Working with Ring/Rinda

ruby-talk
1

I need some help in understanding the Ring API (even if it is “unstable” per
the author) which comes with Rinda library of DRb 2.0.4
(http://www2a.biglobe.ne.jp/~seki/ruby/drb-2.0.4.tar.gz). I am using it with
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-mswin32] on Win XP.

Specifically if some one can demystify the three samples (ring_echo.rb,
ring_inspect.rb,ring_place.rb) that come with the distro, that will be
great ! There is very little documentation in English :frowning: (But there is some
schematics in Japanese which may be of help:
http://www2a.biglobe.ne.jp/~seki/ruby/ring.html)

Just a few lines of explanation of what each of the scripts is supposed to
do, should get me started (I think).
I promise to put it up on the wiki once I figure it all out.

TIA,
– shanko

That did not quite for me …it simply converted the Japanese symbols to
Yen, $, and ? symbols.
But thanks for your attention.

It works fine for me, just select the correct direction
(Japanese → English, the one on the right; I suggest that you learn
these 2 Kanji, I’m sure they’ll be helpful in the future :-).

Shashank, I’ve been doing some work with Rinda and Ring. I’m
(tentatively) planning to write a small tutorial on it, but before then
maybe we can catch each other on IRC and do some experimenting.

Perfect ! Thanks Chad :slight_smile:
