It grabs a random number from [random.org](http://random.org) and uses the builder gem to create a RSS feed for it. There’s a pasties link in the comments to the code. ---

Oh no, it’s the syntax highlighting. ---

Are you talking about this? [http://redhanded.hobix.com/images/randfeed.png](http://redhanded.hobix.com/images/randfeed.png) In that case, you’ll need a couple of coloured pencils, a clean piece of paper, and a scanner (or digital camera if you’re desperate!). 1. Learn the rules of syntax highlighting for your favourite editor. (perhaps type the code out in that first) 2. Using the coloured pencils, reproduce the code on paper using the appropriate colour pencil for each code entity, as shown in your editor. 3. Scan! There you have it! Beautiful hand-drawn syntax-highlighted code. Cheers, Arlen. ---

Nah, really? :P, I believe that I need to create a beautiful [a-zA-Z0-9] pencil images, then Parse some code and replace each character for the it’s image, uh. ---
