DateTime – How do I get the current date and time in Yahoo Pipe?

Is there a way to get the current date and time in Yahoo Pipes?

I need this to create a pipeline with only the latest questions from SO, because I don’t want to wait for the SO team to implement RSS for this…

The Date Builder module converts a
text string into a datetime value. You
can pick a date using the handy< br> built-in calendar widget, enter a text
string into the module’s entry field,
or wire a string into it from another
module, like the Text Input module.

Date Builder understands all the date
formats as Date Input, formats like
“tomorrow” and “3 days ago”, as well
as “07/04/2007” and “16:32 EST”.

This module is useful when you need to
extract items from a feed by date. In
this example, we’ll use the US CERT
computer security Atom feed. This feed
provides information on computer
vulnerabilities reported in the last
few months.
In our example, we
want to return only very recent items,
problems reported in the last five< br> days.
