ruby examples and command line interface demo

[rubiojr]

Hiya!

I've been playing with Jake Good's excellent drop.io ruby api lately
and created a few examples that hopefully will be useful to someone
else:

http://github.com/rubiojr/iorb/tree/master/dropio-ruby-api-examples

I've also created a little demo tool called iOrb to interface the
drop.io services from the command line:

Screencast: http://rubiojr.netcorex.org/iorb/iorb-0.3.mov
Code: http://github.com/rubiojr/iorb
Install: gem source -a http://gems.github.com && gem
install rubiojr-iorb

Let me know if you like the stuff!

Cheers.

Great work with this, I just whipped up an automator script that takes
a picture and uploads it to drop.io every 60 seconds. I think this
tool will be a good building block for future applications.

Quick comments:
-I was getting errors initially because I didn't have the 'choice'
gem. Might want to include that as a dependency
-I wanted to add files to a drop that let guests to add, but it still
wanted an admin token to do so. I solved this by editing the .iorbc to
manually add the drop to it.

Nice job, I've been hoping for something like this.

Hi Mike! thanks for the input. The automator stuff is a neat trick.

Yeah, the missing dep was dumb and the drop manager is a little
sketchy ATM (well, the whole thing is a little sketchy :D).

Both things should be fixed in 0.3.3.

Excellent work!! We've had some customers who are interested in this
kind of thing... Great to see more Drop.io API examples with Ruby!
