I have now completed the migration of my 11 years of evernote archives into markdown and Obsidian (in a separate vault, to keep my current notes uncluttered). Joplin was an enormous help in transforming ENEX into markdown, even if it required a few fixes to prevent import going wrong.
I've begun the migration from my Evernote archive to Obsidian in earnest. By way of Joplin to transform ENEX files into markdown.

De @Datavakbond (datavakbond.nl) heeft een overzicht gemaakt van wat politieke partijen in hun programma's zeggen over data, datagebruik en regulering. Nuttig om door te nemen. https://datavakbond.nl/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Data-in-Den-Haag-2021.pdf Had nog nooit van de Datavakbond gehoord, en heb me maar eens even aangemeld.
@loweel @humanetech @mariusor Reading this conversation I checked. I am on a single person instance since 2.5yrs, the database is 821MB.
#WhereIsMySurprisedFace CNN found the redacted version of the contract between UK and AstraZeneca. Turns out it was signed one day AFTER the cointract with the EU was signed and it also containes the "reasonable best effort" language. The EU was right with its interpretation and AstraZeneca now has a lot to explain IMHO https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/02/17/europe/uk-astrazeneca-vaccine-contract-details-intl/index.html?__twitter_impression=true
I've explored Delta.chat, a bit which is a PGP e-mail client with a chat-app interface.
Bookfeed.io lets you make a list of authors you are interested in, and then provides you with a RSS feed that will alert you to new books published by those authors. It uses the Google Books API. Itβs a clever small personal tool that Lukas Mathis built. I like it.
23 maart de SOS Tech Awards van Open State Foundation en SETUP, de Black and Glass Box Awards voor openheid en transparantie, en de Dode / Levende Mussen Awards voor verantwoordelijkheid nemen bij technische misstappen (ipv alleen op z'n Facebooks 'sorry' zeggen en over tot de orde van de dag).

Journey is an interesting new Obsidian plugin, showing you the notes that form a path between two notes, so you can explore how your notes/thoughts are linked.

A few notes after reading @lukas posting on personal CRM: Personal CRM as a Not-LinkedIn, the CRM notes I keep are centered on remembering context.
