Well, it happened. 7 1/2 of us showed up (my daughter stopped in for a bit), we had some fun talking about ruby, and even got some coding done on our project. There were a lot of ways it could have been better ... I'll try to put a page up on the wiki to discuss making RCRs better. I've got a *very* short report (with some pictures) up on my web site (<http://pate.eylerfamily.org/>) for those of you who are interested. thanks, -pate
