Contacting the Wiz!
So you wanna talk to The Wiz? Well, I've got good news! There's a handful of ways you can reach out to me, but I should qualify this with a few FAQs that I get from people from time to time:
- Can you help me fix my broken stuff? Yes, but it depends on what it is and what you need. I'm happy to provide whatever knowledge you want, but my ability to guide your hands through a repair, work one-on-one, or offer consistent support on devices, is very limited. I don't have a lot of time, nor do I have the energy to keep other people's crap running! I can barely keep my own going!
- Can I commission you for graphics or repairs? Sorta? I don't have anything official made up, but I have done some work for others in the past remastering computer graphics, recreating logos, t-shirts and other merchandise, and a lot more. If there's something you want to pitch to me, by all means reach out via the information listed below and I'll see what I can do. I'm all for preserving history or helping with creative exercises. Check out the 'Other Work' tab to see what I've done in the past :-)
- I'm new to old tech stuff. Where do you recommend I start? Start with the software side. Grab an emulator for whatever platform intrigues you and learn the ins and outs of the operating environment and the software that runs on it. Learn the basics of how to navigate the system, configure things, and debug when things inevitably go wrong. Real hardware is unfortunately getting expensive nowadays, but if you know where to look and ask the right people, there's plenty of opportunities for you to get something nice for an equally nice price!
