I'm that lucky fiancee :D

 

Why would I be angry? I'm flattered, he is nice, lovely. He's beautiful. Anyone who knows him will say that :)

 

I'm the lucky one who gets to spend my entire life with him, and share his bed;) :rolleyes::love:

I'm currently very very short on cash - so much so that I'm trying to raise money to buy food with. Therefore, I'm offering out my services to anyone who needs computer/internet related help.

 

I'm a Software Engineering honours graduate with years and years worth of experience maintaining and fixing computers and computer networks as well as solving other people's problems (ran a business doing it at University). I currently work for a broadband ISP in Sheffield.

 

SO.. I can help you with almost any problem you have, whether it's virus removal, re-installation of your computer, hardware problems/installation, problems connecting to the Internet, problems setting up your e-mail, or domain name or website, or maybe you just have a problem with your ISP and don't know the best way to deal with them, whether you need someone to come out, or just some remote help, I'm your man!

 

I will happily quote anyone a price by phone, SMS, e-mail, on this message board or by PM. It can't hurt to call! If I come out and can't fix your problem, the call-out cost's a fiver to cover my petrol.

 

Well.. what are you waiting for?

 

07775 791 233 for SMS/Phone - SMS any time, but please do not call between 9&6 Monday to Friday.

 

alkatraz@eqla.demon.co.uk for e-mail.

 

I'm not being nasty or anything- but why should people pay you for advice when we can ask someone in the know on here for free and get the help we need? :)

 

No offence intended again of course!

 

If you have a specific service in mind fair enough ie: disc duplication, vhs to dvd conversions etc.. but what you seem to be doing is getting people to pay you for help that can be gained for free by coming on here and posting their problems.

 

Thats the point of the SF :thumbsup:

I'm not offering cash for advice.. my advice is free.. I'm offering to actually do the work necessary to resolve a problem that someone does not have the time, money or knowledge to resolve.

 

EG - This week, someone had a computer where Windows was getting half way through loading and then restarting constantly and wasn't sure what to do. I came out checked it out.. checked the hardware, found the problem was with the drive.. and after some work left them with a working computer with full internet access back in place and everything hunky-dory. They could have spent ages trying to resolve the problem and found alternate internet access to get advise and try things for days, not necessarily getting anywhere.. or they could pay through the nose for a computer shop.. or they could bung me a single note to do the job there and then that day.. which they did. And they were very happy to have done so.

 

Or as an alternate example, maybe you have a fault with your internet access and your ISP's support line has not been helpful and has been sending you back and forth looking for a problem. Given that I know the industry inside-out, I can come out.. check everything.. bringing spare parts to test with and some extra software and if I can prove (done within 30 mins generally) that the problem is not your side I can call the ISP on your behalf and make them investigate properly talking to them on their level.

 

Etc etc..

 

Sometimes it's just easier to give me some quick cash to solve your problem immediately rather than waste time and money with other solutions. All the advice you get before, during or after is free!
