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
