Ruby much?

Yeah, but that's wasn't the intent. Maybe setup instead of initialize. I just want something short to type and easy to remember.

Naw, I like it actually. Tho you can't tell me this wouldn't confuse a n00b esp one w/ a little ruby experience. My experience is that ppl are always confused anyhow. Fuck it. Use the language. The pretty stuff. The warts. All of it. Thats what its there for.

Sounds good, at least it works mostly how ruby works so there are no surprises there.
