The time-management functions that are included in Ruby are excellent.

Just do

require 'time'

and then

t=Time::parse(remote_date+' '+remote_time)

You will have a Time object (do ri Time to know more), on which you
can do arithmetic. Basically, if you subtract a time from another, you
will obtain the difference in seconds.
