Hello,

Could you not cheat with the clock of your computer ?

Say :
- you backup your ".mnemosyne" folder !
- you leave on day 1
- you return on day 11
- you change your computer clock : day 11 becomes day 2
- you launch mnemosyne
- you learn whatever number of cards you want/can; say 500, 600, ...
- next day, you say it's day 4 (you've got to gradullay regain clock-
days), you launch mnemosyne
- next day, you say it's day 6, you launch mnemosyne
- and you repeat method this the following days, until you digest the
cards, and until the clock of your computer tells the right date

It should be wise to test if this really can work (or ask Peter ^^).
