Disappointed that this is about ruby something or other, and not about homebrew kodachrome.

Those links are far more fascinating than "yet another ruby lib". I too was hoping the original submission was about homebrew film or plastic. The earliest plastic goods were made from celluloid.
When I saw the title, my first thought was "Some poor soul is nitrating cellulose at home, and the BATF is staging a raid of their 'bomb factory' right now".
