[lojban-beginners] Re: Alternative learning techniques

I've stated hacking the langwidge firefox throbber replacement to work with lojban. I wasn't happy with some of the ways the original programmer did things so I've learning more about xul than I intended and I already know enough javascript to know not to use it give the choice. So far I've got it referring to my web site and have developed a couple of "flash card options" in that you can choose one of the available word lists and a range of words to choose from. I've also learnt why the original programmer did somethings as strangely as he did; Some of the restrictions in firefox's security model have to be worked around.

This hasn't progressed very far as this is being done in what little free time I have and having not made myself familiar enough with lojban yet - one reason to take on this project - am starting to find my way around the language taking some added time. Having said that if anyone is interested I'll post a link to a working version and make the code available.

I happened across an article on using the Sims (computer game) to help people learn a foreign language (http://llt.msu.edu/vol9num1/purushotma/default.html) and was wondering if there were any alternative lojban resources

I've been using logflash for a while, but it's not terribly motivating...

A couple of years ago, during a previous attempt at learning lojban I toyed with the idea of creating lojban language files for alpha centauri - a little ambitious, but would have been very useful considering the inordinate amount of time i spent playing it.

Are there any lojban localised games/applications out there? Creating a localisation for firefox, for instance, should be fairly easy to do?

Also what about multimedia? I found a brief audio file on the website, but more of this would be really good to listen to during the daily commute

I know there was a conversation a while ago about lojban software for PDAs, but it didnt really go anywhere. Any developments in this area? I have a little vocab program that i've done and was thinking about maybe turning into a full logflash program for PDAs but don't want to duplicate something that has already been done
