Getting human readable relative times and dates from a unix timestamp?

Question

Starting with a unix timestamp like 1290529723, how would I (assuming gmt) get the information on whether it is:

• today (if so, what time)

• i

Answer 1

Convert it to an NSDate with:

+ (id)dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:(NSTimeInterval)seconds

Then compare to other dates with:

* – compare:
* – earlierDate:
* – isEqual: (NSObject protocol)
* – laterDate:
