Shades of Agenda

David Buck has open sourced (is that a verb?) a date parser in Smalltalk that could come in handy in an Agenda-like capability to cull dates out of free-form or semi-structured text. 

  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'today'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'tomorrow'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'yesterday'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'last week'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'next week'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'friday'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'next friday'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'last friday'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'Jan 3, 2004'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: 'January 3, 2004'
  DateStringCompiler readFrom: '12/25/2005'
