Apparently I'm pretty good, or so Nick says.  8)

I love it.  I have a vocab of about 400 words, which I attribute
entirely to the emacs flashcard program which I will post soon.

See above.  LogFlash is the other one.  The advantage with it is when
you're done, you know _all_ the words in a fairly indelible fashion.
The disadvantage is that it takes ages before you know any of them,
because it gives you them all at once.  Not what I want.

Nick's lessons rock.
http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/lojbanbrochure/lessons/

I will hopefully be getting control of lojban.org shortly, and then
updates Will Happen.

Oh yes, my pretties, they Will Happen.  <cackle>
