in fact, hold on... crypt is a hashing function, you can't decrypt it.
but how then would i go about to check if a token had expired?

assuming i get something like "mdIdT8MGyu.z2" there is no way to
figure out if the timestamp stored is less than (earlier than) a given
timestamp...

this won't cut it, i am afraid (unless i am overseeing the trivial, as
usual)...

thanks though andrew!
