Increasingly bewitched by the Ruby on Rails buzz in the development communities on the web, and therefore getting excited by the possibilities of using it as a framework to create MakeMode apps, I took the bull by the horns and went down the the London Ruby User Group meeting in Clerkenwell last night.  Great evening, with two hardcore and enlightening talks from Tiest and Tom - especially since I am from the other side of the tracks - being a designer client-side coder. I thought I may be socially excluded from the group but no - they accepted me with open arms.  The beer and chat in the pub was good too.  Cheers to Rob and everyone there for being so welcoming.  

Ruby on Rails.  Such cool names.
