The one thing I have problems with (in any language) is sockets. How is data sent to the server in Ruby? I figured out you need to use the Send() function, but what are the parameters? Do you need to use a UDP socket to use the function or is TCP accepted? At the moment, this is the only code I can find: CODE socket.send([Time.now.to_i].pack("N"), 0, host, port)

My Contributions	Whether to use UDP or TCP depends entirely on the server. At its heart, like everything Unix-related, a socket is a file. Therefore, you can use regular IO functions to write to/read from the socket.
