    You wrote "...so without further adieu..."

    Hmmm .. you probably don't want the French for 'goodbye', but the English 'ado', as in fuss, trouble, or bother.

    Pretty boring example. I've been learning erlang and working on a gen_server that uses the "distributed applications" feature and replicated mnesia. I can kill one of the servers and the other takes over with the same state.

    Mr. Design,

    What can I say? Everyone's a critic.

    This tutorial was aimed at people who don't know Erlang that well. It took me a good two or three days to suss out how to use gen_server properly. The current documentation is extremely dense.

    Also, I'm going to be following up with more "interesting" (read: complex) examples, so keep your eyes peeled.

    Mr/Ms "Web Design Company" should perhaps learn how to appreciate the effort involved in creating such a "boring example".
    As I found it both informative and well written; what else would one want from a "Tutorial". :)
