Hi Terence,  
Nice patch.  
Are you planning to continue to work on the Socket library? I wasn’t  
sure  
and so I have been doing some work on it. Perhaps we could work  
together?  
I started creating some RSpec tests running for the library and added to  
the  
functionality you have already produced.  
I should have a patch of my stuff available next week.  
Pete

Hi Peter,

I am planning to continue working on it, as time permits.  
Unfortunately, the real world has interfered with my plans to work on  
it over the past couple of months, and it looks like I will continue  
to struggle to find enough time for it going forwards, so I’m happy to  
hold off for now - at least until you’ve released the stuff you’ve  
been working on.

Thanks for the heads up.

Terence
