I am having trouble teaching ultra hal past dates, if I enter the following declarative: "Charles Messier was born on June 26, 1730", ultra hal returns: "Charles messier was born on Thursday, June 26, 2003 . I'll Remind you when this time is near. " how can I get hal to accept and remember past dates?
Unfortunetely, whenever Hal sees a date it always goes to the appointment function. I'll make sure that for the next version of Hal, version 5.0, if it says a date that occured in the past it will not call the appointment function.
thanks, it will be helpful to be able to have hal accept the dates as facts instead of appontments.
it would be cool if we say john was born on 11/11/1982, HAL would remind us that john's anniversary is on 11/11/2003
