Writing a server is pretty easy:

=======
require 'socket'

server = TCPserver.open(2000)

while conn = server.accept
  conn.puts Time.now.to_s
  conn.shutdown
end
=======

Or if you want to use threads:

=======
require 'socket'

server = TCPserver.open(2000)

while 1
  Thread.start(server.accept) do |conn|
    conn.puts "hello"
    # do something
    conn.shutdown
  end
end
