Hi, I have "include DRbUndumped" in one of my model classes. Whenever my app accesses the session I get the following: can''t dump /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:395:in `_dump'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/pstore.rb:349:in `dump'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/pstore.rb:327:in `transaction'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi/session/pstore.rb:90:in `update'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi/session/pstore.rb:97:in `close'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi/session.rb:330:in `close'...

I''m having a problem converting a date retrieved from my MySQL database and I''m hoping someone can help. MySQL stores the date/time as this: 2005-03-08 17:00:34.0 and according to my Pickaxe book Ruby stores times as "the number of seconds and microseconds since [...] January 1, 1970". All well and good. Unfortunately, RoR is converting my date to this:
