Subject: Re: Flash socket server - can I make it any shorter??

I've looked into the lists that are around for things like FreeMovie /
ming...

They aren't where I'd like them to be, so I'm going a different route.

Plus, I've never been a fan of doing it all with one tool.... oh well.

In any case - there's so much potential for applications with Flash on the
front-end and Ruby on the back-end that I often can't go to sleep at
night...

work() { | thought | SWF(thought) + RB(thought) == insomnia }

 ; )

Thanks for the comments!!

P.s. - Funny how we sign our emails the same!! This could get confusing...
