Ruby.Darwinianweb is working

I think I've got everything working on ruby.darwinianweb.com at a pretty basic level. I wrote a simple Ruby script to retrieve an Amazon page with HTTP, just to get my feet wet. Considering the amount of time I've been working with it, Ruby looks like it will be a lot of fun. I've hardly been stuck at all during this process.

I think having a separate site to write about my experiments with Ruby is a good idea, because it will allow me to geek out there without turning this into a pure programming blog. The main Darwinianweb.com site will stay focused on my reactions to new events and technologies on the Internet. The only weird thing will be posting my code as I learn the language. In the past when I wrote about programming I always waited until I was proficient in the language before publishing my work. That way I could go back and fix any newbie mistakes I made early on. This new style of code blogging will take some getting used to.
