I recommend checking out hobix (http://hobix.com/) by whytheluckystiff (http://whytheluckystiff.net/), even if you don't intend to use it. It's a blog written entirely in ruby and based on YAML, Textile, and WEBricks.
Don't be afraid of his crazy antics/ramblings...he's actually a very cool ruby coder and you might actually learn a thing or two after laughing yourself silly. Who said setting up a blog can't be hilarious? ;) Also, a little off topic, if you're after a cool wiki written in ruby I recommend checking out instiki (http://www.instiki.org/show/HomePage). cya, nullobject On Thu, 21 Oct 2004 21:15:31 +0200, Mary Gardiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Oct 21, 2004, Mary Gardiner wrote: > > Have you ever used Pivot?
