I was trying to write a simple UDP method to test for snmp, and build  
from there, and I came across a reference to three articles that  
looked like they’d help

[http://www.rubyinside.com/port-scanning-and-monitoring-with-ruby-and-tcp-sockets-31.html](http://www.rubyinside.com/port-scanning-and-monitoring-with-ruby-and-tcp-sockets-31.html)

Unfortunately, the website listed, beer-monkey, is now some stupid add  
site. Anyone know where these ended up?

Thanks  
–Kyle

Duhh, forgot to include the article names 🙂  
They were by Craig W.:  
Absolute basics: Connecting to ports  
Concurrent socket programming  
A more advanced port checker

Go to the rubyinside site and copy the link.

Google the wayback machine, and have it search for the link.

For the first one I found this: [Socket programming in Ruby](http://is.gd/mMEW)

Sorry. I knew about the wayback machine, I was kindof hoping the  
author had a new blog with all the old articles moved over.  
Ahh well, guess I’ll just use wbm.
