UsefulDuration

Finally - a useful way of measuring time in your applications.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'useful_duration'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install useful_duration

> require 'useful_duration'

> include UsefulDuration

> 10.in_a_gadda_da_vidas.ago
=> 2013-04-18 11:25:56 -0400

> 2.bravehearts.from_now
=> 2013-04-18 20:10:45 -0400

> 1.fortnight.from_now
=> 2013-07-21 08:47:37 -0400

This requires ActiveSupport to play nicely with ActiveSupport duration. It was written against 3.2.13 and hasn't been regression tested against other versions.
