It's complicated and will throttle your bandwidth to a fair amount, but you could use your home computer as a proxy over a SSH tunnel which would encrypt everything you do.
I have no idea if you can SSH tunnel on an iPad though.

Does Astrid not have a non-web, pc version? With my bandwidth limitations, being completely web based is a no go. With evernote, I can do stuff on my phone or on the computer and then sync when I choose. Or on the web, but that's a third option, not the only way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never seen one, Liese. That would be pretty annoying. Sure, most computers have internet access most of the time, but people move their laptops, dammit.
I don't like the web client much (I only really would have cause to use it on my Mac), and the tablet app is my primary method of interfacing with it. But I think it would be my main way in anyway.
Now that I'm faced with my new laptop, I'm trying to work out how to handle my data in the safest way. I still want the ease of storing documents locally, because I don't want to have to connect to the VPN to do every small bit of business, but I get how I can't depend on that.
Does anyone know of a tool with which I could schedule file copies to a network location, that also won't scream if I'm not connected? I'd like something that tried daily to back up my email archive and my desktop/my documents, but didn't freak out if it missed one or three times.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is there any reason not to get a refurbished iPod from the Apple Store?

I buy all my Apple stuff refurbished, never had a problem.

Sweet, thanks! Now I can just go ahead and do that, because for whatever reason, $150 is an amount I have to think about, but $130 is totally doable??

Hee. I have decided to put it off some more, because the current one basically works, but I am glad to have the $20-off option!

Of the three iPods I've owned, the refurbished one is going strong almost 4 years later with no problems at all. The two brand new iPods lasted 2 years at most, and that was with constant babying towards the end.
