[Rails] Re: Is this thing here a helper or a model, or something else?

If you haven't worked with the lib/ directory before, make sure you have

        config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)

in config/application.rb

Also, if you ever want to make yourself a gem, you could do something
like

# lib/acts_as_chunky_time

module ActsAsChunkyTime

  def self.included(class_thats_including_my_module)
    class_thats_including_my_module.extend ClassMethods
  end

  module ClassMethods
    def acts_as_chunky_time
      include ActsAsChunkyTime::InstanceMethods
    end
  end

  module InstanceMethods
    def set_start_time ...
    def set_end_time ...
    def get_time_blocks ...
  end
end

ActiveRecord::Base.send(:include, ActsAsChunkyTime)


# my_model.rb

class MyModel < AR::Base
  acts_as_chunky_time
end
