Week 2 Day 3: A Shining Moment

Major activities of the day: Assignment working with classes, homework review, lecture about the subtleties of classes and instances and variable scope.  Honestly, though, I'm mostly focused on (and super excited about) my first Ruby Gem!  It's now available by typing "gem install check_everything" on the command line.  The documentation and source code is at https://github.com/amcaplan/check_everything.  Check it out!  It's an easy way to launch a set of favorite websites from your command line.  It takes a bit of initial configuration, but if you commonly check a particular set of websites, this will make your life just a bit easier.

Skills developed: Working with classes/objects and variable scope, and - in my case - making Ruby Gems!
