Looking at WickedWords new posting for writing services made me wonder...
Is there any interest in a seasoned tech vet providing services to vendors (and maybe even users) here?
I could provide actual troubleshooting and fixing, as well as planning services and other advice.
No, I'm not going to send you my resume.
Suffice to say I've been with many of the names you'd know in a very senior tech capacity.
If this sounds interesting to you, drop a reply!

For now, why not reply to this thread and I'll start by giving some hints/tips/suggestions right here ...
If you have a question, throw it out there!

Tech support relating to what? SQL management? Sys administration? Would you be able to help with some problems I'm having compiling a few UNIX scripts?
Your post is quite vague
-
Fractal,
Very good point, yes, tech support is a wide subject.
I'm not an expert on everything (who is) but I HAVE done an awful lot.
I imagine there are a number of common simple things I could offer help with at a fairly quick speed, hence if I charged, a very low cost.
Things like SQL tuning, script creation (compiling is different from creation as I would suspect you are aware ... and scripts aren't a compiled language anyway, that is, they aren't worked into a machine code bundle run as a single program), and sysadmin tasks, those can be a bit more to a lot more complex.
Did you have anything in mind? I'm scoping this as I go along, so your question is a very apt one!
Thanks!

Only just spotted this, Refyned - thought I might as well stick in my 2uBtc worth!
I think it's an awesome idea.
Perhaps if you ever get this going, people would simply be able to request support via PM, then providing you are able to help, they could go ahead and order - and to help things even further, every time you agree to a support request, create a general listing in the area it was requested, to show future folk who are looking for help that you do provide it.
(Does that make sense? I'm tired and slightly high at the same time, but I'm sure it will - you're very perceptive)

Do you operate any trawlers? You could sell their data.

IBDriver -- THANKS!!! Great way to start the biz. I'm gonna keep that one firmly in mind.
As for operating trawlers, I'm for keeping people's data OUT of the hands of EVERYONE. I've stopped signing in to Google and the like, knowing I'm trading convenience for privacy.
Sorry ... but data / web trawling makes my skin crawl.
