Hello, I'm Keegan.

Currently I am Personal Telco's Network Engineer. I focus on building and maintaining our nodes, with the help of our network operations team.

I've been lurking and posting around the various mailing lists for several years, since before "PDX Wireless" and the Personal Telco Project become one entity - ancient history, now. Since the beginning of 2003 I've had more energy and love to contribute to the project, and hope to continue doing so for years to come.

Projects

• I have tracked, maintained, and coordinated many major public Personal Telco nodes.
• I have participated in the installation and maintenance of dozens of nodes.

• I've recorded, broadcasted, and distributed audio from the monthly meetings, between January 2003 and mid-2004. The MonthlyMeeting wiki page has more information.

• I run ["Node471"] at my parents' house and ["Node648"] at my home.

• I've packaged NoCatAuth for Debian GNU/Linux.

Recent Activity

• 2004.12.19: I've been away from e-mail since the beginning of August. I bought a house at the end of that month, and have been quite occupied with keeping track of it since. I'm connected intermittently now, and have nearly finished parsing through the huge backlog of e-mail. Expect replies soon. I've been doing my best to get a decent overview of the progress and reliability of all of the nodes and network components, but I'm left with many questions, which I will be researching answers for and probably posting about a bit. While offline, I've been hacking on what has become of Adhocracy, and various other bits and pieces - although not as much as I'd like. I'll see if I can write more soon...
• 2004.02.17: Well. In January I was selected to be the project's official network engineer. Since my last entry, we've put up a whole lot of new nodes. ["Node561"] at Red Wing Coffee and Baking, ["Node562"] at the Cedar Hills Crossing Shopping Center, ["Node563"] at Backspace, ["Node564"] at the Ugly Mug Coffeehouse, ["Node565"] at The Crow Bar, ["Node566"] at The Basement Public House, ["Node567"] at Division 34, and ["Node568"] at Subway on Hawthorne. Whew! I've also done some serious maintenance on ["Node113"], ["Node143"], ["Node155"], and ["Node536"]. 155 has sadly gone out of business and 113 is plagued by a never-ending stream of issues, but 143 and 536 are now quite stable, as well as all of the other nodes I'm currently keeping tabs on - 19 all together, including the ones listed here. Whew again! bone has recieved quite a lot of love too lately. Generally, things are going well.

• 2003.12.03: Ecotrust, ["Node551"], has been running for 3 weeks with no issues - finally, a success story. World Cup, ["Node536"], is not doing so well, but has hope for the future. I've been putting a lot of time and energy into things like the weekly meetings, doing development for the NewCloneArmyBox hardware (in the form of the NewCloneArmyInstallMethodology), and actively deploying new nodes. Unfortunately, my most recent conquests are currently unofficial, due to not meeting all of the required criteria. I hope to resolve those issues in time.

• ...: Somewhere in here an update was lost. I've been really busy.

• 2003.06.25: The node at Couch Park, ["Node495"], is now up and running, thanks to a laptop I managed to pick up at a company auction, and the generous sponsorship of fellow member Robert Petersen. Get down there! BR

• 2003.06.09: I just installed ["Node491"] in the NW sector of downtown Portland, at TomFitz's restaurant called Capuia's. Check it out! BR

• 2003.04.23: I've recently completed construction of ["Node471"] on my roof in the Laurelhurst/Hollywood district. Hopefully it help will facilitate some inter-node linkage. BR
