screensaver from Mnemosyne data
Hi all,
I just know this one's going to be way beyond me but I'll ask it as someone may be able to give me a pointer and I'm fairly sure (for once) that it doesn't exist already (please tell me if I'm wrong!)
There's an excellent program for learning things called Mnemosyne, which basically helps you to bang info into your head quite quickly. I think it'd help the process though, if I could figure out a way to display the data in question/answer form in a screensaver.
I'm looking at it from the point of view of, well, admittedly me, I have several computers scattered around my house, and I would like them to get me to think the things I want to be thinking about rather than the adverts on telly, (which I don't own) it's the same principle as adverts, think of it as positive advertising! Display/broadcast the information you want to know about to yourself as opposed to buy a new car/perfume/beer/whatever. If even some of it goes in, it's worth the effort :O)
Maybe someone here is familiar with it, and can give me a pointer as to how I can make this happen, It would probably work best if it displayed the questions/answers with the same regularity or priority with which Mnemosyne does.
I am no expert (BIG understatement) with programming, but this matters to me, and I think it will really help a lot of people fix things in their memory, so if I have to learn a lot more things on the way, well, fine, bring it on, but I will probably need a fair bit of hand holding.
If you know your stuff, and even better, think it might be a good idea, your thoughts please :O)
cheers dave
