I recently wrote a challenge/quiz for www.osix.net (a nice little
challenge site..  good place to strut your ruby) it hasn't been
released yet but will be shortly.  The challenge to to decode a string
of telephone keypresses to words as if composing a message using
predictive-text (T9).  Is this what you meant?  If so could I ask that
it is held off as a ruby quiz until our challenge has run its course
and the prize winners are announced, release is any day now, runs for
one month.

Tom.

P.S I wrote the original converted in Ruby.. very easy.
