First Post!

Well, obviously not really. But what it is, really is the first post with my very own home brewed bloggy posty Ruby thingy. Which has been great fun to write, as it’s been the cobble together of several libraries which I love some of and love the foibles of others (net/http to be specific.) So, this is a string of beads that goes cs/template, YAML, RedCloth (which is so cool¹), to the above mentioned, less than intuitive net/http²

Anyway, one system call, and I’m into a lovely little vim edit of my entry, which gets posted as I close it. And when it doesn’t work, it’s all there in marvelous Ruby code to fix.

Of course, some of the fixes are easier than others. For instance, both of Why’s libraries are awesome, perform exactly as advertized (although I often wish for YAML::load_from_path and YAML::dump_to_path, but that’s because I’m lazy. And it wouldn’t really be that hard. Hmm…)

¹ See?

²Well, net/https, to be precise.
