Also with the purpose of learning, I'm working on Martin Fowler's
Application Facade Example [1], translating it from java to ruby while
trying to exploit the idioms of ruby. Along the way I'm doing test-first
with RUnit (cannot wait to see Lapidary emerge from www.sourceforge.net!)

I'm doing it in my little amount of spare-time. Because of this, the
progress is slow (just refactored level of consciousness). I haven't saved
the steps in between the refactorings and left out some of the things (like
the null-object pattern...) -- but: If anybody [2] is interested, I'll
happily send it to them.

Regards,

Dennis
