I’d like (but Ruby doesn’t pass it to Kernel.require):

 ruby -rhttp://go.hobix.com

You show me urirequire and I’ll show you an miniature apocalypse in its formative years.

I don’t know WHY I read this blog… Technical writing is supposed to be clear, if anything. We are taught that you should be concise, un-wordy, and professional.

This blog lacks all of those things, but it’s just so FUN trying to figure out what you are talking about sometimes ;)

Jomdom:Technical writing is supposed to be clear, if anything. We are taught that you should be concise, un-wordy, and professional.

Jomdom, it sounds like you’re pineing for the modern era. That was then and this is now postmodernity. Check your watch, calendar and the the current philosophical zeitgeist, you’ll see I’m right. Modernity was boring. Postmodernity promises to be much more interesting.

Hey, urirequire sounds like Web 2.0 to me! We should all jump in and use it often and with great enthusiasm!

I hope none of you out there ever stoop to technical writing. Or e-mail. I hear e-mail can be a tiresome chore.

_why: what about blogging? Kind of a gray area, no?

Yes, can someone please summarize blogging in five words or less? (Assume that the concise, single-word answer “blogging” is off-limits.)

Blogging is, basically:

Look At My Navel Lint!

Stop blogging. Nobody wants to see that. -MC

ruby newbie…

gem i -r urirequire irb >> require ‘urirequire’ no such file to load

what’d I do wrong?

Try:

 irb -r rubygems
 >> require 'urirequire'

It successfully installed, did it?

Hey, what about

uri_eval "microsoft.com/1234567890/some_code.vb"

or

class Fixnum
  include "http://rubyforge.org/projects/romani" 
 end
 p 42  #-> "XLIV"

or even

users.each &urlproc('fancyrubycodes.com/procs/japanize_name')

There is always a way to make it more online!

Goodbye SVN :externals!

require "urirequire" 
require "http://#{subdomain}.seework.com/eg.rb" 

Heh.

require ‘open-uri’

class URI ::Generic def to_proc() eval(read, nil, to_s).to_proc end end

def to_module()
  eval(read, nil, to_s)
end

def to_class()
  eval(read, nil, to_s)
end

def new(args, &block)
  self.to_class.new(args, &block)
end

def URI .flgr() result = Module.new class << result; self; end.module_eval do define_method(:const_missing) do |name| URI end alias_method :method_missing, :const_missing end return result end

(1 .. 10).each(&URI.flgr.action)

Echo = URI .flgr.echo Echo.new.x(10, 20).y

Grah, where’s the code tags when you need them?

require 'open-uri'

class URI::Generic
  def to_proc()
    eval(read, nil, to_s).to_proc
  end

  def to_module()
    eval(read, nil, to_s)
  end

  def to_class()
    eval(read, nil, to_s)
  end

  def new(*args, &block)
    self.to_class.new(*args, &block)
  end
end

def URI.flgr()
  result = Module.new
  class << result; self; end.module_eval do
    define_method(:const_missing) do |name|
      URI("http://flgr.0x42.net/code/#{name}.rb")
    end
    alias_method :method_missing, :const_missing
  end
  return result
end

(1 .. 10).each(&URI.flgr.action)

Echo = URI.flgr.echo
Echo.new.x(10, 20).y

hi, newbie question:

can someone plz explain how this gets rid of svn:externals?

thank you so much.

I can’t wait until this makes it into the ruby core ♥
