Are there some good websites with lists of Ruby tips and tricks (the  
kind of  
stuff I’d never find out about on my own)? Or maybe some kind of archive  
for  
this newsgroup?

Mike,

The two web archives of this list can be found through  
[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml) and  
[http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-google](http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-google) . Also helpful is  
[http://www.rubyquiz.com/](http://www.rubyquiz.com/) , because you get to compare various people’s  
clever solutions to specific problems.

The best short ruby reference ever can be found by googling  
“quickref”–maybe you want to read through that once.

Have fun learning,  
Dan
