Subject: scheduler and thread

Hi
I want to make a scheduler like this.

module Timer
  def Timer.repeat_every(interval)
    Thread.new do
      loop do
        start_time = Time.now
        yield
        elapsed = Time.now - start_time
        sleep([interval - elapsed, 0].max)
      end
    end.join
  end
end

Timer.repeat_every(5) do
 puts Time.now.to_i
end

puts "Doing other stuff..."
---------------------------------------------------
But it never prints out "Doing other stuff..."

How can I make it print out like
"Doing other stuff..."
