Bring your problems, puzzles, questions, epiphanies, solutions, triumphs and tribulations. It's Hack Night!

This months (STILL very loose) agenda is:

1) Welcome to new people.
2) Open Code Reviews - a fast way to understand Ruby idioms. Bring a class or method and the group can tear it apart and build it up again (if needed...maybe *you'll* be teaching us a thing or two.)
3) Open problem solving, help with dev environments for new users, open discussion.
4) Lightning talks (If anyone has one they want to present.)
5) Hack Night Demo's...(I saw something called instaCalc...while not totally Ruby...very cool!)
6) Dinner? This is up in the air. Post to the list what your desire is. We'll can break around 8:30 - 9:00 and go out for food on Rt-9 or we can plan on having food at the location. What do you think?

The point of this night is to solve your problems, share nifty hacks, and get feedback on your code.

If you are completely new and want help setting up a Ruby development environment, bring your machine and you'll probably leave with a working development environment. I said probably. :)

    Is that a question for now, or for the meeting Beardsley? I don't want to answer if it's for the hack night. :)

    Can't figure out how to write an instance method of a subclass of Hash which changes the value of the hash: would be: def Hash.filter! self = self.map { . . .} end except self is read-only. How is this done?
