Welcome!
Welcome to coreykeating.com! This is my personal website to share with you different aspects of my life, along with photos and links to my other websites.
The picture you see above was taken in 2004 at Comox BC (on Vancouver Island in Canada) when Jeanette and I were doing a week-long sailing trip in Desolation Sound, British Columbia. Please see the Photos page if you want to see some photos taken from that trip.
"2010 Short Term Mission/ Working Vacation" in Poland - July-Aug. 2010
This year the Greater Europe Missions has invited us back again in the summer of 2010 for their Annual Conference in Poland. I will put the blog address here once plans are firmed up.
In order to be able to more efficiently provide technical support for mssionaries in an on-going way, we have formed the non-profit Mark Five organization. You can read more about the meaning, mission, and projects of Mark Five here this website.
Previous years' Short Term Mission/Working Vacations - Hungary 2008, Czech Republic 2009
In 2008, four of us (associated with Corban College in Salem, OR ) traveled to Sopron, Hungary, (in August, 2008) for a week to provide technical support for the Greater Europe Missions annual conference. It was a great trip and a fantastic opportunity to use our technical support skills to serve the Lord. For a journal and pictures of our trip, please see our blog here: thehungaryproject.blogspot.com . You can see my pictures of the trip in the Photos section of this site.
In 2009, five of us provided Tech Support for the missionaries' laptops; Jeanette and 2 others provided child care to the 3 to 5 year-old children (while the missionaries are in conference sessions). You can read about it at our 2009 blog at: http://gemac2009.markfive.org/
Other Interests and Information
One of my other areas of interest and study is computer security (see tab for page on left). (I am currently working on my Ph.D. in computer information systems with a concentration in computer security.) I also recently started the “Computer Security Northwest” (www.computersecuritynw.com) website to provide security related info. Please also see the tab on Computer Security Tips to see a list of "Essential Security Measures for Home Computers".
Another area of interest is Biblical Greek. I have a bachelor’s degree in Classical Studies (Latin and Greek languages, history, culture, etc) and a Master of Arts degree in Biblical Studies. I have taught Greek at the college level for about 6 years. I maintain a website that provides resources for learning New Testament Greek. The site is www.ntgreek.org.
Obviously this site has just started and I will be adding more info here in the future. I welcome your feedback and questions about me, learning Greek, or any security related issue. You can email me at "corey at coreykeating dot com". Cheers! Corey.

Essential Security Measures for Home Computers. This gives an overview of necessary security technologies and practices for every computer user and has an addendum with further suggestions for small business owners. Please also see the ComputerSecurityNW.com site for other issues related to computer security and disaster recovery, such as a simple method for backing up home computers.
