Hackety Hack for Ubuntu

[Martin Owens]

I look forward to it, as a long time Perl and Python programmer I will
be eagerly looking to see what Ruby is and if Rails is any good for
production grade coding.

Oh and I'm currently job hunting so if Dell want a linux person for
their Boston office I'd be very interested.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
