Implementing delegate methods is done the same way you would do it in  
Objective-C. Example:

     browser = NSNetServiceBrowser.new

     delegate = Object.new
     def delegate.netServiceBrowserWillSearch(browser)
       puts "search commencing!"
     end
     def delegate.netServiceBrowser(browser, didNotSearch:errorInfo)
       puts "search not successful: #{errorInfo}"
     end
     browser.delegate = delegate

     browser.searchForBrowsableDomain,

You could also implement the delegate methods in a separate class and  
pass a new instance of that class to the setDelegate: method  
(available as #delegate= too) of the net service browser object.

Creating Objective-C selectors from MacRuby is discussed in the  
"Defining Methods" section of the tutorial:
