Hal - Bug with appointments

[tjchan]

I told a fresh installed first time use Hal:

"I have a chemistry quiz on April 2, 2003 at noon."

or

"I have a chemistry quiz on April 2, 2003 at 12:00pm."

And no matter what, it keeps saying that it's at 12:00am.

Any solutions to this?

Thank you,

This is a known bug that will be fixed in Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0.

This bug only occurs though, if it is the first entry in the appointment book data file. If you have other entries in the appointment book, it should work ok. For example if you first say "I have an appointment in 2 days at 1:00 pm" and then say "I have a chemistry quiz on April 2, 2003 at noon." it will work.

This is the only current workaround that I know of. I appologize for the bug, it will be fixed in Hal 5.0.

BTW, is there any way to correct Hal's grammer from what she has learned?

Just curious.

Thanks again!
