Last week we managed to get a good start on a ‘simplest possible’  
persistence mechanism for saving podcast settings and podcast current  
state. This is an important step in making the application ‘useable’.  
Anyone that is interested in helping out while learning more about Ruby  
and  
TDD (Test Driven Development) are more then welcome to come by. We  
normally  
meet at 7pm over at the Columbia MD Panera Bread in Dobbin Center (some  
of  
us show up early, so come sooner if you can).

For directions to Panera Bread  
see\<[http://www.panerabread.com/Map.aspx?LocationId=636](http://www.panerabread.com/Map.aspx?LocationId=636)

> . (NOTE: This is NOT the one at the Columbia Mall.) I will monitor for  
> cell calls at 240-671-9368 in case you have trouble finding us.
