Starting with what we’ve seen before.

ruby -ropen-uri -e 'eval(open("http://go.hobix.com/").read)'

Then, Francis Hwang gave us urirequire:

ruby -rurirequire -e 'require "http://go.hobix.com/0.4/"'

Either of these above techniques can be used to execute code from the new cut-and-paste service cl1p. You’ll want to read the code from d.cl1p.net, which serves up the plain/text. Here’s an example which loads Peter Cooper’s text adventure skeleton.

ruby -ropen-uri -e \
 'eval(open("http://d.cl1p.net/ruby/adventure/slightlybetter").read)'

But let’s push this beyond. What if we could add URLs to the lib path?

 require 'open-uri'
 eval(open("http://d.cl1p.net/.rb").read)
 $HTTP_LOAD_PATH << "http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/parkplace/trunk/lib" 
 require 'parkplace'
 ParkPlace.serve

Check that out. Instant apps, straight from Subversion! I dare you.
