Well, I don't know how useful any of you might find this, but a number of us
are still in school, anyway.  I've written a little memorization program
that I've used at various times to help me learn Spanish or Slovenian vocab
and to memorize scriptures.  It could potentially be used for any time you
have to memorize something, like dates for a civ class, or whatever you
want.  The basic idea is that it's like flash cards on a computer, but it
uses an algorithm to decide which cards need to be reviewed, and keeps track
of that for you.  I recently added some features I thought made it a lot
more usable when you have hundreds of words or scriptures in the program, so
I thought other people might benefit from it.  I don't know if something
like this already exists for free; if it does, well, I had fun anyway.

Anyway, if you're interested, the code is in a git repository.  You can get
to it with this command:

git clone git://aml.cs.byu.edu/memorizing.git

You run the program by running run.sh from the main directory of the
repository.

I'm open to any kind of constructive feedback.

Happy hacking!
