Hello,

You may be aware that I'm quite into Mnemosyne - a great little app that I've used for years now that's great for memorising information quickly and effectively.

It's basically a flashcard system, but smarter. Based on your feedback as to how easy or hard cards are (and a pretty sophisticated algorithm based around something called phased repetition) it works out the bits you find difficult. So rather than wasting your time reviewing all the easy stuff you knew before you started, it quickly zeros in on the bits you're struggling with. It's annoyingly good at this.

For more info, check out my old thread on this where I painfully over-explain everything.

I'm attaching two files. The first is a .pdf telling you how to get started with Mnemosyne. Should be straightforward enough. The second is a text file that contains all the acronyms in easily importable tab-separated form (just follow the pdf guide). Have a look-see and give me some feedback on this.
The Guide (v1.1) >>> View attachment Using Mnemosyne.pdf
The flashcards >>> View attachment CompTIA Network+ Acronyms.txt

You should get 204 cards. These are ALL the acronyms listed in the official CompTIA Network + (2009) objectives. If CompTIA have made any mistakes they'll be in there. And I may have added a few of my own. Again, I welcome feedback.
Also do suggest anything else you think would be useful. Things that jump to my mind are: port numbers and special IP ranges (for IPv4 and IPv6).
Anything you want added, let me know.

If you love the whole idea of this, but aren't on to the Network+ yet and need this for the A+... I may have just the thread for you.

Thanks for all your effort, this is greatly appreciated!

 

You're more than welcome.

I rewrote that first post a bit better, and updated the guide to include a little on creating new cards. Mnemosyne's so easy to use it was barely worth writing!
Has anyone who'd never used it before tried it out yet?

It's totally underwhelming for the first few days, and doesn't feel worth the effort. But trust me, after a couple of weeks of real usage, it's uncannily good at popping up cards you're just on the cusp of forgetting. Just be very honest when you rate the cards; it'll do the rest.

 

Great thread, you should pin this mate.

 

Okay... Pinned it. Hope people find it useful.

 

Very nice - I'm going to try and get it running on my phone later - it would be perfect for revising on the bus/tube.

Thanks.

 

thank you!
