Body
<p>I'm working on a utility that will scan USB ports and mount any Mass Storage devices it finds. I can poll for changes ( with a patched version of Ruby-USB ) but would much rather get a notification, or subscribe to some event. </p> <p>Is there a way for Ruby to be tickled when a USB stick is inserted?</p>

1. COis there a reason you're writing such a utility instead of using something that does this already? hotplug and/or udev come to mind...

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
