in Google's index. I think now this could be accomplished with rel=nofollow.

RubyFaces or something, I suppose. Well, anyone can create a wiki personal page, add an image link, and add, someplace on the page, CategoryRubyFaces. Then one can find all such face pages by searching on CategoryRubyFaces. See [http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?JamesBritt](http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?JamesBritt) as an example.
