i want to parse and trim a log file. the date format log file looks like:
 26 Jan 23:19:26 2004

to get the time in a format i can use i did

t1=Time.parse("26 Jan 23:19:26 2004") #string expanded for example
t2=Time.now

i'm want to compare the current date/time with the parsed one from the log.
if the line is older than x number of days it will be ignored.

unfortunately i'm still relatively new a ruby and the 'principle of 
least suprise' hit me about a dozen times...with suprises :/ 
i'm used to perl's magic. so i'm here for guideance...
