Short on Space? Try These Compact Home Office Desks!

By   Moe Long  

When I grew up, my mom was self-employed and had her own home office with a large desk in the basement. Meanwhile, my dad, who had a regular job, turned the broom closet into a tiny office for himself. The closet-office was the highlight of every house tour. While Dad eventually moved to a basement office, the broom closet, with its small corner desk, remains the place where my parents store their paperwork until this day.

Desks have this tendency to take up space, they easily gather clutter and generally don’t blend in well. When you are short on space you have to be creative. If a home office desk isn’t a major priority and if you don’t happen to have a broom closet, room in the basement, or an unused nook in the kitchen, you might want to look at some of the options below.3 Ways To Install a Computer In Your Kitchen 3 Ways To Install a Computer In Your KitchenInstalling a computer in the kitchen is a brilliant idea.

Secretary Desk

Flexibility is great, but it isn’t necessarily convenient. If you desire a desk with ample space to store work utensils, a small office hidden in a cabinet (also known as a secretary desk) might be just the thing.

Image Credit: WerbeFabrik

The Flat Mate Desk is an ultra-thin modern secretary desk that takes up only 0.09 square meters when closed. Due to its folding design, you can expand a respectable desktop, which provides sufficient space for your work. Hidden in its lower back is a slim storage space, accessible via side flaps.

This playful interpretation of a secretary desk leaves more room to play for your kids. This interpretation of the classic secretary desk offers a generous amount of desk space while looking like a regular cabinet when closed. I would choose a slightly more comfortable seat, though.

Interested in a retro-inspired secretary desk? The Winsome Wood walnut desk masquerades as a fine piece of furniture. That’s not to say it isn’t, but this secretary desk appears as simply a lush cabinet. But opening its top-drawer exposes a spacious desktop inside a unit which neatly closes in on itself.

How It Saves Space:

• cabinet form factor
• desktop folds up when not in use

Bonus Points:

• conceals clutter
• potentially offers space for storing ring binders and accessories

Downsides:

• desktop might not be as robust or durable as that of a regular desk
• desk needs to be cleared for folding up

Conclusion

As a freelance writer and editor, my home office probably gets the most use of any room in my house. Crucial to the aesthetics and function of my home office is the desk. Since I’m short on space, a desk that balances space saving without sacrificing form is essential. There is a creative desk solution for every home, regardless of its size. Which compact home office is best depends on the physical space, as well as how much desk area you require. If you benefit from a dedicated home office, a more traditional desk or a secretary desk is an excellent idea.

When decorating small spaces to perfection, you might want to go with a fold-up desk to conceal the potential clutter. To stay flexible, a stylish file cabinet on wheels paired with a mobile desk could be a great solution for a mobile home office. Wheeled laptop or computer stands offer loads of functionality and portability. Alternatively, a desk topper wields the power to transform any home surface into a work environment, plus these typically afford standing desk benefits.

What is your favorite desk and what does your desk look like right now?

7 Best Note-Taking Tools for Programmers

By  Joel Lee,

Programming is an activity prone to frustration and difficulty — even when done as a hobby. Creating a web, mobile, or desktop app is a big undertaking, and good note-taking skills are key to staying organized and not succumbing to stress, despair, and burnout.Programming Burnout: How to Regain Your Lost Motivation Programming Burnout: How to Regain Your Lost MotivationWriting all those lines of code can be draining physically and emotionally. All you need to get back up is the awareness that motivation can be regained.READ MORE

But most note-taking apps aren’t designed with programmers in mind, and they can be so frustrating to use that they drive you to give up on notes entirely. That’s why we’ve gone ahead and rounded up the best note-taking tools for coders. Check these out — you’ll love them!

1. Boostnote

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux

Boostnote is the prime example of a note-taking app for coders. It doesn’t have all the features of a modern note-taking app (e.g. it has Markdown formatting and folder-based organization but lacks customizable keyboard shortcuts) but does have what all programmers love:

You can embed code blocks directly within normal notes, and you can create separate snippet-type notes that are specifically for collecting and grouping multiple code blocks in a single note. It also supports checkbox-based lists for task management.

The best part about Boostnote is that it’s free and open source. Combined with its features, Boostnote is perfect for students in programming courses.Open Source vs. Free Software: What's the Difference and Why Does It Matter? Open Source vs. Free Software: What's the Difference and Why Does It Matter?Many assume "open source" and "free software" mean the same thing but that's not true. It's in your best interest to know what the differences are.READ MORE

2. MedleyText

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux

MedleyText is very similar to Boostnote, with fewer features but a tighter focus on the features it does have: rich-text formatting, embedded code blocks within normal notes, and customizable keyboard shortcuts. It’s excellent for highly-productive coders with big projects.

When you embed formatted code directly into notes, the app will automatically highlight the syntax. Or you can manually select which syntax highlighting language to apply to any given block of code. It supports over 40 programming languages as of writing this article.

MedleyText is completely free without restrictions when taking local notes. A premium service called MedleyText+S is set to release in late 2017, allowing you to sync notes to cloud storage, access a web version of the app, and share notes with others.

3. Quiver

Platform: Mac

Quiver is yet another app like the two above: you can mix and match text (in both Markdown and LaTeX formats) with embedded code inside notes. However, Quiver has a dedicated code editor right inside the app that’s cleaner and more responsive than its competitors.

As for syntax highlighting, this app supports over 120 programming languages. Cloud storage sync is available for Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, and more. And because notes are stored as JSON, you can safely use version control to track changes. Shared notebooks even allow for collaboration between teammates on large projects.

So if Quiver is so great, why is it listed third? Because it’s only available on Mac. While the Mac operating system is a wonderful programming environment, most coders are still on either Windows or Linux. We consider this a huge negative mark.

4. OneNote

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Web

OneNote is arguably the best note-taking app period, but until recently it lacked syntax highlighting abilities, making it inappropriate for programmers. Fortunately, thanks to a free add-on released by a GitHub user, OneNote can now do syntax highlighting for code.Every Programmer Who Uses OneNote Needs This Add-On ASAP Every Programmer Who Uses OneNote Needs This Add-On ASAPIf you're a programmer tired of ugly code formatting in OneNote, you need to download this tool. It makes adding code to OneNote books a cinch and sets up in seconds.READ MORE

The add-on is admittedly a bit clunky, but it’s nice to know you can finally use OneNote for storing code notes. Since OneNote is one of the best ways to take notes as a student, this is particularly good news for students in programming and engineering curriculums.

OneNote is also great for collaborative projects due to note sharing. And best of all? It’s completely free and available on nearly every major platform, both desktop and mobile. (Except for Linux, sorry!)8 of the Best Free Collaborative Tools For Programmers 8 of the Best Free Collaborative Tools For ProgrammersIf you're a programmer and you aren't yet sharing or collaborating, you're behind the curve. Reap the benefits of collaboration with the right web apps.READ MORE

5. CherryTree

Platform: Windows

CherryTree is unlike most note-taking apps in that it’s more of a personal wiki. However, since pages can be nested under each other in a hierarchy, it’s more than good enough for taking notes. What makes it a wiki? You can insert links to any other page throughout the notebook.

There are other apps like CherryTree, including wikidPad and Zim, but CherryTree supports a special page type specifically for code. Use regular notes for ideas and tasks, use the code notes for snippets. As far as the page hierarchy, both types work the exact same way.

CherryTree is very fast, making it one of the best lightweight note-taking apps.7 Lightweight OneNote and Evernote Alternatives 7 Lightweight OneNote and Evernote AlternativesThough we love them, both Evernote and OneNote can be slow and bloated. If you've been looking for an alternative, here are a few lightweight note-taking apps you should consider.READ MORE

6. Sublime Text

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux

As a programmer, you likely know about Sublime Text already. True, it’s a text editor and not a note-taking app, but it can certainly be used for taking notes: every note as a text file, and every code snippet in a separate language-appropriate file.

Sublime Text’s native features are excellent for increasing overall productivity, and the ability to split into multiple editor panes is indispensable. But for note-taking and organization, it can get even better with a few free plugins.11 Sublime Text Tips for Productivity and a Faster Workflow 11 Sublime Text Tips for Productivity and a Faster WorkflowSublime Text is a versatile text editor and a gold standard for many programmers. Our tips focus on efficient coding, but general users will appreciate the keyboard shortcuts.READ MORE

SideBarEnhancements is a must-install for every Sublime Text user. It adds a number of improvements to the sidebar, mostly in the menu when you right-click files. PlainTasksincorporates a task-style to-do list right inside the editor. And MarkdownEditing is nifty if you want your notes to be taken down in Markdown.

Sublime Text technically costs $70, but the free evaluation period never ends. As long as you can deal with an occasional pop-up that reminds you to purchase the full version, you can use Sublime Text for free indefinitely.

7. TickTick

Platforms: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Web

TickTick is a to-do list app that’s pretty similar to other apps of its kind, but it has one subtle feature that makes it good for taking notes: every list item has a “description” field that’s basically an entire notepad.

As a programmer, you can use TickTick to track all of your tasks as individual list items and store whatever notes you need for each task. There’s no syntax highlighting or rich text formatting though, so it’s better for managing ideas than storing code snippets.

Plus, you get all the benefits of a full-blown to-do list app: folder organization, subtasks, recurring tasks, reminders, priorities, etc. TickTick has a free plan with a limited number of lists, and a paid plan for $28 per year.

Extra Tips for Becoming a Better Programmer

If all else fails, you can always stick notes right within your code as comments. It isn’t the best approach for abstract-level project management, and it requires clean coding habits, but it’s an option for low-level notes pertinent to certain snippets.10 Tips for Writing Cleaner & Better Code 10 Tips for Writing Cleaner & Better CodeWriting clean code looks easier than it actually is, but the benefits are worth it. Here's how you can start writing cleaner code today.READ MORE

Either way, keep going and keep improving. Programming is tough, so check out these tips for learning to code without stress. Furthermore, learn about how daily meditation can improve your code. And if you ever feel stuck, here are ways to overcome programmer’s block.

How iOS 11 Fundamentally Changes The iPad

Will iOS 11 convince people to use iPad as their main computer?

Releasing this September, iOS 11 appears to have been targeted at a very specific audience – current and potential iPad owners. With iOS 11 Apple’s intention of offering iPad as the main computer for the masses is absolutely clear. To highlight this, Market Inspector has created an infographic that details some of the mainiPad-specific iOS 11 features.

Since the dawn of iOS, a number of features have been added, however, a native file management system was sorely missing all these years. This year, iOS 11 not only brings a brand-new file management application, but also inherits many things from the macOS. To illustrate, the new dock at the bottom of the iPad and the new app switcher appear to be clones of the macOS counterparts. New multitasking gestures make it possible to drag and drop files across applications and the enhanced pencil and notes functionalities bring a lot of value for the iPad users.

Apple has also taken the initiative to clean up the multi-pane control centre and unify numerous functionalities in one pane with the help of toggles. What is even better is that these toggles are end-user customisable. The keyboard has also been updated. Now it is possible to add symbols and other characters without leaving the main interface. A simple flick would do the trick.

There are many more changes that come bundled within the iOS 11. However, this iteration of iOS is Apple’s attempt at closing the gap between iOS and macOS. While programmers and designers will continue to flock to the mac, will these changes make regular users switch to an iPad? This is not an easy question to answer and ultimately depends upon the needs to the individual. Though, as far as basic office tasks are concerned, it is hard to overlook the potential of iOS 11 and the iPad.

The Top 10 Gadgets of 2017

The Top 10 Gadgets of 2017

Yes, You CAN Watch TV Online Legally & For Free

By Dan Price  

More people are cutting the cord every day as thousands of disillusioned viewers struggle to find value for money in $100+ cable bills.Should You Cut the Cord or Keep Your Cable TV? Should You Cut the Cord or Keep Your Cable TV?If you're still holding on to your cable subscription, but are debating if its time to make a change, we're here to help. This guide should help you make your mind up.READ MORE

At the start of 2012, the number of cable TV subscriptions in the United States peaked at 103 million. The figure has now dropped to 96 million, and by the end of 2018, experts believe it will be down to about 92 million.

But all those people haven’t suddenly stopped watching television. Instead, they’re increasingly finding ways to watch TV online for free.

Clearly, there are lots of illegal ways to watch your favorite shows, but there are also plenty of perfectly legal (and free) ways. Here are some of the best…

1. Plex and Kodi

Plex and Kodi are he two biggest home theatre apps right now. Both support live TV and have DVR features, and all you need to access them is an antenna and a tuner.Plex Live TV: Everything You Need to Know Plex Live TV: Everything You Need to KnowPlex has added live TV channels to its service, but what exactly is Plex Live TV? We have everything you need to know about this exciting new option for cord-cutters.READ MORE

If you set up your equipment on one machine, you can stream your content to other devices in your home, thus letting you watch TV in bed on your tablet or stream it to your Roku device in another room.

On Plex, you can even access your content remotely; you’ll never miss an episode of your favorite show, no matter where you are in the world.

2. Crackle

Crackle is a free-to-use app that’s available in 21 countries and broadcasts in three languages (English, Spanish, and Portuguese).

The company offers apps for all of the major mobile operating systems and streaming devices, including Android, iOS, Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, and several smart TVs. Its content is also Chromecast-compatible.

Content-wise, Crackle has partnerships with several Hollywood studios and major TV networks. Some of the most notable are Universal, FOX, Warner Brothers, Paramount, and Disney.

The videos are ad-supported.

3. Yahoo View

Yahoo View launched immediately after Hulu killed its free tier. The service has a partnership with Hulu to deliver some of its content.Hulu's Free Streaming Option Is Shutting Down Soon Hulu's Free Streaming Option Is Shutting Down SoonHulu's free streaming option is coming to an end, but it's not the end of the world yet. Here's how you can keep watching that free content elsewhere.READ MORE

Yahoo View has a free tier and a paid tier. The paid tier includes shows from ABC, NBC, and FOX. They become available eight days after being aired. The most recent five episodes are available.

The free service gives you access to a reasonably-sized selection of older content such as Saturday Night Live, Community, and Will and Grace.

Unfortunately, Yahoo View is only available in the United States.

4. OVGuide

OVGuide offers free TV shows and full-length movies in 20 distinct genres. It has a web player, smartphone apps, and standalone apps for most mainstream streaming devices.

The site doesn’t host any of its own content; it acts as a hub for content elsewhere and relies on users to submit suitable sites. But don’t worry, there’s nothing shady going on. All of the sites it sources from are entirely legal.

It also has a great feature that’s not present on some other services: If OVGuide doesn’t have the content you want for free, it will tell you where you can find a paid-for version of the video instead.

5. LinkTV

LinkTV is an American satellite television network which has a focus on global-minded content.

The videos on the site are broken down into five categories: Arts and Entertainment, Culture and Society, Environment, News and Analysis, and World.

The content is mainly a mix of original episodes and snippets from other shows. Original shows include Who Speaks for Islam?, Men of Words, and Future Express.

However, it also has some 24-hour live news, including English-language feeds from Deutsche Welle, NHK and France 24. The company also has agreements in place with Democracy Now!, TED Talks, and some other content providers.5 Free Streaming News Channels for Cord-Cutters 5 Free Streaming News Channels for Cord-CuttersOne of the biggest drawbacks of canceling cable TV is the availability of news. Or lack thereof. Thankfully, things are changing, and here are now plenty of free news channels for cord-cutters.READ MORE

Lastly, unlike some other sites on this list, LinkTV also offers world music videos.

6. TubiTV

Given the selection of content on TubiTV, it might appear to be another illegal site that’s following in the footsteps of Popcorn Time. However, rest assured that the site is entirely legal. It operates through a web of license agreements.The Truth About Popcorn Time, And How To Torrent Safely The Truth About Popcorn Time, And How To Torrent SafelyREAD MORE

Deals are in place with several studios and producers. You’ll find films and shows from Lionsgate, MGM, Paramount, Starz, and more. At the time of writing there are more than 7,500 videos to choose from.

In addition to a web portal, you can download apps for Android, iOS, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Xbox, and PlayStation 4.

7. PBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX

It’s easy to overlook the TV networks’ websites, but if you live in the United States, they’re a treasure trove of content.

For example, the FOX website not only has recently-aired shows, but also has a vast amount of information about the cast and the episodes. It also offers sneak previews and trailers, as well as the occasional special offer.

If you like shows on NBC, check out the company’s NBC Video Library. Like FOX, there are both new and old shows, as well as games, news, and a surprisingly active community.

ABC Go offers many of the network’s most popular shows, including Grey’s Anatomy, Designated Survivor, and The Good Doctor.

PBS generally focuses on educational content and documentaries.

8. YouTube

YouTube isn’t always thought of as a TV streaming service. It’s not the site’s primary purpose. But don’t dismiss YouTube entirely.

Obviously, you’re not going to find the latest Game of Thrones episode in the library (and if you do, it’s illegal and will be taken down swiftly). However, lots of old classic shows are available. They are often made available by the rights holders or the networks themselves.

Just search for your favorite shows from the 1990s using the “S00E00” suffix, and you might be surprised at what pops up.

9. Crunchyroll

If you like anime and manga, Crunchyroll is the site for you. It has more than 800 anime shows, 200 Asian dramas, and 50 manga titles.

It’s the only place you’ll be able to find some of the content; Crunchyroll is the exclusive worldwide digital distributor for Kadokawa anime titles.

In addition to the web portal, you can watch Crunchyroll on Chromecast, Wii U, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, Android, Apple TV, and Roku.

10. Free Trials

Services like Netflix, Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, and Hulu are not free. However, remember that they almost all offer free trials for their services.

If there’s one show you desperately want to watch, sign up for a trial and binge-watch the content you’re craving. You might even be impressed enough to purchase a full subscription.

How Do You Watch TV Legally Online?

In this article, we’ve introduced you to 14 ways you can watch TV online legally and for free. Now we want you to add your favorite services to this list.
