Coding Wishes

I have a few Spanish blogs that I read. My comprehension is slowly getting better, but I often get lazy putting words I don't know in Anki, the flashcard program I use. So, I know just enough to realize there's a way to automate it. I even know some of the parts. I can also sit here and think, it could just be a shell script using command-line programs, but I can't actually do it, and I don't know how hard it would be to figure it out.

There are times I wish I was wealthy enough to just hire someone to solve the problem. I can imagine the finished product would be pretty cool, because I could do my flashcards first, before I saw the post, and then read the post later, which would likely strengthen my recall of the vocabulary.

I wish I could get solid estimates on how long it would take me to do the things I think up.
