Hi,

It depends on the local sunrise and sunset and there's a way to calculate it
if you live in a place where sun doesn't set (Like Scandinavia during the
summer for example).

I don't know of any ruby script but you have 2 options:
1) Scrap a website.
2) Check ITL C code and port it to ruby or create ruby bindings for it if possible.

Cheers,

Hi,

thanks for your reply!

Here's the full thread over at the ruby-talk mailinglist: http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-google/browse_thread/thread/4861245241f96868/d796d85a01513930?lnk=gst&q=prayer+times#d796d85a01513930

Maybe I could reuse some of the code from the Jewish pastie in the first post. I'm not sure though, I'm not that knowledgeable. I just really, really want this technology ;)
