Computer Technician | Brantford, ON

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I fix computers, untangle technology nightmares, and help folks in Brantford get the most out of their machines.

Whether you're running Gentoo, Ubuntu, or that one operating system we don't talk about (it rhymes with "blindows"), I'm here to help.

My dad taught me that the best solutions are the ones you understand - and I make sure every client walks away knowing exactly what I did and why.

What I Do

[HW]

Hardware Repair

Broken screen? Fried motherboard? Mysterious clicking noises? I diagnose and fix hardware issues with precision and care.

[SW]

Software Support

From OS installations to debugging that weird error message you've been ignoring for months. No judgment, just solutions.

[NET]

Networking Help

Wi-Fi dead zones, router configurations, and making sure your devices actually talk to each other like they're supposed to.

[EDU]

Technology Tutoring

I explain things in plain English. My dad always said if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

OPINIONS

CONTROVERSIAL GAMING OPINION LOADED...

Look, I'm going to say it. The NES is superior to the SNES. Yes, the SNES had Mode 7 and better graphics. But the NES? Pure gameplay innovation. No fluff, no filler - just 8-bit perfection. The SNES is great. The NES is eternal. I will die on this hill, and I will be playing Bubble Bobble while I do it.

BLACK LICORICE: A RANT

Error 404: Taste not found. Who hurt you, black licorice? Who told you that tasting like the essence of disappointment was a valid life choice? I have fixed thousands of computers in my career, but I cannot fix whatever went wrong in the development of black licorice. It tastes like betrayal shaped into rope. My family agrees. My dog agrees. The only thing that likes black licorice is the trash can. Consider this an official anti-tribute to the worst candy in existence. You're welcome, humanity.

OPERATING SYSTEM STATUS

Over the years I've worked with them all. Some earned my respect. Others... well.

Gentoo (Compile time is bonding time) Ubuntu (The reliable friend) OS/2 (Gone but not forgotten) Windows (Trust level: /dev/null)
