I tried anki and while I liked it, I want to be interrupted while working on code/browsing to test/reinforce. Is there an app that does that?

I'm curious why you want to be interrupted while coding to test be tested. That kind of task switching would be horrible for me and is the reason why I have email turned off during coding sessions.

It would not work for involved things. My hypothesis is that if it's really quick recall, I'll be fine: I'm trying to reinforce the map from numbers to sounds (Harry Lorayne).
