Tom Preston-Werner demonstrates his Chronic "natural date parsing" library for Ruby in this cool, live presentation / screencast. He goes deep into how the library works and how it parses the natural language inputs.

Would be schweet if you could do business days:
Chronic.parse("5 business days from now")
or
Chronic.parse("3 weekdays from tuesday")
Is a great library. Thx!

The latest version of 'ruby-units' will also use 'chronic' to parse dates and times, so you can do stuff like..
'7 days'.from 'next tuesday'
