As +the EOF project, namely [[ceofhack|software/ceofhack]] still +needs a user interface, I decided to write one. + +As I need an user interface, I would use myself, I wanted to use +something I can use on the console, which led me to +[ncurses](http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/). + +Eventually I found out that there is also support for ncurses +in ruby, [ncurses-ruby](http://ncurses-ruby.berlios.de/). + +Perfectly!
