Re: Oops, where did GetCurrentFact go?

Sorry, forgot to copy the list.
Also i'll correct myself - i don't remember what was i thinking when i
dropped GetCurrentFact, but i certainly was thinking something. Maybe
something about "there are too many dbus methods now out there, some
can be skipped as trivial to figure" or something. Or maybe the
short-cut seemed to be too small to provide an extra method.
Well, in case i was wrong, next six month will show that and i'll put
the method back for the stable.

I also wonder if this is relevant to your interests:
http://github.com/tbaugis/hamster_experiments/blob/master/hamster_tracks.py

To run a hamster experiment, just check out the whole thing and run
specific script (as in `python hamster_tracks.py`)
