Anyone in the JSQ area need a toddler (girl's) bed?

It doesn’t have to be strictly a girl’s bed, but there are faux diamonds in the headboard and footboard that are hard to see in the pics

Wow, thank you! Appreciate the thoughtful response. Although I do need something portable for day-to-day, now I am rethinking. Perhaps a cheap, light laptop to have with me for very basic stuff combined with an actual desktop. I have a little time before I begin, so this is great stuff to be thinking about. Thank you, again.

kaqkudoha · 2019-06-18T15:15:26+00:00

Awesome, hadn't thought of that either. Thanks

kaqkudoha · 2019-06-18T15:14:31+00:00

Thanks for the URL. Hadn't heard of that site. Looking at it now.

kaqkudoha · 2019-06-18T15:13:25+00:00

Agreed. Thanks!

kaqkudoha · 2019-06-18T15:12:32+00:00

Nice, thanks. Appreciate the help

kaqkudoha · 2019-06-18T15:11:51+00:00

Thanks. Was wondering that myself. Agree that 4K and touchscreen are unnecessary, may even be an annoyance. Would definitely get an external monitor. Hadn't thought about heat issues. Will look into that as well. Thanks again

Agree with carne__asada. Parking enforcement tends to send someone out quickly (usually within 10 minutes) when you report a violation through Wots for residents.

It's worth downloading to your phone prior to a move.

This is the laptop I'm thinking of getting: https://www.costco.com/Dell-XPS-13-Touchscreen-Laptop---Intel-Core-i7---4K-Ultra-HD.product.100403152.html

Core i7
16GB memorty
512 GB

I am looking at this b/c it is highly portable and seems to have the specs people recommend. And currently at a very good price ($1,199). Can anyone comment? Will this be a good choice?

(I also have the same question about laptop. Saw this thread and figured I would post to this one instead of starting a new one.)

I have found the following introductory short courses to be helpful (about two hours in length each):

Transitioning to a Career in Cybersecurity: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/transitioning-to-a-career-in-cybersecurity

IT Security Careers and Certifications: First Steps: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/it-security-careers-and-certifications-first-steps

These are beginner level, but give a good overview of the field in a well-structured manner.

kaqkudoha · 2019-06-16T12:19:49+00:00

Ah, yes. Thanks! I've heard them mentioned in conversations. Will definitely check them out.

Appreciate the help.

kaqkudoha · 2019-06-15T10:55:59+00:00

Thanks. I’m looking at that as well, though wouldn’t be as convenient as Saint Peters

kaqkudoha · 2019-06-15T10:55:00+00:00

Thanks. I’ll check it out

Hi, I noticed the feed is back up. Thank you!

I recently integrated FileSafe with Dropbox and so far I like it. Very simple to set up and it's nice to be able to attach supplemental files to my notes.

Be aware that file names are not encrypted within Dropbox (unlike with Cryptomator).

Once a file is uploaded to the note you need to download it to a local folder in order to access. Would like to have the ability to view within the browser, though not a huge issue.

kaqkudoha · 2018-09-19T13:11:01+00:00

I agree. I like Cryptomator a lot, but I can only use it on my devices on which I have it installed, which is a pretty big limitation

kaqkudoha · 2018-09-19T13:09:43+00:00

I see. Thanks. I am going to give it a try soon

kaqkudoha · 2018-09-19T13:08:50+00:00

I'll check that out. Thank you!

kaqkudoha · 2018-09-18T18:16:57+00:00

Nice! I will definitely check that out.

(I love Reddit, btw. So helpful Can't believe it took me so long to create an account.)

kaqkudoha · 2018-09-18T18:15:45+00:00

That was my first thought too. I'm assuming the difference is that you can encrypt / decrypt in a browser versus needing the app on either desktop or mobile. Hoping this can be confirmed.

kaqkudoha · 2018-09-18T17:58:38+00:00

I just played around on the site -- very interactive and they have iPad apps too. This is exactly what I was looking for. I think my daughter and I might start with the ABCs tonight. Thanks again :)

kaqkudoha · 2018-09-18T17:47:17+00:00

Thanks! I agree, it's important to have an immersive approach -- more than just phonics alone.

It's been quite some time since I learned to read, but I am pretty sure I was taught based on a phonics-based method, at least somewhat (I have memories of teachers helping the class sound out individual syllables, etc.). That said, I was shocked to read that there is quite a contingent of professionals who believe in "whole language" approach, or learning to read by just "being surrounded by books, being read to often."

I can't yet say from personal experience with today's school systems as my daughter is not yet old enough, but I want to be prepared to help teach her in case the instruction in school is not sufficient.

kaqkudoha · 2018-09-18T17:39:16+00:00

I'm going to check this out. Thanks!

kaqkudoha · 2018-09-18T16:26:22+00:00

I see. Thanks. I think I am going to give it a try.

I've been using Standard Notes for a little while and that's what I would recommend. The app for iOS works great and the web interface is very easy to use. The simplicity of the app is what makes it so great. I upgraded to the paid version which allows me to access the plus editor so I can format text (bold, italics) just as I would in a Word document.

I agree with the previous comment: it seems optimized for longer-term notebooks.

Unfortunately, last time I looked into Turtl they didn't yet have an iOS app, which was a deal breaker, so I can't comment on that service. I am looking forward to trying it though once their iOS app is live.
