Handy link. I thought I'd mention a neat concept for sharing cheat 
sheets that the Ruby community uses.

http://cheat.errtheblog.com/

This little gem (literally - ruby utilities such as this are distributed 
as packages called 'gems') will accept a command line argument and 
search a wiki for community-generated cheat sheets. I used this the 
other night at the NHRuby meeting to look up the strftime() format 
options with a simple:

cheat strftime

You can see a list of existing cheat sheets that the cheat gem can 
currently display here:
