Well I'm testing out a new layout that will categorize things better, and also a practice test feature similar to the actual Bible Bee test, where you have an hour to answer 200 questions selected randomly out of a pool that will have at least 1000 questions in it by the end of July. So one can take almost an unlimited number of practice tests without the same questions over again. Not sure if I will be able to get to work, though, but it's a fun project that will be of immense use to BBers if I succeed.

Hello?

Sounds like a good idea. Where are you going to get all those questions?
Rachelle
I'm fine, but lately my insomnia has returned. Just tired. Guess what?
ZachB

Using Quizlet's export data to import my flashcard sets into a database from which the system would draw questions.
Rachelle
This probably doesn't interest you boys, but I donated a foot of my hair to Wigs for Kids. :D

What?
Joshua S
I guess I took too long to write "what."
Rachelle
The above message. :P :)

That's nice of you.

Quizlet has an API for doing that?
Rachelle
brb… I hope
Joshua S
brb... I hope
What does "brb" mean?
Joshua S
I going to assume it means "be right back."
ZachB
Quizlet has an API for doing that?
They do, but I won't be using that. They have an export feature though, and that's what I plan on utilizing.

I guess you won't have to worry about creating any databases or files for storing the questions since they'll be on Quizlet servers.
ZachB
The data is on there, but I will be putting it into a database on my website to avoid cross domain issues.
Rachelle
I'm back. Sorry about that. I had to bring in/hangout the laundry.
Joshua S
Welcome back.

Okay. I noticed some links on your website don't go directly to the linked page but go through your website first. Why did you do it that way?
ZachB
You mean the external links?
Joshua S
Are you doing the Bible Bee this year?
Joshua S
Yes. I know of other websites that do it that way, but I don't know why.
ZachB
It's that way to track when a link is clicked. It set it up that way a couple years ago and have never bothered changing it, although I probably should once my other projects are done and I have time.
Rachelle
I don't know… my mom says that she'll think about it. I sure hope so!
Joshua S
Okay, that's what guessed. You probably should change once you get the time though. It sometimes takes a significant amount of time when I click on your links. Also, you might want to change your Memverse link. You still have the referrer set to Z-man.
Joshua S
Are you still doing school, or have you finished for the Summer?
ZachB

Yes, for some reason I have it set for it to take 2 seconds to track instead of instantaneously? I think I might have done that to ensure it being recorded, but even so that should be done on the website and not on the link. The famous phrase "When I have time…"
And my memverse username is still Z-man.
Rachelle
Still doing school. Are you finished for the summer? Or graduated?

Hi! :)
ZachB
ducks You'd better not have any pillows with you :P How are you?
Rachelle
Hi!
Hannah*
I don't, cause you threw all my pillows into space. :'(
Pretty good, how about you?
Rachelle
Haha. Memverse pillow fights are fun! XD picks up pillow
Joshua S

I am mostly finished for the Summer, and I have not graduated yet.
