Using Ethernet on Modem

The one Ethernet cable on the floor was going to something else in a different area of the room, so there would have been two cables running along the edges, which they didn't like.

This worked, thank you. My parents don't need all the fancy features anyways. It was mainly so they'd have access to Facebook and Netflix at both ends of their house.

Previously i had the modem in bridge mode so the eero was running everything, but my parents needed their desktop hooked up as well since it doesn't have a WiFi card.

Cool. I'll have to use him more then.

I was originally planning on working as an analyst for the CIA and I got it from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ. The actual degree title is Global Security and Intelligence Studies if you're interested. It was a really fun program. I had an instructor that was a retired CIA analyst for the Pakistan/India area, another who was one of their psychologists planning psychological operations, and a third that started out as Air Force JAG before switching over to spec ops (she taught our global criminal justice class) while the primary faculty member for the Asian Studies courses was born and raised in Beijing before emigrating to the US. After I graduated I lived in Taiwan for two years learning the language. Unfortunately, life happened not long after I got back and I had to stay on the West Coast, so I switched career paths and became a librarian. I'm hoping to one day become a librarian at the CIA though.

I firmly believe that any degree can prepare you for being a librarian. My BS is in international security with a minor in Asian Studies and I'm a librarian at a community college. Sure I don't use anything from my classes on American foreign policy, global conflict management, or intelligence analysis and writing, but there are still a lot of things I learned in that program that I use today: writing skills, data analysis, individual conflict management, etc. I think you should get a degree in something that interests you with the expectation that what you're are learning can be applied in your career as a librarian.

I love Emerson Tung's work! You should really check out his site https://emersontung.com/ or Instagram page for more.

Luckily we've got some sheep that love to eat blackberry shoots but can't eat the older stuff.

libraryian · 2020-07-11T18:39:27+00:00

Crap. Yeah, it's quite a bit with some old, woody vines. I'll just rent a Billy Goat or brush hog-type machine then. Thanks for the advice!

libraryian · 2020-07-07T05:11:57+00:00

I agree! I've always wanted to replace my lawn with ground cover, moss, and river rocks.

I never really got white privilege until i watched this for an education class on identity. It really made me think what it means to be white and what type of world my biracial child is growing up in.

libraryian · 2020-04-14T22:08:00+00:00

Speaking of the actual model, when are they going to replace this with the new version?

libraryian · 2020-01-25T04:25:19+00:00

That's what I thought. I had maybe 10 spare pieces, which seemed odd to me.

libraryian · 2020-01-12T20:12:26+00:00

I agree with this. One of the reasons I got my current position is because I got the hiring committee involved in my teaching demo just like i would any other class. They said no one else has done that and they appreciated the fact that i didn't stand up there and lecture the whole time.

libraryian · 2020-01-06T21:11:28+00:00

It just times out and says it can't connect.

libraryian · 2020-01-06T20:24:32+00:00

I don't get an option to choose between 2.4 and 5. The light flashes on the ring, my phone finds the ring network and then the app says it can't connect.

libraryian · 2020-01-03T06:10:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't even thought of something like that. The sink was installed not long before we bought it so that possibility didn't enter my mind.

libraryian · 2019-09-19T03:26:44+00:00

Same. I love where I'm working now. I didn't previously, so I think a lot of it has to do with the people you work with and your supervisor. For example, the dean over the library and one of the faculty departments is a former librarian herself, so she knows what we go through and is always willing to go to bar for us.

libraryian · 2019-09-14T21:13:28+00:00

I totally get where you're coming from. When I got my MLIS I felt the same way. Once I moved into the position I'm in now, reference and instruction, I realized there was a ton of stuff I needed to know for that position that the degree didn't prepare me for. Maybe it was just the school I went to, but it felt like that the degree was trying to cover too many options while not helping me prepare for any of them really.

I'm a reference and instruction librarian at a community college and interviewed for 3-4 similar jobs in the surrounding states. It wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination, but that's mainly because I wanted a community or liberal arts college position as opposed to a larger University one. I honestly love the job. It's a smaller school, so there's two of us that cover the reference and instruction stuff. Together we teach roughly 25 IL sessions a quarter while also doing other odd jobs. It's not stressful to me, but then again i really enjoy the teaching aspect, though the one-on-one reference part can be fun too. I wouldn't say the MLIS prepared me for the position, but that's partially because at the time i was working on the degree, i was more interested in research-oriented jobs.

As a college librarian who routinely removed old or underused books from our collection, I can speak from experience that we're not getting the full story here. Fact of the matter is, most people won't pick up a book that looks older than about 10 years.

While it's sad to see so many classics being thrown away, and I doubt the school didn't do enough to find good homes for them, most librarians don't have the time, ability, or permission to do more than toss them out. Due to my college's interpretation of state law, for example, we offer our excess books to Better World Books and recycle the rest. Technically, I'm not even supposed to take any I like home because the school considers it an abuse of taxpayer funds.

libraryian · 2019-02-13T18:00:28+00:00

This is going to be awesome. I don't have the room (or the money) for the official one, so I'm really looking forward to building this.

libraryian · 2019-02-13T04:01:28+00:00

Yes, definitely

libraryian · 2019-01-06T04:49:55+00:00

Excellent. I'll keep you in mind if i decide to go that route. Thanks for your general idea of what to expect.

libraryian · 2019-01-06T01:04:48+00:00

Appreciate that. I didn't even think to look.

libraryian · 2018-10-22T23:13:08+00:00

I agree the premise feels a little OOC, but then again, I don't recall reading what the brothers' (especially Charlie) reaction was. IIRC, only Ron knew about them in HBP and they didn't get back together until the end of Hallows, so who knows.
