Title: Ruby Engineer Position Coding Challenge

Hey there,

This is my submission for LivingSocial's coding challenge. Inside the data-import directory, you will find a README written in Markdown that details how to get the application up and running. You will find the submission is fairly barebones and the tests that are included are testing only the business logic that was requested.

I had a bit of fun doing some metaprogramming with the lib/text_importer.rb file and I hope that enthusiasm comes through in the code.

Also, one last thing, I would love to have the opportunity to do a few things. If everything is to your liking and you're interested in moving forward or just a bit more curious about my work style, I invite you to either: ask me to implement Authorization/Authentication or error accumulation and reporting on the TextImporter as though this were a code review and those things were desired (I'd like to see how that process is normally handled in your workflows), OR, I invite you to do one of the above features as a pair programming exercise so we could explore how that dynamic might occur in the future and you would get an even better sense of my work style.

Regards,
