why the lucky stiff

Beloved friends and key witnesses: Holy highkick! I (at last) present
chapter five!

Fifty-two pages of spooky new adventures in Ruby. This is a big one
for me: the book is now halfway. And I guarantee to you that -- should
you read -- you will be in a new place, wading in the schemings of pygmy
elephants and deer with powdered wigs.

Travel now and read: http://poignantguide.net/ruby/

What is the (Poignant) Guide? I am here to tell you that it is a very
obscure book, a minor ripple in the orchestrations of mankind, a
scattered amalgamation of inky blotches and ridiculous code fragments --
at best -- a transcription of animal software from the original
woodblock prints. And I haven't meant to corrupt the text with my
snivelling biographies, but it has happened already, what can be
done?

A printable HTML version is available as well. You'll find a link to it
and instructions for printing in Firefox at the Guide's site. Be aware,
it's large as a squirrel heaven. Let it load, let it.

Well, cheerio. Thankyou to Matz for his excellent resource "Ruby in a
Nutshell". It's the employee handbook here at the plant.

Very nice _why. I like reading your sites often. My
favorite topic is "bread man". Your guide is most
excellent, keep it up :)

Crazy as always, why.

An hour? Much more like three.

This is one hefty tome. Well worth the money.

Thanks, David, Kaspar, Lennon, Gavin. If any of you have some counsel
for improving the teaching employed so far, head over to the
poignant-stiffs list:
<http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/poignant-stiffs>

I could really use some input. Is anyone actually learning Ruby through
the book? Also: got any ideas for getting it out to people who wouldn't
normally read a manual?
