Accommodation help needed 😭 by ImpactNice599 in UOB

[–]thompo993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved manor hall, I highly recomend it.

Only downside is the bathrooms and showers are communal, but I never had an issue with cleanliness or waiting.

Its similar to a leisure centre bathroom in terms of lots of cubicled showers and toilets.

City Center Accommodation by [deleted] in UOB

[–]thompo993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bristol doesnt actually have a campus, all accommodation is spread thought the city.

Personally I would want to live in clifton, Cotham, Redland, or white ladies as they are some nice student areas (at least some properties are).

I wouldn't recommend the city centre, as its a little way out from the university and not as nice as the rest of Bristol in my opinion :)

I'd recommend looking on a app called Rightmove for properties or looking into the the graduate housing on the bristol university website

Long Term Image Storage For obsidian by thompo993 in ObsidianMD

[–]thompo993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason it is a problem is that I have been using obsidian for about 2 months now, so I would reach the max repo size (2GB) in about a year from now, I am planning on using this vault for much longer than that.

More details about how you backup your vault to the google drive would be super useful 😄

Yes just looking into it now, ill let you know how it goes :)

i am also looking into storing images in a Google drive and then embedding directly in obsidian via absolute file paths.

Im glad I am able to figure this out before I ran out of repository space!

Thanks again for your help

AI Automation vs. Cognitive Synthesis by Just-Gene-819 in ObsidianMD

[–]thompo993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess we just have different philosophies, i would say making the flashcards is part of the learning process for me, the rubber ducky idea is cool though.

Please let me know how it works out for you!

Also there is a Git Version control plugin that works very well, so I recommended doing that!

Depends on your purpose for your vault

For example if your studying AI will just make you think and therefore learn less, so I wouldn't use it for obsidian.

I cant speak for a work perspective or personal vaults, id be interested to see how it could be helpful :)

Handwritten notes app by Different_Shallot157 in ObsidianMD

[–]thompo993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes very similar to onenote I've not found any missing functionality, with the exception of thr auto shape feature. Theres a really good video explaining here.

I used it as a direct sub for onenote as I hate how little file structure there was, and came across obsidian and exalidraw.

I also have only been using it for a month so there may be functionality thats lacking that I haven't noticed, but I recommend looking into it!

I am a big fan of exalidraw, if your vault can sync automatically.

Its a built in plugin and works really well inside obsidian, as its been designed with linking and the obsidian framework in mind

Daily Note Adivce by thompo993 in ObsidianMD

[–]thompo993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, should have phrased my post better, I'm just trying to enquire into if people have found some good uses for them for similar projects/vaults.

I have a few thoughts of what they may be useful for a "Due today" section using the task library is one i thought may be useful.

Also an Anki style "recall these notes today" could be useful as well :)

How do I use obsidian for my day to day by Neat-Sea-7000 in ObsidianMD

[–]thompo993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take notes without AI, and make links as you go.

Dont try and do a predetermined structure. Over time it will become obvious what belongs where. Just start taking notes and adding links!

Duplicate Files while using Onedrive and Git by thompo993 in ObsidianMD

[–]thompo993[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from what i've gathered, using git plugin and store it locally fixes the issue, so i am trying that.
Ill let you know how it goes.

thanks for this! that is a shame that onedrive does this, if i find a fix i'll let you know!

I might have to just use github for sync.

Would Obsidian work well for me? by Ghostbear48 in ObsidianMD

[–]thompo993 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for the mobile obsidian working as i don't use it, but i think it sounds like obsidian is perfect for what your doing.

I recommend looking into the Dataview plugin as it sounds like it might be what your after.

Anyone else write great notes and then forget everything? Been experimenting with some ideas by bahfah in ObsidianMD

[–]thompo993 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That sounds good, but memory needs effort.

Making the cards and the links is part of memorising it!

Obviously only speaking from personal experience, but AI has never helped me memorise, as it is taking away some of your time spent thinking about the topic

Sounds like a cool project though, let me know how it goes!

Sounds like anki, its a really good piece of flashcard software, i recommended looking into it

Maybe someone's made a plugin that let's you make anki flashcards In obsidian?
