Flutterby™! : Poignant guide to Ruby

Flutterby is changing, and those changes leave me thinking that I ought to take some of the minutiae of my everyday life and put it somewhere else. I'm also realizing that I don't want my journaling as split up as it is, and while I'm not quite ready to go as clamped down as Columbine, rather than having "the other place" I'd rather have ways to tag some articles for public consumption, some for just me, and some for various classes in the middle. In other words, I'm looking for a first step towards reviving the snippet manager.

One of the technologies I've wanted to look at on that front is Ruby, and Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby seems like a good start.
