yorkii,
Yeah, I'm sold on Stackz. I've been playing with the demo version and it is pretty slick. I tried using Super Memo, but it was impossible.

I was just wondering if you like the way Stackz handles the cards you get right/wrong or do you like the Lietner system

i use the lietner system in stackz. i didnt even bother trying the "stackz" system, i use the lietner system here on this website and with mnemosyne so i just thought, "why fix something if its not broken". i'm sticking with Mr. Lietner to tell me when to study stuff

If anyone wants advice about how to use Supermemo then I'm happy to give it. It can be pretty frustrating to begin with.

It uses the same kind of grading system, but it has a less intricate algorithm for calculating the optimal repetition interval than the current version of SuperMemo. It's still under development, but works well enough now.

Entering all the flash cards is a bit of a bother though, but I guess it's the same as with any other flash card program.

You can just import the data from a text file, which you can download.

hey yorki, can you help me out, i too bought stacks for the pda and tried registring for the forum there but still waiting for authorisation. Can tell me if its possible to view only the cards that have expired and need testing in stackz. For example when i select the 3rd column box it will have cards which have expired (bright orange) and cards which were tested recently (some other colour). When i select test though it tests me all the cards, not just the orange ones but the ones i may have reviewed just yesterday. Thats no good for me.

Also is there someway to tell it to save the file automatically...im fed up of forgetting to select save then return home to find that the pda ran out of juice and ive lost that days learning.

i run it on my PC.

it shows you all the "too review" (orange) cards first though right. just stop reviewing when you hit a black (or other coloured) card. thats what I do anyway.

as for the auto save thing, I'm not sure. I always have to hit the save button too. with the PC version, when i try to leave the program without saving, it prompts me to save. (YES // NO dialogue)

hmm when im on the pda version and testing myself on the cards it doesnt show you what color the current card is. I have to switch to a different view mode so you can imagaine constantly switching back and forth between views to be annoying. I dont know why they just made a view mode to accomplish this.

I just rewrote my tutorial on how to get Mnemosyne installed on OS X. I recently did a complete erase and install on my computer and I had to reinstall mnemosyne. People seemed to be having issues with the old instructions so I decided to completely rewrite them using the new version of Mnemosyne (0.9.8.1).

The nice thing is that it now no longer requires X11 to run so it feels more native to OSX, I think this is because of PyGame. Anyway, I published the tutorial here: http://snozle.com/2007/05/20/installing-...-revisited. Please let me know if it works for you by posting in the comments.
