Hello, all...
As a space enthusiast (especially Mars) and as a Ruby programmer, I have taken an interest in Martian calendars and clocks. Here (attached) is an article I wrote (basically for a non-technical audience) on "my" Martian calendar, the Martian Common Era calendar. I am perhaps 95% finished with a Ruby library called MarsDate that will handle Martian dates and times (and interconvert with Earthly dates/times). Comments are welcome on this article. And if anyone out there is a Ruby programmer, or even a programmer in general, I'd love to have some opinions or even assistance on this library. Thanks! Hal Fulton
