+# BlockCache
+
+by Matthew Scharley  
+http://github.com/mscharley/ruby-blockcache
+
+## Overview
+
+> In computer science, a cache is a component that improves performance 
+> by transparently storing data such that future requests for that 
+> data can be served faster.
+>
+> -- [Cache at Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache)
+
+Typical caches do this by allowing you to store data in them, along with
+a time limit to describe how long this data is valid for. You then need
+to check if the data is available, and if not, regenerate it and store
+it again, ready for next time.
+
+BlockCache eliminates all this. You define your cache, describe the
+elements it contains, and then you never have to worry about making
+sure you have fresh data again. Of course, if you need to ensure that
+you are getting clean, uncached data, you can do that too.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+    require 'blockcache'
+    
+    cache = BlockCache.new
+    cache.add('name', 10) do
+      puts "Hello, what is your name?"
+      STDIN.gets.strip
+    end
+    
+    for i in [1,2]
+      for j in [1,3]
+        puts "Hello " + cache['name'] + "!"
+      end
+      cache.refresh
+    end
+
+In the example above, you get asked for your name, then it says 
+hello to you three times. Note, each time is using the exact same
+code. The program then tells the cache that it wants fresh data,
+and repeats the process.

+# This is a class used to cache data from the repository, so that it 
+# needn't be queried over and over. Use a timeout of a few seconds to
+# prevent repeated queries in the same operation, but preserve the 
+# ability to retrieve up to date data.
+#
+# You can call #refresh to reset all the timeouts manually if you
+# need to guarantee fresh data
+#
+# Example usage:
+#
+# def cache
+#   @cache ||= begin
+#     c = BlockCache.new
+#     c.add("test", 10) { "Hello world!" }
+#     # This block always returns the same thing, so never refresh it
