Do you want to learn rake (ruby equivalent of make) ? then this tutorial is for you.

Finally, I found time to publish the photos of FOSDEM 2006. Among other bad pictures, a bunch of gentoo devs, with their name written by them :)

Since I'm working with ruby, and I'm quite new to it, I'll post some interesting stuff I learned. It's for now very newbish, but it'll eventually raise in quality

ruby stuff :

That code works :

class A
  def A.class_method
    puts "foo"
  end
end

That code doesn't work :

class A::B::C
  def A::B::C.class_method
    puts "foo"
  end
end

The solution :

class A::B::C
  def (A::B::C).class_method
    puts "foo"
  end
end
