I have a list of datetimes and i need to perform count on it.
Only count as 1 if the current and previous time gap >=30 mins

Sample data:
9/8/2010 8:04:28 AM
9/8/2010 8:09:42 AM
9/8/2010 8:11:17 AM
9/8/2010 8:12:13 AM
9/8/2010 9:11:12 AM
9/8/2010 4:05:57 AM

What i need to do:
DateTime. Count. Logic
9/8/2010 8:04:28 AM Yes. 1st occurrence
9/8/2010 8:09:42 AM. No
9/8/2010 8:11:17 AM. No
9/8/2010 8:12:13 AM. No
9/8/2010 9:11:12 AM. Yes. Compare with 9/8/2010 8:04:28 AM
9/8/2010 4:05:57 AM. Yes. Compare with 9/8/2010 9:11:12 AM.
