I am using [Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.](http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/) for my date  
time picker.  
I am using dd.mm.yyyy format (:finnish)

and i am using

ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions:📅:Conversions::DATE\_FORMATS.merge!  
(:default =\> “%d.%m.%Y”)  
ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE\_FORMATS.merge!  
(:default =\> “%d.%m.%Y %H:%M”)

in my enviroment. Everything is working fine on my machine. However  
when I deploy on heroku day and month switch places so : 12.01.2009  
becomes 01.12.2009 and then 12.01.2009 again (after another click).  
Basicly if I have “wrong” date for example 25.05.2009 it breaks and if  
i get “viable” date it gets written to DB with day and month switched.

I lost over 7 hours on this, and it is driving me mad… PLEASE  
HELP 🙂 This was exactly thing that I feared most when I decided to  
learn RAILS. (Loosing time on simle stuff)

Only clues that I have are - heroku has 1.8.6 ruby, and i have 1.9  
ruby. Heroku OS culture is maybe different?

p.s. I am using exactly “mine” version of calendardateselect control  
since heroku does not have it install (rake gems:unpack)
