Thanks Ramsay. Should be fixed now.
Graham, I have used CADroid from fdroid to import my self signed certificates to my Nexus 6P for my Owncloud instance. I would recommend it, however like you am waiting to find the time to look at Lets Encrypt… I would be interested to hear how anyone has got on doing this…
Thanks for the app recommendation. I saved the cert onto my Android device and used Settings>Security>Install from SD card to add the cert to the User trusted list (Cyanogedmod 5.1)
I had all kinds of problems getting that to work with my Cyanogenmod, hence having to use an app instead!
Ben, after hearing about your split keyboard laptop idea I came accross this:

Seems a nice approach to attaching 2 halves of a keyboard after sawing them apart.
I have recently switched to KDE. It works perfectly fine – much better than when I tried it some years ago. Suspect I’m not using it at its full potential but I have no intention of going back to GNOME or Cinnamon.
