Subject: [ANN] Holy Telephony Batman! It's Batphone 0.1.0

Does the world need yet another Ruby Asterisk Gateway Interface library? 
Does the world need a guy who dresses up like a bat?

I was not satisfied with the complexity and learning curve of existing 
AGI libraries for Ruby, so rather than spend an hour learning one of 
them I spent several hours writing my own. I hope this pays off in the 
future when it only takes me 5 minutes to remember/relearn how to use 
batphone. It was fun, anyway. That's the point, isn't it? That's why 
Batman does it. Not for the citizens of Gotham, but because it's fun.

Here's a synopsis:

     #!/usr/bin/ruby
     require 'agi'

     agi = AGI.new
     agi.answer
     agi.stream_file('batman_help_the_monkeys_are_everywhere', nil)
     begin
       # press pound to make them stop!
       r = agi.stream_file('tt-monkeys', '#')
     end while r.result != ?#
     agi.stream_file('POW', nil)
     agi.hangup
