Hi!

Welcome!

Are you new to Ruby? Would you like some pointers?

na, I've been used it for my project last year (cgi, ick) & then didnt  
do any programming until last week.

I thought I would never like programming again (after cgi), and then  
ruby has just fixed that right up.  
I seriously cant believe how OO it is, I think of how I might get  
something to work, I code it, it works.  
Beautifull is the only way I can describe it.  
Thanks though.
