Experienced, professional computer technician :: Mac & Windows
•Software and hardware support. (i.e. error messages you don’t understand or a faulty network card)
•Lots of people are giving Macs a try. If you’d like to join them AND take your files/email with you, I can help you do this.
•Laptop and PC repair and tune-ups
•Printer installation/setup (including wireless printing)
•Wireless internet (WiFi)
- Securing of insecure networks
- General problems
- Range extending
•Tuition (for example, safe web browsing habits; Word processing; e-mail; using a Mac et c.)
•Personalised email (i.e. you’d prefer a more individual address than @hotmail, @yahoo or @BT!)
•eBay sales management. Would you like to sell on eBay but are intimidated by the whole thing? Let me help you.
•Website/blog updates/troubleshooting. Would you like a new page for your existing site? Updated content? Error message you don’t understand? I can help. I can also build sites from the ground-up if you provide design instruction.
•Virus and spyware removal. Plagued by a virus or troubled by invasive spyware? I can probably remove the infestation without needing to wipe the whole system. If a wipe is necessary, I’ll ensure any disruption is kept to an absolute minimum.
•RAM upgrades. Computer running slowly? Often the computer is suffering from a deficit of memory. A new RAM chip is the kind of affordable upgrade from which you can truly observe a benefit. Not just money down the drain!
•Internet connection not working? I’ll find out if the problem is at your end or your ISPs, and work quickly to get you back online.
•Receiving a lot of email spam? I can almost certainly reduce and hopefully nearly totally stop it reaching your inbox.
I.T. Support for home & small businesses
How/what do I charge:
I charge in 6 minute increments. My hourly rate is £30, so if I’m needed for half an hour the charge would be £15. Visits outside of central York usually incur a mileage charge. The cost of equipment/parts obviously come in addition to this.
Portfolio:
•Website for Vidaråsen Village, Norway.
•Website for York Alexander Technique School.
•A short film produced for the Norwegian Study Centre together with David T Fjågesund.
•Website for York Centre for Classical Acupuncture.
•The practical element of my MSc thesis is also online.
