About Me
Hello, I am Dan Rasmussen. My personal website is http://danrasmussen.org/. I'm on Google+, https://www.google.com/profiles/dan.rasmussen and Twitter: @dhrasmus. You can sometimes find me on PTP's IrcChannel.
Projects
(in no particular order)
- Make homepage awesome. On both mobile and immobile.
PersonalTelcoConstructed - READY-TO-GO draft of replacement homepage
PersonalTelcoUnderConstruction - draft of next-gen homepage. Not ready, but contains ideas for improvements.
Dashboard - PTP entry page for volunteers. Goal: show every homepage visitor what they need, and no more! See DashboardIntro for details.
Add sponsor links to nodes (ongoing, but started 22. Feb 2012 and essentially finished 28. Feb 2012) - working through NodesByAge
- Add maps to node pages lacking them (pending determining how that works)
Delete, or add to DeleteMe, obviously obsolete, no longer useful and/or interesting pages from AbandonedPages and OrphanedPages - WARNING: both of these links could take a long time to load!
Create pages the wiki says ought to exist, where beneficial. See WantedPages (and be aware that it could take forever to load)
Create something similar to BackPackAp.
Using Android platform, find offline way to use GPS to navigate to nearest PTP node. Possibility: custom POIs for OsmAnd?
Pages I've Created
NeedsUpdate - list of pages containing useful, but partly outdated, information
HistoricalInterest - list of interesting historical information, and/or mostly/completely outdated stuff, superseded by CategoryHistorical
PersonalTelcoMetrics - list of interesting ways to measure the growth, utility, and benefits of the project
PersonalTelcoExports - documents that may be useful to others who would emulate Personal Telco.
DanRasmussen/Questions - Personal Telco topics I'm interested in that don't appear to be documented in the written language
Macro Test Bed
Macro: RecentChangesList / RecentChanges()
RecentChanges takes up a lot of space! Possible to limit output? Here's RecentChangesList:
Macro: RandomPage(integer) , RandomPage, PageCount
Several random pages, (out of 33333 total) :
Random page, twice: WeeklyMeeting20170419 / PersonalTelco/2014-07-30
Macro: FullSearch() / FullSearchCached()
Pages where DanRasmussen appears in text. Is there some way to show most recent pages edited by DanRasmussen, vs. being in the page text? FullSearchCached is probably for searches that don't change much. I don't know how often the cache is refreshed, but would like to figure that out.
