&ldquo;first there was a three-legged monkey...&rdquo; tag:andthennothing.net,2005:Typo Typo 2005-12-18T03:19:08+00:00 Jonas Bengtsson jonas.b@home.se urn:uuid:c489c3a2-acad-4048-8d46-d8c0c68154d3 2002-06-30T05:04:27+00:00 2005-12-18T03:19:08+00:00 <p>Today I have played a little with <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/">Ruby</a>. I have tried it before but had great difficulties writing anything useful (and since I knew some <a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a> I didn&#8217;t really see the meaning of learning another similar script language). But this time I read some of the documentation, which made it a little easier :-)<br /><br />The reason why I played with Ruby today was to get ready for <a href="http://hem.passagen.se/zanoi/blog/2002_06_01_archive.html#78310832">Burger</a>. So I&#8217;ve created a <span class="caps">XML</span>-RPC server which mimics the appearance of <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Blogger</a> (b2, MovableType, Nucleus, BigBlogTool, BlogWorks <span class="caps">XML</span> and Blogalia all have the same Blogger look-alike <span class="caps">API</span>). That way I can use the same tool for editing the blogs as I do today, namely <a href="http://wbloggar.com/">w.bloggar</a> (there are other equivalent tools as well). I&#8217;m not finished yet but I&#8217;m able to post new entries and edit old ones, so I hope it will be quite easy to adapt it to Burger.<br /><br />By the way, I saw <a href="http://www.spiderman.sonypictures.com/">Spider-Man</a> today at the cinema. It was an awesome movie!</p>
