+How do you upload your own script onto the sb consoles?
+-------------------------------------------------------
+Write the script in your favorite way. Then if you're on a windows box, use any sftp compatible client to upload it to
+your home dir on gateway (thus your home on console). If you're on a linux box: type 
+'scp your_new_script.rb username@gateway.orbit-lab.org:folder/you/want/it/to/go/into'
+
+Do I  need to compile the code (or prepare it in any way) before uploading it on the console?
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+No, Ruby scripts are interpreted by nodehandler. You do not need to compile the script.
+One way to check for syntax is to use the nodehandler flag -n i.e
+nodehandler -n <script_name>
+
+This will run the script in debug mode and tell you if there are any syntax errors
