Computer Consulting

I'm located in South Perth and I do repairs / upgrades / consulting for Windows PCs and small networks. Operating systems I support are: Windows XP, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 & Windows 95. I'm not yet familiar with Vista, nor can I assit with Linux or the Macintosh, sorry.

My rates are as follows:

  • Base rate: $60/hour. (In 15 minute blocks.)
    If you're more than 30 minutes drive from Perth city, then there is a minimum charge of 1 hour.
  • Phone support: $30/hour (For calls over 15 minutes in duration. Only available to existing customers.)
  • The "Base rate" is typically for a call out to fix a sickly PC. If you're after other consulting services, such as product or process recommendations the rate is negotiable.

I specialise in old hardware and will help you make the most of what you've got. I can recommend and implement strategic upgrades that will bring you the most value for your money.

Technical Background

Most recently I was responsible for the management of IT resources for; 20 full-time staff, 80 sessional staff & 1,200 students. This was a total of approx. 200 PCs including half a dozen servers. This role also included database development, mostly using php and mysql.

Shop

I sell a range of things at various times. eBay is my major outlet, and retro video games are my major stock item. Other things you can, or will be able to, purchase include "Macquariums", sports cassette players turned into iPod cases and "interactive fiction" books (Choose Your Own Adventure, Fighting Fantasy, et al).

(Board)Game Design

I'm currently working on a small number of games that use the existing games systems of; Icehouse, piecepack & Stonehenge. The sidebar on my Looney Labs Fans page lists some of my early work. My first Stonehenge game should be released soon with some accompanying fiction.
