It suddenly toppled through this DRb port I just opened! An Object with an @author, @timestamp and @message. I can’t verify the authenticity. The message is:

  Tumblemail -> ActiveRecord Base
    belongs to: User
    has: content -> Link (or) Quote (or) IRC Log (or) Flickr Photo
    has: Recipient(s)

    validates presence of: User ID, Creation Time 
          and format of: Reply To with: /^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/
          also, uniqueness and existence of: URL

    ::find popular -> |n = 10|
    <- find: all,
            order by: Replies,
            limit: 0, 10

    .check status
      ? .sent (and) .finished <- "Finished" 
      ? .sent                 <- "Sending" 
      ? .ready                <- "Still in draft" 
      ;; 
    ;;

    .friendly replies
    <- replies.sender.every.friendly?

    .percentage who replied
    <- * 100 <- replies.count / sent.to_f

    .inspect
    <- #>
  ;;

He also sent a short follow-up: “Everything is a class.” Which scared the bejesus out of me and I freaked out and ran straight into the wall of my sock closet.
