I’m pleased to announce the public release of our Nabaztag  
communication library for Ruby.

The Nabaztag ([http://www.nabaztag.com/](http://www.nabaztag.com/)) is a small electronic rabbit  
with lights, motorised ears, and speech.

The library enables control of the text-to-speech, ear movement, and  
choreography features of a Nabaztag device. It implements a small DSL  
for choreography commands.

Paul.

PS - Yes, we actually use this at work!

I find the whole idea of a Ruby library for controlling a little white  
rabbit through a REST-ful API over the Internet very entertaining. 🙂  
Thanks for this! I will probably use it for my upcoming programming  
introduction for my daughter… 🙂

Regards,

Robert F.

It performs a couple of announcement functions. First, it reports the  
success or failure of builds on the continuous integration machine.  
Second, it announces every time our review aggregation service  
receives a ping. It’s nothing that couldn’t be handled by a computer  
playing a few samples (or using OS X’s text-to-speech), but it’s more  
interesting this way!

Paul.

Being French, I particularly appreciated the phonetic translation to  
French of your warning sentence. It made me laugh out loud !

Paul, can you bring that to the next LRUG meeting?

Oh, and you’re insured if it goes missing, aren’t you…? _ahem_ 🙂

I never thought I would want a small toy rabbit but I do! Does it work  
in the US?

Awesome idea!

I can just see the remake of the Matrix, “Neo, follow the nabaztag”. 🙂
