having worked at Cisco for 16 years. I sort of specialized there in ways to
make deployment, configuration, and management easy and cheap.
I'm also getting into the RF side of things, doing a bit of amateur
radio astronomy with RTL-SDR, and turns out I really like building antennas
of various kinds, so if we want to whip up some high gain yagis or
cantennas, I'm up for it.
I also live in Piedmont partway up the hill, and from my roof I have
have line of site to all of Lake Merritt and a chunk of downtown Oakland,
Emeryville, and into Berkeley. The roof has easy access, and it is easy to
drop cables down from there into my basement/machineroom, so for testing
those long point to point links...
