Hi all,
Once upon the time I wrote a silly little article on web scraping with Ruby:
http://www.rubyrailways.com/data-extraction-for-web-20-screen-scraping-in-rubyrails
The article got very popular somehow, so I have decided to continue with it - and since a lot of people kept me asking for the next installment that I promised at the end of the first part, I would like to announce it also here:
http://www.rubyrailways.com/data-extraction-for-web-20-screen-scraping-in-rubyrails-episode1/
The article is quite different from my original plans, (and hence I guess from the expectations) because something happened in between - well, read the article and you will see what 
Cheers, Peter
