I have been using the Logflash program from 17th
June until 25th September up to the end of Gaining Control Mode. I used
the program pretty much daily, averaging about 45 minutes to an hour a day
throughout this period of 101 days. I therefore estimate that I have
spent perhaps 76 to 101 hours using Logflash. When I started
out learning the Lojban gismu I set myself two targets: firstly
to achieve 50% recognition and recall within 3 months, and then to achieve 90%
recognition and recall within 6 months. I tested myself on 17th September,
by which time I had completed the New Words mode and was more than half way
through the Gaining Control Mode. I scored 57% on recognition and 53% on
recall, with no special preparation other than the Logflash work I had been
doing anyway.
Bob implied I think that the Under Control phase
under Gaining Control mode were a kind of ongoing test of overall progress
(apologies if this is not the case). However I didn't get that impression
while doing the work, as it seemed to me that the gismu given for recall in
the Under Control phase were mostly from the most recent sessions,
with only a handful from further back. So although I was regularly
remembering 80% plus of the Under Control words, I think this gave a
somewhat inflated impression of my real ability, as the test on 17th
September indicated.
I have stopped using Logflash now, at least for the
time being, as I want to try other ways of consolidating the vocabulary, partly
by actively using the language, and also learning the gismu by topic using
the thesaurus file worked out by Yevgeni Sklyanin. In any case I will
send the log files to Bob if they are useful.

If anyone else has used LogFlash extensively (ideally having gone through
all the new words and preferably up to maintenance mode) and has not sent
me logs, the files are need are the two files labelled ".fl1" with your
name in the filename. Thorough analysis of the logs takes a while
including a software program that I don't remember how to use right now,
but the above numbers came from a quick scan (since I have a pretty good
idea what to look for).
