I'm starting to repeat myself

nobody wants me to do that

not you guys

and not me

it needs

some

sort

of

..

..

(gets his 2nd opera type wind... but is laying on the stage
 with his hand on his fatal wound - and he's singing - nobody seems
to
care why - shut up )

so i'm self taught, sorry but the schools here were teaching cobol and
assembler when i got started...  that doesn't help

i work alone, nobody on our peninsula speaks ruby, they are
discovering
html (maybe not, but i have met anybody else) - so on like most of
you(?)
i don't have daily discussions with the guys that still smoke, if
anybody
still does.

i have't been to a conference since 1984, Pascal, and our pres was
selling
a pascal to c translator - i just sorta thought, why? after that.

i love ruby, i knew programming, and gosh dang it i have something
WORKING that does what i wanted it to do better than i ever expected.

when i started this i had the complexity in other places.  step-wise
(our old buzz word) i have reduced and reduced the complexity until -
i thing - i believe - i have seen the danged things get generated from
a SIMPLE "form" of simple multiple choices.......  what else can I
say????????   if you filled one out (on line of course) and don't
think you'd have any clue that you just picked a helper library /
choose the methods and specified AN assertion (in some way - well it
works and doesn't need any weird prolog type statement, doesn't use
those cool symbols - BUT you telling it how to answer your question -
its not magic - but I would not have thought it could be so SIMPLE -

but let me tellya - the system that makes that damn thing are rather a
royal pain to work on - just true.

but MAYBE this is like, ah, where RUBY can do something that Python
and his flying circus friends can't do as well....

Reallly truly i need DIAGRAMS, and a big pointer stick, and guys
telling me how smart i am and I could do it, i know i could but....
i'm thinking this ain't gunna work, ya know, there are 8 parts - this
circle of power thing - and it just ain't gunna work.....not on this
forum with you guys as this is going.

Ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhh

i'll send you guys a link to something that WORKS - from the otherside
- i'm fading

i'm faded.....

bye
