Hey All, Anyone know of a library for parsing "human" dates, like "this friday" or "2 days ago"? I used to use strtotime in php, but starting from here; http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/PhpStrtotime and doing lots of googling, I haven''t been able to find anything similar for ruby.

Heya everyone! I am quite new to Rails and I am reading AWDwR. I am at Task E "Check Out!". I understand it quite well, but I have a problem with the last playground exercise: Add a Table which contains the payment types.

Hi all - I need to do an overlay with something that supports ajax/remote html. There''s lots of options and quite a few rails plugins. Some seem out of date however.
