A good friend uses a pen-and-paper journal as he's working, or presenting, to remember those off-the-cuff things you make up on the spot and depend on your short-term memory to recall, as his doesn't work that way. He explained it to the audience once, and asked if people knew the difference between short-term and long-term memory. After a moment, he recited, "Here's the story of a lovely lady,..." Everyone laughed. Yeah, I could probably remember something useful if I could just get all those earworms out of my head!!! > We are all too busy learning things from *you*. (Assuming the "I'm not > worthy" stance.) Oh, PUH-leez. I had to do a little VFP app recently for a project in another language, and my partner was amazed at how much I'd forgotten. VFP is unique in many of its UI maneuvers (shift--click, lasso, shift-cursor key movements) and terminology, since few products had the fine granular control it did, the VFP team had to make up a lot of the terminology. Working mostly in HTML5/CSS3/PHP/Ruby/Postgres for last decade, it's tougher to remember all the quirks.
