[ANN] sandbox 0.2

why the lucky stiff

9/8/2006 2:31:00 AM

The 0.2 release of the FreakyFreakySandbox is here. I almost had to add a third
Freaky because of some thread-related haps, but they've all been sufficient
scared and squared. Everything is now calm, like grapes on a gold platter.

gem install sandbox --source code.whytheluckystiff.net

Or there's a dist (with setup.rb inside):

http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/dist/sandb...

You will need to patch your Ruby 1.8.5 to do this. Instructions:
<http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/sandbox/wiki/InstallingTheS...

The sandbox extension lets you create new Ruby environments, either restricted
or featureful. Need a safe little housing for dangerous code, with an
explode-proof shield on it? Aha, get over here. Or, need to load a conflicting
library into a safe, clean Ruby? See, look at all these reasons.

box = Sandbox.safe(:timeout => 10)
answer = box.eval(unsafe_code)

Looksee, in this release: a timer. If you can best it, I will give you a
free, no-strings-attached photograph of young Hayley Mills.

The sandbox is often prefixed FreakyFreaky, as a warning to all that this is an
extreme hack, very experimental -- practically implausible. However, it turns
out that Ruby threading kind of does this trick anyway, so it's not really that
bad. Anyway, I like the prefix and I call the shots on this one, guys.

For more instructions, steps and things, the wiki and bug tracker is:

Regardless of your backwards tastes, it's players like this guy that
ensures the evolution of instruments and their roles. Without the spirit
of pushing the envelope of one's instrument, we'd still be banging rocks
together, like that Spike Jones bit.

Your hearing Todd Johnson on 6-string bass he has been backing Ron since the '90's and studied chord melody with Ron. Todd is a master of the looper pedal and loops the bass line so he can comp over it.

Yup, I've seen him using a looper on his own stuff where he's on his own with a Vocalist etc.
But with Ron he's playing straight up walking and comping, no pedals to be seen on any of these vids with Ron.
