prtools svm on linux

the last few days I've been trying to get svm working with prtools. Prtools seems convenient, but I got an error that qld wasn't found and that it was using the matlab quadratic programming function instead. I found a forum where they have a download for the qld.c function. It was easy to compile with mex and it seems to be running much faster now. I don't know why they didn't include the .c file to begin with, but I figured it out anyway.... here's the link to the forum http://prsysdesign.net/index.php/forums/viewthread/22/

Granule for Leither cardfile methodology on linux

I started trying granule for keeping a flashcards so I can remember stuff better. I have a lot of reading for my two classes and for my research. So far I like it, though I haven't tried other programs. Granule http://granule.sourceforge.net/ is not too fancy. Figuring out the user interface was a tiny bit non-intuitive, but not too hard either. One thing that I had some trouble with was figuring out how to name a particular deck of cards. It turns out you have to do a "save as" to actually rename the deck.

I looked a little for other linux flash card programs but I couldn't find to many that looked robust (my criterion was for it to be in portage). I found some linux flashcards for reviewing linux commands : http://www.proprofs.com/flashcards/search.php?search=Linux

in the future, I'll post some of the flash card files I make.
