hitchhiker’s guide, ruby mozembed
Friday, September 9th, 2005"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."
i finally got around to reading the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. really funny book. maybe i will try to read the other books at some point.
i played around some today with ruby-gnome2 bindings. all i can say is wow. the website documentation is incredible, and you can do so much in so little code. i played around some with ruby-gtkmozembed, and in a few lines of code, you basically have a fully functional webbrowser.
require 'gtkmozembed' class Main def initialize Gtk.init window = Gtk::Window.new window.resize(800, 600) window.title = "ahmed's google test" browser = Gtk::MozEmbed.new browser.chrome_mask = Gtk::MozEmbed::ALLCHROME browser.location = "http://www.google.com" browser.signal_connect("title"){ window.title = browser.title; } window < < browser window.show_all window.signal_connect("destroy"){ Gtk::main_quit } end end Main.new Gtk.mai
that's all for now.
