This is the second of Daniels talks, at least out of those that I heard. In this one Daniel talks about parsing through natural language to get computer readable time patterns. Basically taking something like “July third from 3 to 5 AM and Aug 12th at 3PM” and translating them into something your computer can read. Very awesome. He was also kind enough to share his Ruby implementation on github.
