Zinnia Progress Report

It’s starting to look like a baby flower!

Evernote released another update that made it completely unseeable to me. Not even the web client worked. So I spent way too much time today trying to decide if a Zotero will do what I need.

I spent the rest of the day cleaning up some entries in the FamilySearch tree and adding my sources to them, then got on Facebook and saw yet another post in the Ancestry user group scolding people who don’t have public trees. Some people believe they are entitled to others’ research. If you don’t agree, you’re some kind of asshole and don’t belong on Ancestry.

Not gonna lie. While I do have a public tree, it there are no Ancestry documents linked to it. I uploaded a gedcom, so there are sources (including notes and transcripts), but no pretty pictures and no easy way to click and look at a document image. My tree also won’t generate tree hints. That’s a feature.

The information is there, and it’s well sourced, but I want no part of spoon feeding it to people who believe they’re entitled to it.

Basically I’m over people today.
