Hey T,

I've just got back on after being off for quite a while getting life things sorted out.  I'm a former Chief Technology Officer with decades of programming and technology experience.  I know own my own professional photography studio but would like to help out if I can find something that I would be able to do and fit into my schedule.  Let me know if you are still looking/need/want assistance.

Best,
Randy

In the past I have worked in IT, mostly regarding Operating Systems, Servers and Software Development. Among other things, I am a certified Linux System Admin and used to host my own website on my own servers (apache or httpd) on linux boxes. Also, I used to write in HTML and some embedded code in Javascript. It has been some time though, so I am kind of rusty. 

Let me know if I can be of any assistance. 

Sincerely,

While I do have a background in IT, "it has passed me by".  When I need to figure out, for example,  how to turn up the sound up on my Iphone, I try to find a 13 year old, who does it immediately.    Still, no matter which phone I get, I can barely hear any of them.  I turn my to "speaker", and it helps some, but its not really adequate to fully hear or undertand most conversations, "especially" when the speaker has a high voice, such as a grandchild, or has a foreign accent, or if there is background noise.   That means I can rarely hear on the phones, most of the time. 

It should be a simple thing to turn up the sound, but no.  

I got a phone with close captions, but that doesnt work well either.
