I thought I could do some studying\/refreshing on boat related stuff and learn something computer at the same time. For now I will start with a plugin called <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/slickquiz\/\">SlickQuiz<\/a>. I like <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/watu\/\">Watu<\/a> but the free version doesn&#8217;t give me randomization options and I am not forking out $75 bucks for what is essentially a one person project. The plan is to enter a whole bunch of questions from basic boat terminology to light and sound signals. I will then just break them into 10 question quick-quizzes and hopefully use them like digital flash cards to try and get some of the more esoteric stuff to stick. The entry interface to SlickQuiz sucks so I will start by building a database for question entry and then export the output to an xml file that I will import via phpmyadmin directly into the wp databases<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Must either delete the records first or change the id.
