Date::new() returns Julian day 0, which is Mon, 01 Jan -4712 to_time() is a CoreExtensions method which uses Time::utc_time() -> Time::time_with_datetime_fallback() from CoreExtensions to generate the Time object. From the documentation: Returns a new Time if requested year can be accommodated by Ruby‘s Time class (i.e., if year is within either 1970..2038 or 1902..2038, depending on system architecture); otherwise returns a DateTime Because the year is out of range, you'll get a DateTime back, which you can't call to_i on. This is actually quite silly, when you think about it. -Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
