And don't forget public nit-picking, humiliation, and beratement. ;-)
15 minutes, including looking up the documentation for regexp stuff I
wasn't sure about and testing and rewriting and blowing my nose and
getting a drink of water. (Ruby)
def secondize(str)
while str =~ /((\d+):)?(\d+):([\d.]+)/
s = $4.to_f
s += $3.to_i*60
s += $2.to_i*60*60 if $2
str = "#{$`}#{s}#{$'}"
end
str
end
# tests
['8:12','10:12:33', '5 + 3*6:50', '8 / 13*15:32:20.4 - 10'].each do |e|
puts "#{e} -> #{secondize(e)}"
end

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
