My experience with Net::SSH was that there is pitifully little helpful
documentation for the OpenSSL ruby module. I finally had to go to
http://www.openssl.org and read those docs, and then dig into the ruby
module source code to see how it corresponded to the OpenSSL API... it
was not very fun.

If you have any specific questions, I may be able to help. There are a
few others on this list that are much more proficient at it than I am,
though, and they will almost certainly be able to answer anything that I
can't.

In my experience, looking for documentation on the less commonly used
functions in OpenSSL (the OCSP API, for example), is a frustrating
experience.

Shouldn't that be "until I get to 7"?

Depends on how you are understanding "until". Pseudocode:

i = 0
until i == 8
puts "%o" % i
i += 1
end
puts "%d" % i

It's probably time to change my sig, anyway. I've been getting too many
raised eyebrows from it. It was meant humorously.

I find that sigs pigeonhole me, much like bumper stickers or T-shirts
with slogans. I try to avoid them.

I see an opportunity for golfing!

puts (0...map { |i| (i < 8 ? '%o' : '%d') % i }

I think it's funny .

To each his own. I find them fun, or thought-provoking. Some of the best
laughs I've had have been reading sig-lines on Slashdot posts.
