Experiment's start_time can be incorrectly stored and parsed.

[joeroot]

At present, an experiment's start_time date is stored as a string. This causes problems for those who use Rails' TimeFormat, and thus have a different default Time string.

I'd suggest that this is either standardised using Time.now.strftime(...) and Time.strptime(...), or better, just use a UNIX timestamp, i.e. Time.now.to_i and Time.at(i).

I'd be more than happy to fork and handle this over the weekend?

Yeah sounds good, related to #75 and #170 I believe.

Fixed with #177
