To strengthen our ruby-fu, we'll hack one or two Ruby Quiz problems:

At the end of the meeting, we'll look at Ruby Robots:
http://rrobots.rubyforge.org/ Create your own virtual, wicked little
autonomous tank, bring its code to the July meeting (7/28), and enter
it in the Hartford.rb Ruby Robots Battle Royale for eternal glory!
Like using Ruby to play a video game.
As usual, thanks to Sun Microsystems for pizza and soda, and thanks to
Addison Wesley for donating "Design Patterns in Ruby" by Russ Olsen
for the book raffle.

Hope to see you there!
P.S. If you're too busy getting your hair done on June 30, save the
date: our July meeting is on 7/28. After the Battle Royale, Greg
Brown, ruby mendicant (http://rubymendicant.wikidot.com/) will tell us
about prawn (http://prawn.lighthouseapp.com/projects/9398/home) and
ruport (http://rubyreports.org/), and regale us with stories from the
ruby trenches, including tips for staying OUT of the trenches.
Hope to see you tonight...
