[lojban] Re: Lojban Class at Rice University

[djandus <jandew@gmail.com>]

Well, I won't be able to really schedule any event like that until the
weekend, and then I could probably have a few somewhere between this
Saturday and Tuesday of next week. Of all that time, I can guarantee
that I want to talk about this Saturday, if possible. (I happen to be
in the hell week of Rice University right now...)

Until then, though, I'm curious how all that works best -- does voice
chat require one-on-one? It is best if I can schedule some time,
right?

I throwing out emailing me as a way to allow me to recognize lojban
nicks and already get a basis of things to discuss when I do have the
time for live conversation. (For the former, I merely have this
mailing list, and for the latter, I have only what questions I think
of, not any of the pedagogy many of you have already thought of.)
Given, having a basis of topics doesn't /have/ to be created until the
time of conversation, but I tend to overthink things, so...
('Course, people who have already read this would keep an eye out for
my nick, now that I think about it, so I guess neither of those ideas
were particularly necessary...)

Also, I have this problem that even though I really shouldn't spend
too much time thinking about Lojban this week, I still end up spending
time on it at random, odd hours as I suddenly nerd snipe myself with
some idea. I figured moments like that are more suited for email,
since I could satiate the snipe by sending an email while restricting
myself to one email. (I tend to want to spend way too much time on the
IRC, when I do...)

Also also, for bit about flashcard programs, I was mainly curious if
anyone had ideas for the statistics. In other words, if I see myself
as being the only one interested in those, then I'd just have everyone
send the data to me directly; if others want it, then it could be
conglomerated onto lojban.org in some way, methinks. Also, I am a
little curious what ideas people might have for using the data.
I was planning on using Anki for such a task.
