TimshelKnoll
timshel <at> pobox.comI live at NodeDDE in Footscray. Yes, Timshel is a wierd name, but it's my real name, so don't abuse it
.I'm a 3rd year Computer Science student at
RMIT, I'm also developer/maintainer for the Debian GNU/Linux project, and have been hooked onLinux and Free|OpenBSD *nix stuff since my first RedHat
3.0 install in '96. As well as being a Melbourne Wireless member, I'm a member of
Linux Users of Victoria. My povo student status means that I'm taking my time getting enough stuff together to build my node. I've got an Enterasys card and RICOH PCI cradle, but the're currently in testing at a friend's place, since I don't have a PCI2.2 compliant box to get the cradle working in. :-(TODO
* Do more testing / playing
* Get myself an ISA -> PCMCIA adapter to use at home (I don't have any PCI2.2 compliant PC's) :-( If you've got one you want to get rid of, please contact me ...
* Build and test some home-brew cantennas - I do the "other" sort of home brewing, so I want to test how homebrew kit cans go as cantennas ...
* Build a dedicated box
* Read up on and play around with various protocols, including OSPF (Zebra) and IPSEC (FreeS/WAN)
* Get up on the roof and set up some kind of antenna mast. My housemate actually scored a 12M mast from somewhere, but I think it's too tall to legally use without a permit. I'm not sure how long I'll be in my current house, either, so might wait and see what the next house provides ...
* Borrow a digital camera and put up some photos from my roof ...
I'm hoping to get more involved in WGRoutingAddressing, and maybe also in
WGSolarPower in the future.
