When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

It's a common misconception that [William Shakespeare][1] and [Miguel de Cervantes][2] died on the same day in history - so much so that UNESCO named April 23 as [World Book Day because of this fact][3]. However because England hadn't yet adopted [Gregorian Calendar Reform][4] (and wouldn't until [1752][5]) their deaths are actually 10 days apart. Since Ruby's Time class implements a [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] and has no concept of calendar reform then there's no way to express this. This is where DateTime steps in:

>> shakespeare = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)
=> Tue, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
>> cervantes = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ITALY)
=> Sat, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000

Getting started with Meshnet

This document is for people who want to help but have no technical knowledge. It assumes you won't be getting involved in squabbles over which relay technology to use, etc.

Step 1: Set up CJDNS

One of the few things widely agreed upon at the time of this writing is the use of CJDNS. Currently Windows is not supported, but if you have Linux or can run Linux in a virtual machine, you can follow the step-by-step instructions lower on that page to install and start up an instance of CJDNS on your system. If you're using Ubuntu 11.10 (latest version), you can follow these simplified instructions.

One thing you should know is cjdns currently isn't a wireless meshnet. A physical meshnet consisting of nodes geographically close to each other is a long way off. Instead, cjdns offers a "mixnet"-like system. cjdns is routable over the current Internet, so this means right now its like a giant VPN (virtu
