Hi all, With the latest 1.8.6 release out today, I was wondering - what would you all think of a Windows-only fork of Ruby? I mean Perl has ActiveState, right?

Use whatever

In all likelihood, this doesn''t have anything to do with backgroundrb, but I''m stuck so I thought someone might be able to help.

Hi, I need to download an image, and I''ve mucked about with Net::HTTP resp = Net::HTTP.get_response(''www.mydomain.com'', ''/test.jpg'') f = File.new("test.jpg","w") f.write(response.body) And various other combinations using HTTP.get etc. Anyway, I get an image, but it looks very psychedelic. This is obviously not the correct way.

Has anyone gotten any farther on this

I have some high-level acceptance tests that read a bunch of files, process them, and then confirm that the processed output matches the expected output.

Starting to feel more confident and code is DRYing up nicely, but I''ve hit a brick wall here and hoping someone can help me. I''ve got a module, TrustRanking, which extends a number of model''s instance methods, and I want to extend their class methods too, but I can seem to work out how to do it. Simply including the module from the class works a treat for the
