The Computer Doctor Is In
from the he-should-at-least-charge-$0.25 dept
What's an out of work techie in Silicon Valley to do with his spare time? Well, one of them has decided that in order to get some attention for his computer-fixing skills, he'll open up a free computer help shop in a coffee house. After helping the coffee house owners get their own computer hooked up to a high speed internet line, they're letting him "set up office" at the back bar, where he's helping anyone with computer problems for free. The idea is that doing so will get him enough attention to get paying gigs. In the meantime, he gets to hang out in a nice coffee shop that has free internet access (thanks to his own handiwork).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
