John,
That was *fast*. I'll look into moving some of my notes into this.
What do you think regarding the initial setup of "spaced" interval?
Were there a file full of tidbits to digest this way, a way to
pseudo-random scatter them across a few weeks might be useful.
Now I've got to remember my git commands to checkout the latest. ;]
Thanks.
PS. Next time I'll bring my gaming HD and we'll LAN party!
