Spelling: TimshelKnoll

I live at NodeDDE [2] 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 [3], I'm also
developer/maintainer [4] for the Debian GNU/Linux [5] project, and
have been hooked on
Linux [6] and Free [7]|Open [8]BSD *nix stuff since my first RedHat
[9]
3.0 install in '96. As well as being a Melbourne Wireless member, I'm
a member of Linux Users of Victoria [10]. 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 [11] and RICOH PCI cradle [12], 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 [13], and
maybe also in
WGSolarPower [14] in the future.
