Factoid surprise
Posted on January 4th, 2004 by Sacha Chua
Looks like my bot implants are working. Remember that hack I added to ../emacs/bbdb-config.el to let me hippie-expand factoids? Earlier in #linuxhelp, a newbie asked about executing files. I wrote a really long factoid under the name "executing" and another one under "chmod". I wanted to use it in channel, so I addressed the newbie, typed "execute" and hit M-/ - whereupon the thing hippie-expanded to a nice, long factoid. I didn't mind it until I glanced at my scrollback and went, like, "I don't remember typing that recently." A quick look at the minibuffer history later, I discovered I'd had an old factoid lying around my .bbdb - and it was better-written, too! Neato.
