Useful gem list of 2011/03/27
timeliness: “Fast date/time parser with customisable formats, timezone and I18n support.” Not only does it realize the difference between US(mm-dd-yyyy) and Euro(yyyy-mm-dd) formats, it allows for easy overriding, with simple text strings instead of strftime tokens.
reckon: “automagically converts CSV files for use with the command-line accounting tool Ledger.” A decent Ledger converter is great in and of itself, but reckon can also guess account names if you feed it a previous ledger file.
Additionally, if you write a Ruby command-line tool and haven’t been using trollop, this is your warning to change your wicked ways.
