It has good days and bad days. Bear with me until I get a chance to buy a new one. I should be able to put the money people have donated towards it!

Hi resolve,
thanks for the great program!
I have one suggestion. I like how Anki automatically fills in the reading field and that it gives you all possible readings for a kanji. I think it could be even better if you wouldn't have to manually delete all the wrong readings but if you could click on the correct reading (like on a hyperlink) and all the other possible readings but this would be deleted.

For example you put "この中で..." for expression and it puts "この{なか|うち|じゅう|ちゅう|ちゅん|ぢゅう}で". Now you could click on なか and it would delete all the other readings.

I can definately live without this, the system is already great as it is, just saying it could be better. :-)

I suggested something like this a few pages back and resolve said that it would be reinventing the wheel.  There are already better tools out there that will apparently do the picking of a reading better.  I suspect that he has plans to use one of these instead of forcing the user to pick at all.  Knowing his dedication to his program, I am sure an answer is just around the corner.

I have been playing around with card models and I was wondering, are there any more "Special Features" besides Japanese, Reading source, and Reading destination.  For example, an auto-complete?

Seems like the server just went down.

Wow, since I first stumbled across Anki back in May its gotten so good.  Thanks Damien.

That first time, their was a problem with the web server configuration. All subsequent issues have just been due to the router dying, which is something I pick up on quickly. If neither the Anki website nor the tracker are online, it's highly likely it's the router.

The server code is not as tidy as the rest of Anki and thus I'm in no immediate hurry to release it. Of course, it is free software too, and if I ever decide to move to Papua New Guinea, it'll be after releasing the source :-)

Hi resolve,
Can you delete my deck which is on file online? I made that some time ago to test it out, and having just finished Heisigi, I plan to start using anki full time and want to start afresh.

Also, I noticed that Anki has had few updates since I last installed it. Under Xubuntu, how do I update Anki? Do I need to download it and install it again, as if from scratch?
Thanks

Hi resolve,
Sorry but could you walk me thru the update? It doesnt seem to be overwriting, but rather just creating a new 3.6 folder, and when I start anki I get version 3.3

I have anki installed in HOME

please give me more information. did you install it with a .deb file this time, or a previous time? how do you mean it's installed in home - did you actually untar it and run it with ~/anki-dir/anki ?

On a side note, how the heck to you get anki to work from a docomo phone? I　can get online and get the the login screen, but everytime I　try to login, I　just get kicked back to the login screen again, with no change. Do you know anything about that? I　was thinking to ask someone at the docomo store,,,

On the phone you need to use a different link.  The easiest thing to do is go to the website via a standard browser and log in.  Click on "more" then click on "phone".  After that fill in the form to mail the link to your docomo address.  Follow that link from your phone to use the site from your phone.

Hey Resolve

Step three I get this;
Installed /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ankiqt-0.3.6-py2.5.egg
Processing dependencies for ankiqt==0.3.6
Searching for anki>=0.3.6
Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/anki/
Couldn't retrieve index page for 'anki'
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/
No local packages or download links found for anki>=0.3.6
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('anki>=0.3.6')

Is this ok?
At step four, where do I "cd" to?

thanks

I've been playing around with the priorities when scheduling. Until now, Anki has used a pure deck order, apart from dividing old&new. What I've been trialing recently is the following:

- old before new
- failed before correctly answered (provided the requisite 10 minutes has passed)
- cards in the initial state before mature cards
- cards ordered within a group (failed, young, mature) by overdue time, so that the cards which have been waiting longest are given priority. this applies to 'new' cards too, so that the first time you see them, they'll be displayed in the order they were added. this may be a bad thing when you've just added cards and test, but it'll also ensure if you take a long time to work through the pile, cards won't get stuck in the new card list forever

a quick visual indiciation on an overdue deck:

delay in days, young?, failed?

11.8 True True
09.2 True True
00.0 True True
17.9 False True
11.8 False True
00.0 False True
37.7 True False
37.6 True False
37.5 True False
