This means @awesomeness and 'self' will refer to the instance variable in the place where you called Legs.add_block, and not to the legs server as it does when using Legs.define_method or Legs.start. This should be really useful for stuff like Shoes apps, where you want remote requests to have local actions in a specific scope. e9e5d6378a698dca3589e70f9783d0d17052e1ac Jenna Fox blueberry@creativepony.com
