Ruby on Rails

Yep, since ice_cube is made for occurrences and not durations - you'd
have to store these separately. I'm working with a branch now that
will support end_times for rules, so you could call occurring_at?
(Time.now) on a rule and see if it occurs anywhere in the duration.

I'll have this ready in the next few days
Thanks,
John C
