"Simple Expense Tracking with Google Docs" by eric

Hmmm… I dare say we already give way too much info to Google. They’ll never see any of my “expense tracking”.

As usual with Google, it seems like a good idea though! :(

I ran into a similar situation back in January... Mine was even trickier, though, since the production environment could stay up for a month before the bug would be triggered. Congrats on tracking it down.

I’ve looked into adding ido support into find-tag. It’s like a personal quest of mine to use ido for everything. It’s not trivial though. ido-completing-read is supposed to be a drop in replacement for completing-read but doesn’t in this case.

How weird. Giving you a hard time was completely out of line. If you bought it within 30 days, the CSR was supposed to give the credit immediately, no questions asked. Amazon’s price drop credit policy is very clear about that. I use it all the time, and it’s obvious they have the whole thing automated. Next time just go through the website. It takes less than a minute to submit, and the credit usually appears on your credit card just 2 or 3 days later. Amazon has never refused me a price drop credit, even though I routinely request 2 or 3 per week.

The whole executable naming mess is pretty crazy. I can’t figure out how to explicitly call the exuberant variant of ctags, but I’m trying it out for indexing my elisp with great success:

(defun my-generate-elisp-tags () (interactive) (shell-command “find ~/.emacs.d ~/src/emacs -name \\*el | xargs etags -o ~/.emacs.d/TAGS”))

Now if I could only get find-tag to use ido. Lazyweb?

Maybe it’s just that the CSR is not authorized to give refunds. She is simply doing what she’s been told to do.
