# I've been playing around with Sinatra for a short while.
# I had heard that it was possible to maintain things like
# persistent database connections, etc. I became curious if
# it would be possible to share a variable between clients
# accessing my Sinatra app. I was especially interested in
# how this interacted and differed from the sessions variable
# available with enable :sessions and I like to poke around
# in things. I've been told that I should never attempt to
# use a global-like variable in rack/rails/sinatra and while
# it may be a very bad way to do things, it may still have
