I'm still working on a "Ruby for the Nuby" book, but it won't be out 
anytime soon. The market for books is kind of weak right now and unless 
a book has real promise of shipping in volume, it isn't getting much of 
a look in at contract time right now.

Before I realized that I did get a series of 7 "Ruby for the Nuby" 
articles published on the InformIt site http://www.informit.com/ (free 
registration required etc.)

I still intend to finish writing the book, but it is in the queue 
behind more commercial projects (writing and otherwise).
