Oh! I have a good idea. I need to quickly add a new feature on my movie database app.

Why can't I access my raspberry pi? [5 mins of troubleshooting]
...Oh darn, router has apparently changed the pi's IP address. Well, no biggie.
[random setting file editing]

Ooh! #RubyLang 4.0 is apparently out.
[rvm furiously compiling for 10+ minutes]
...Might as well upgrade to #RubyOnRails 8.1 while I'm at it, doesn't look like a massive change.
[hit da button to make bundler redownload a whole bunch of gems for ages and I don't even know if it's successful yet but I hope so]

...right, where the hell was I?

Just released the first "stable" version of doing, a rust clone of the ruby gem doing by @brett. I would love for you to take it for a spin, especially if you've used doing in the past.
