Hey guys/gals, I just noticed all the comments, I will read them in the morning. I have to get to the shelter by a certain time each night and it takes a bit of time to get from campus to the shelter. Thanks for the input and I will respond tomorrow in the morning. I am usually online from 7a - 5p or 6p PST.

Can't directly help, but I work with some freelancers who aren't homeless, but have a quite vagabond lifestyle. The good ones know when they are "on" a project they really need to be "online" during business hours. Get a good cellular data connection so you aren't relying on mooching free wifi. Be responsive and turn shit around. Get shit done and people will sing your praises no matter where you are.

And protect your electronics at the shelter. Those things have a tendency to disappear when you aren't protecting them.

And make sure your stuff is encrypted with good password. I wouldn't worry about stolen electronics as much as about stolen data. I wouldn't care where you live, but I would care if my data is safe with you.

It is encrypted and backed up regularly. Thanks for the comment. :)

I have it locked up every night by the staff.

I commented elsewhere on this thread and think that we could both benefit from chatting. I’m around tomorrow.
