A lot going on

The central part of my life right now seems to be train rides… Since the university where I study is 2,5-3 hours by train from here, and I go there at least twice a week, I spend 10 hours or more per week on the train. The key to successful studying on-board the train is [...]

Moody computer

I’ve been having some problems with Firefox which I tried to resolve a couple of weeks ago. It might have helped a little - Firefox doesn’t seem to be unresponsive quite as often after the computer has been asleep. On the other hand, the computer doesn’t always go to sleep, for some reason. And when [...]

Good old Firefox

I did as suggested by Rille who commented on my previous post and deleted my Firefox profile, and now I’ve created a new one. Hopefully this will get Firefox to behave!
Flock was ok, but not really what I need. I guess I’m not that social, haha…

Web browser

I’m trying to decide which web browser to use. I’ve been using Firefox for a couple of years, but recently it has started behaving weirdly. When I restart my computer after it has been “asleep” I have to restart Firefox, which means that I have to close all tabs. I have tried to set it [...]

Zotero again

There’s one thing that I don’t understand about Zotero (one thing… ha!). All references that I save in different collections show up in “My library”. But when I add a reference to a subcollection, [...]

Zotero favorizing a particular university…

Well, it seems like Zotero won’t work with just any university library. If I try to use it with Lund University Library or Stockholm University Library, it encounters “translation problems”. But when browsing Gothenburg University Library, Zotero is all in and has no problem saving posts. Is it just me or is there a certain [...]

Getting organized - part two

I realized that Zotero is another software which can be used to manage references. And it’s free and open source, which is appealing. I downloaded it today and have tried to use it, but it doesn’t work all the time. But when I tried to export references from an article database to EndNote, Zotero stepped [...]

Getting organized

At the library I got some information about EndNote which the librarian suggested we use to manage references. It seems like a really good way to make sure that all references are in their right place. But how do you organize your references IRL?? I have a ton of articles, books, copies of books etc [...]
