Methods for dealing with Unix times are in the Time class, rather than
the Date class.

irb> time = Time.at(1262222200)
=> 2009-12-30 20:16:40 -0500
irb> time.to_i
=> 1262222200
irb> time = Time.new(2010, 12, 31)
=> 2010-12-31 00:00:00 -0500
irb> time.to_i
=> 1293771600

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any good way to convert from
Date to Time, other than
Time.new(date_object.to_s).

These might help?

Date#jd gives you the Julian Day Number of a date,
and the Julian Day Number of 1970-01-01 (Gregorian) is 2440588,
so you can do things like the following.
There is also the DateTime class, which I have not used until this post.
“Date” also adds Time#to_date and Time#to_datetime, but I haven’t tried
those.

IRB in Ruby 1.9.1

require “date”
biaozun = Date.new( 1970, 1, 1 ) #=> #<Date: 1970-01-01 …>
duration_secs = 1_262_222_200 #=> 1262222200
duration_days_rational = duration_secs.quo( 86400 ) #=> (6311111/432)
duration_days_integer = duration_secs.div( 86400 ) #=> 14609
duration_days_integer2 = duration_secs / 86400 #=> 14609
date2 = biaozun + duration_days_integer #=> #<Date: 2009-12-31 …>
exit
unix_date_zero_jd = biaozun.jd #=> 2440588

d2jd = date2.jd #=> 2455197
dur2_secs = (d2jd - 2440588) * 86400 #=> 1262217600
ut = Time.at( dur2_secs ) #=> 2009-12-31 00:00:00 +0000

dt = DateTime.new( 2010, 12, 31, 13, 42 )
#=> #<DateTime: 2010-12-31T13:42:00+00:00 …>

t = dt.to_time #=> 2010-12-31 13:42:00 +0000
t2 = date2.to_time #=> 2009-12-31 00:00:00 +0000

in my irb,
pt@pt:~$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [i686-linux]
pt@pt:~$ irb
irb(main):001:0> time = Time.new(2010, 12, 31)
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 0)
from (irb):1:in initialize' from (irb):1:innew’
from (irb):1
from :0

it’s wrong for the expression: Time.new(2010, 12, 31)
