A fantastic hack by Shinichiro H! You can pretend to read all about it, tangled in the Japanese, and at least you can nod at the code:

 $ ruby rubyfs.rb /mnt/ruby
 $ cd /mnt/ruby
 $ cat Time/now
 Thu Mar 23 18:12:35 EST 2006
 $ ls Array
 .. a list of all Array methods ..

This is for you Linux kids only. Compile and load the FUSE kernel module. Install FuseFS. Run rubyfs.rb. We’ve been through this once with RailsFS, this extension’s a classic.

Yeah, so, Francis has this great project he’s started which plugs a bunch of writers together using the rPlanet software.

Ten-Sided is an art piece commissioned by turbulence.org and both he and I are among the ten writers who will be blogging for the next three months as fictional characters with sketchy connections, part of a building story line, working out our places on the web.

So far the technology is pretty basic. RSS and Ruby. I’m really interested to see what happens, though. As we get more of the story pieced together, I’d like to see what kinds of neat ways we could offer for reading through it. We’ve only been going for a few days, but it’s really starting to come together and really I like some of the motifs the others are dropping out. (rPlanet is the work of Joel Watson, Phil Hagelberg, and Andre Arko.)
