this might help...

What is alib? 

ara's lib ;-)  it's a holding place for all the utility methods i don't end up
putting anywhere else.  i also have inlined some small, but very useful code
developed by other people like satoru takabayashi's bsearch code for built-in
arrays.  it's a mix of useful stuff like

  - Util : lot's of time/string/process/filesystem/tmpdir-file/hash
    manipulation routines

  - Main : utilities for whipping out simple and configurable (via yaml file)
    main programs that support usage, logging, command line and option parsing
    in seconds

  - Bsearch : bsearch support for arrays

  - OrderedHash : name says it all

basically it's my personal stash of stuff i can't live without.  get it here

  http://codeforpeople.com/lib/ruby/alib/


I think it depends on whenther I can get both times into the same form. 

to form those methods use is iso-8601 - should be a peice of cake.

cheers.
