Factoids

Recently i got the idea of scribbling down all the things i learn a day. I firmly believe that life long learning is important and i also believe that we will learn anyway. Mostly we collect all kind of factoids within a week or so. Most of them drop out of our memory within a week to a month.

So last friday, when i got home i recited a short list to me what i learned and it was surprisingly long, about 30 single items. Granted, i counted also small things like learning a new shortcut in vim - but still.

I am still unsure where and how to store the factoids. Naturally i coud spam my blog with this on a regular basis but that would block all future things that could be done, like questionnaires so you can check yourself if you remember what you entered a month ago, thusly refreshing and training it.

For me a natural way to do this would be a (2.0ish) website where other people could do the same and the can check each other’s factoids. Maybe this would be a good django training.
