Just a quick note that I’ve released scheduler 0.3, a very small library  
which lets you schedule a block for execution at a future time, without  
requiring a bajillion sleeping threads. Scheduled blocks can also be  
cancelled before they run.

See the rdoc for usage details.

This is a bugfix release, which fixes a problem where the event loop  
ends up busy-waiting.

The library is available via Rubygems, or here:

[http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=3644&release\_id=15091](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=3644&release_id=15091)

Do you have a little example to use it?

Thank you
