TODOs:

• Extend it to work on all Slack rooms (done)
• Change the 'location' sub command to return an image
• Make it work with HipChat
• Modify the message to add line breaks between trucks (done)
• Modify the script to check current SF time instead of system time (set to PST, so no daylight savings is taken into account, but good enough)
• Enhance the message to add links to each truck's website (done)
• Handle the case where their website is not updated with this week's menu (done)

Testing / Self installation:

1. Setting up environment.rb - look at environment.rb.sample for an example.
2. Running the following: nohup ruby lib/webServer.rb &> /dev/null & or ruby lib/webServer.rb.
