@genie Yeah, I need to get used to losing. :( Thank you (regarding tenure). I didn't do it in record time, just the standard 6 years. There was a very nice little party at the university. Good times.

Get used to losing —it’s what we do most of the time!! Do you remember how the bird got out of the house?? We never guessed– we always lost! Congratulations on the celebration of your tenure. Was it just for you or were others involved also. That is quite an accomplishment. Did you do it in record time?? It seems to me that you just got there. I am verrrrrry proud of all that you have achieved in your short life time. You are awesome!!!! I looooooooovvvve you!!!

[...] the problem that you have two separate Zotero databases and want to access them at the same time. I used to manage multiple databases simultaneously by using a really cool Firefox extension: Foxtest….
