To to learn Ruby On Rails, I have decided to make an application that lets me play with regular expressions. For the first version, I simply want to create a field where I can enter a regular expression, another field that lets me enter sample text, and a button that runs the regular expression over the sample text and shows the match status in a third field.

So what am I up to these days? Apart from procrastinating on finishing the monome, I am currently getting my feet wet with metaprogramming using Ruby. Dave Thomas of the pragmatic programmers has a nice series of screencasts on the subject, which not only teaches metaprogramming, but also gives a very good overview of the ruby object model. Also I am trying to teach myself PhotoShop.
