<-- Sowing seeds, not sure if they will sprout...
@slagyr So if I understand you correctly 100 LOC = 100, 200 LOC = 80, 400 LOC = 60, is that correct? give or take

@sneakin rescue only catches StandardError and descendants... I guess someone decided time outs aren't 'standard'... *shrug*

<- was channeling his inner yoda last tweet
@botchagalupe Rockin' the Meat Cloud metaphor is his blog, very nice... http://tinyurl.com/6dqvdu Now if we can automate middle managers...
