Once in a while it helps to log the messages an object gets. I usually use this trick:

require 'pp'
class LogProxy
  def initialize(object)
    @object = object
  end

  def method_missing(sym, *args, &block)
    pp [args, block]
    @object.send(sym, *args, &block)
  end
end

I then wrap my object to be logged and watch the command line. It's a simple trick, but often helps me debug object protocols.
