I got a chance to visit http://webroar.in/ and it seems interesting.

WebROaR is an application server that makes deployments of ruby web applications extremely simple. It provides an integrated solution to view the run time performance numbers and email notifications in case any exceptions occur in any of the deployed applications. It is 5 to 55% faster than all other comparable deployment stacks for RoR apps.

Scientific explanation of Bhagwad Geeta
I recently read a very good book written by Dr. P.V.Vartak - "Geeta - Vidnyananishtha Nirupan" (Scientific explanation)
As we know, Geeta is a conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna which took place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just prior to the start of Mahabharata war. Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explained to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and real path of truth and elaborated on a number of different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. Geeta is often being described as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy and also as a practical, self-contained guide to live life especially with Karma yog. Karma Yog is a science that frees us from the bonds of actions and attachment with the attributes. According to the Bhagawad Geeta, it consists of mentally renouncing the sense of doership in favour of God while performing all actions.
Dr. Vartak has explained all the 18 chapters (addhyay) of Geeta in a very simple but superior language. Many thanks to him !
He has also pointed out some mistakes that Mahaatma Gandhi (M.K.Gandhi) did which ultimately led to a lot of violence during Indian independence. Mahaatma Gandhi used to daily worship/read Geeta, but unfortunately could not grab the real meaning of non-violence, Karma yog described in Geeta. The Geeta was actually told to Arjuna to take away his confusion and encourage him to perform his duties as a warrior. But Mahaatma Gandhi never understood the crux of Geeta and repeatedly made mistakes in terms of following non-violence, forgiving real enemies at National level and unfortunately the Nation also followed wrong leadership during that time.
I would request everyone to read this book and think in solitude on the thoughts explained in the book ... We have yet a lot to improve ...

A rumour takes wings
A pandit crossing a field felt that there was something in his mouth and spat it out. It turned out to be a heron's feather. He could not understand how it had got into his mouth and it perplexed him a great deal. When he reached home he told his wife about it but asked her not to tell anyone lest somebody put a bad interpretation on it. His wife was even more intrigued by the strange occurrence and felt the need to confide in someone. So she swore her neighbour to secrecy and told her what had happened.
Perhaps it was the way she told it, but her neighbour got the impression that several feathers had come out of the pandit's mouth. She was shocked. However, she assured the woman that such things could happen and advised her not to worry about it.
"Please don't tell anyone," said the pandit's wife.
"My lips are sealed," said the woman. But she was longing to tell someone and when she saw the dhobi's wife going past, called her in and told her the whole story. Only, she made it sound as if a whole heron had come out of the pandit's mouth.
"Never have I heard of such a thing," said the dhobi's wife, her eyes popping with excitement, "and he being a vegetarian and all that, but one can never tell..."
She went away promising not to tell anyone but on the way she met her friend and the whole story sort of tumbled out of her mouth. Perhaps in her excitement she said 'herons' instead of 'heron' or perhaps her friend just imagined she had said herons but when she told her husband the story sometime later, she was emphatic that a whole flock of herons had come out of the pandit's mouth.
And as the story spread "herons" became "herons and other birds" and then "hundreds of birds of all shapes and sizes".
By evening the whole village and several other neighbouring villages had heard the story and people began to arrive in droves at the pandit's house to witness the miraculous happenings there.
The pandit steadfastly denied that any bird had come out of his mouth but nobody would believe him and everybody begged him to demonstrate his wonderful power of producing birds from his mouth.
Finally in exasperation, he asked them all to sit in front of his house and when they had done so ran out of the back and hid in the jungle where he remained several days till the excitement had died down and the people had realised that the news was false...

email_pop_reader gem pushed to gemcutter
In one of my previous projects, I worked on ruby script to read the emails from mail-in database and process the emails as per the business requirement. In ruby, we have a libray called Net::POP3 which provides functionality for retrieving email via POP3. I went ahead with a thought of converting this to a gem.
The emails retrieved from mail-in database are stored in some sort of data structure to process further. The utility makes use of Net::POP3 and TMail libraries and provides with some handy methods such as 'retrieve emails' as array of hashes. The hash has email's from,to,cc,bcc,subject,body fields. Email body with attachment has not been considered for simplicity.
It also provides 'delete_emails(unique_email_ids=[])' method which takes array of unique email ids (retrieved with pop email unique_id) as parameter and deletes those.
Install :-
gem install email_pop_reader
(It has been pushed to http://gemcutter.org) - http://gemcutter.org/gems/email_pop_reader
OR
Download the gem file from http://github.com/NiranjanSarade/email-pop-reader.git/
gem install email_pop_reader-0.0.1.gem
