| It struck me that the format of the redsnake board mirrored what I've been reading about "How the Mind Works". We have a longterm memory organized along strings (topics in a database) that we access to "remember" information that is pertinent to the current goal we're working on. And we have a "current" (shortterm memory) board where different parallel processes in our brain post results from whatever they find pertinent to the current goal we're working on. The shortterm memory board is erased continuously and the longterm database stays. I always found redsnake's organization with the database (longterm memory) and shortterm memory on the current message board very intuitive and appealing. Right now, our longterm memory database in on Redsnake and our shortterm memory current topic board is here. Is it possible to write a program that deletes stuff from this "current" board that is more than say 1 week old? TJHombre, Regards, |
