[LRUG] another beginner.. ruby but not rails

[Roland Swingler]

yep - sorry, the link with the code I posted probably isn't the best
introduction to camping for anyone, beginner or not :) - Just my
laziness...

That said, *using* camping rather than trying to understand the crazy
stuff he is doing to get it to work should be fairly simple -
everything in just in one file.

A better starting off point? http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/

Cheers,
Roland
