Just gone back to Zotero after the best part of a decade. The process of importing my references couldn't have been easier!

Obsidian and Upgrading to Sync - What's up with James?

For just over a year I've been using Obsidian. I used to use Notion for some of my personal/research note taking, but increasingly found it clunky...

@srgower I had used some app (forgot the name) on android to sync without paying for it. But it was quite clunky. For me it's that I don't want my personal cloud account on my work laptop. Or try and find a work around for that same cloud account on my other Linux laptop. This is the nearest solution for me. Or the most efficient option across three separate non-apple OS'.

Every now and then I do like to play around with web code. This time I've just tidied up behind the scenes for my website. I've now got a separate CSS file instead of duplicating the style code on every html page.
