I'm a total newb as you'll find out. But regardless, i have a question.
I run the code below:
It locks up (doesn't do anything).
If i remove the while 1 and 'end' but leave the code between it works
perfectly.
It must be in how i'm envisioning how the thread works. I'm a java
programmer and this seems correct. Create the thread, define it's
works then start the thread. The call to start should return and not
block. I'm not sure what it's doing when i run the code with the
'while' statement.
Thanks for your help.

UDPSocket.open.send("ad hoc", 0, 'localhost', 10003)
puts "end client"
