Yeah... sorry about that. I "learned" Ruby by porting the Python. You
should really feel quite free to overhaul the Ruby stuff and make it
better and more idiomatic (Kevin Clark's already led the way, doing
quite a bit of that).

Subject: Re: Ruby Thrift::Socket timeout?

I wouldn't consider it good idiomatic ruby, but the Thrift libs aren't
structured as good idiomatic ruby. My only reason for suggesting the
Thrift::TimeoutTransport is so it could work with other transports that
implement #to_io, but I'm perfectly happy just giving Thrift::Socket the
optional argument.
