[TxMt] plist and the Ruby date object

[Brett Terpstra]

So, if 185328000 is a cocoa representation of the current date, how  
do I get the time added in there?  I honestly tried to figure this  
out and am stuck again...

I kind of understand this part:

def to_cocoa_date(date)
   ((date - Date.new(2001, 1, 1)+1)* 3600 * 24).to_i
end

date = Date.today

But I don't know what formula to run on Time.now to get the same result.

Thanks,
Brett
