Bravo! Nice to see a return to RedHanded-esque teasers ;-)

Awesome! I had to add inn.close after the inn.puts to get it to work though (on a Macbook).

thanks, that was fun to grok

I’m so lame…

ERROR:  could not find aqueduct locally or in a repository
Now I really suck.

oh, require ‘rubygems’ is for the gems listed in 1st line. Pooey. Back to typing it all out…

Don’t scare the kids!

You are nuts. In a good way.

Won’t somebody please think of the children?!

Is this childish enough for you?

Someone else has been watching Tim Brays blog too then?

I’m glad I may not be alone :D

And yes, good fun to have the old post style back, even if the parents like spoiling the fun! ;)

I really like this hack for concurrency! It struck me as cheating at first, but I think it’s more suited for all things.

Awesome job. Looks like I didn’t completely miss out of RedHanded

The style is catching on. Hooray!

Magnus, the children use win32, so if we change open3 to win32/open3, they’ll be happy.

Remember hackers! The children use win32 because they’re oppressed!

Hey _why!
Remember me? :P
Glad to see some of the redhanded style still here!
