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! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams rlad...@adamsinfoserv.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3 _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
