generally we use select thusly:

to_read, to_write, erroed = IO.select([server])

Again you have only one socket apparently, as Robert points out you
don't need to use select. select is generally for multiplexing IO, ie
you are working with multiple sockets. So it is going to seem awkward
for when you are working with just one.
