My recommendation would be to take a 100% pay cut and contribute some
time to a Ruby-based open source project. Not only do you get a chance
to work on your Ruby skills by contributing to a real project, you'll
also have no problem showing your work to potential employers.

Find a project that interests you on RubyForge (http://rubyforge.org)
and find out what you can do to help.
