About Me
My personal website is http://danrasmussen.org/. You can sometimes find me on PTP's IrcChannel.
Projects
(in no particular order)
- Make homepage awesome. On both mobile and immobile.
Introduction - READY-TO-GO draft of replacement homepage. Russell and Jason apparently fond of sidebar on OldHomepage, DanRasmussen not certain sidebar is a good idea - see Dashboard section below). Replaced OldHomepage text with Introduction text on 25. April 2012 and trimmed down OldHomepage's sidebar.
IntroductionNextGen - DRAFT of next-gen homepage. Contains ideas for improvements to Introduction.
Dashboard - PTP entry page for volunteers. Goal: show every homepage visitor what they need, and no more! See UsingDashboard for details. Tried to include this page as a sidebar on Introduction page but failed (wasted too much time trying to get it right, and gave up).
4 - Number of print pages required to print OldHomepage. Note how awkward this looks in printed form, and how much of the information is quickly dated, or does not make sense in non-hyperlink form.
2 - Number of print pages required to print current homepage (Introduction). Leave out the footer if you're going to print this - causes to run into a whole extra page!
1.5 - Number of print pages required to print Dashboard. No real reason to print this page, just measuring how much space it takes up.
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, appropriate 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, find offline way to GPS navigate to nearest PTP node. Maybe using 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NeedsUpdate - list of pages containing useful, but partly outdated, information
HistoricalInterest - list of interesting historical information, and/or mostly/completely outdated stuff, superseded by CategoryHistorical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
PhilosophyOnePage - Everything in CategoryPhilosophy, on one page for easy reading. Personal experiment.
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 33773 total) :
Random page, twice: OsCon / WeeklyMeeting20060419
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.
