Explicitly setting a reference date

require 'rubygems'
require 'beginning_of_fortnight'

now = Time.now

# Globally define fortnights such that this date is the first half of a fortnight
ref_date = Time.parse('13-Oct-2010')
BeginningOfFortnight.reference_date = ref_date

puts now.beginning_of_fortnight # uses ref_date

# Change your mind...
BeginningOfFortnight.reference_date = Time.parse('20-Oct-2010')
puts now.beginning_of_fortnight # should be different

# You can also pass in a single use reference date if you want to mix it up
other_ref_date = Time.parse('27-Oct-2010')
puts now.beginning_of_fortnight(other_ref_date)
