Using Ruby's Marshal module to checkpoint tasks
Interruptions are a fact of life. Power failures, network outages, hardware failures -- all can be *really* irksome when you have some long-running complex task or calculation underway. And inventing ways to save & restore state can be drudgery and error-prone.
Ruby's Marshal module can help. It serialises data, instances, whatever, into a saveable state -- and lets you restore from it later. I'll show you how, with examples.
