    Hi,

    Anyone up for doing a morning run at GITP, starting on Saturday morning for 8am. How about a gentle run out to Monyash and back again. I don’t think it’s too far a run. Bring your running shoes ;-)

    So who knows RUBY? At the shacknet meet up on August 17th at Gistlab I’d like to look at getting the RAD framework going and talking to an Arduino using RUBY.

    Thanks to all who came to SHACKNET on Thursday 29th. The night was trurned over to actually doing stuff rather than talking about stuff (and eating lots of sweets).

    Does anyone have any experience of writing libraries for Arduino? I want to string handling library that would make it easy to build up strings, find the position of one string within another, see if one string exists within another, that sort of thing. Any ideas?
