Good!

Hello! We're doing pretty good - but the newsgroup isn't since the gateway has been shut down. I regret that but things are the way they are. You'll find more of us on the mailing list and on http://www.ruby-forum.com/ .
> I'm studying hard, trying to get down the syntax and going over tutorials.
Good.
> I can write simple code now, but I have very high ambitions.
Well, be prepared that it might take some time until you get there.

There used to be a bidirectional gateway between c.l.r and ruby-talk ML which has been shut down. Now there is only a gateway left between ruby-talk ML and ruby-forum.com.
