Cataloging Learning
A very random thought occured to me walking down the street today. It’s inane and most probably useless, but anyway.
There are three types of learning for me.
Learning :: The New
This is the largest cloud by far. In the last year, my new learning has sky-rocketed. I hope it continues.
Learning :: The Old
This is stuff I’ve come across before, but has dimmed in my memory. It’s there, and will come back with a certain level of prodding. I guess this is a sliding scale. If something hasn’t been used in a long while, then it might take more rehashing to get up to speed.
Learning :: The Existing
What I’m working on right now. It’s fresh in my brain, and exciting usually.

Reading this short little post, I suspect anyone reading might be questioning my sanity. Learning is learning. That’s right I suppose. But sometimes exploring a random thought isn’t a bad thing.
Anyway, back to the new, the old, and the existing.
I prefer to empty my brain at the end of each day - and load information as needed in my global database - the internet!
Also Homer’s lament (not the smart one) “Everytime I learn something new it pushes something old out of my brain!”

Ha ha.
“Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?”
Ha ha … funny stuff.

Of course you are the Simpsons expert - why don’t we have a poll/comp. on the site to vote for the 10 best Simpsons quotes?

Also the site needs a forum - how hard can it be? Open Source forum s/w, PHP and MySQL. I’ve just finished doing a professional one for Qantas so I can help.

Ha ha. I deliberately avoided a forum, for the first while anyways. Start small, and build from there.
