"Applying technology appropriately" is an attempt to sum up my aims, whether it be in mending computers, maintaining language translation equipment or designing a wasp killer. My desire is to find solutions to technical problems which are useful but not "over the top."
I will tackle most issues to do with "IBM PC compatible" computers, including networking, trouble shooting, building bespoke systems or just offering advice. Older and novice clients are welcome.
I am Operations Manager for a village broadband club - we share broadband connections wirelessly around the village.
I am keen on promoting free and open source software such as Open Office and Firefox, and have made a small contribution in this area myself through NBWiki. I am reasonably competent in setting up and trouble shooting Linux systems. With Linux, many older PCs can be given a new lease of life even as support for the most common PC Operating System is withdrawn. Indeed, Linux is worth considering for new PCs also - at least one major manufacturer has committed to offering it.
Originally in order to aid the work of a growing group of Churches I developed and now hire out systems for use by language translators (interpreters) in small and large meetings.
