		<title>Taking Pictures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s how to grab a single frame from a live video stream using GStreamer on Linux in Ruby.

The trick is to use the &#8220;last_buffer&#8221; property on your video sink.  That contains the last frame that was displayed to your screen.

You can use RMagick to convert that into something you can use like this:




#!/usr/bin/ruby

		<title>A SOAP kstat server for Solaris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m learning Ruby, and as an early project, I thought I&#8217;d write a little SOAP server for exposing Solaris &#8220;kstat&#8221; output to the network.

It&#8217;s embryonic, but it works.  I&#8217;d like to do a little more input sanitation, since it&#8217;s certainly possible to really hurt your server by requesting a kstat value of &#8220;::&#8221; (which [...]]]></description>
