Ardmore, Lone Grove, Marietta, Wilson, Davis and the I-35 corridor down to the Red River. A Local Nerd drives to you, or helps remotely when that's faster.
Pick a time, we come to your door, and you agree to the rate before we start. Remote help works too when that's faster.
In person from $110/hr. $39 books it, and the rest is charged when the work is done. Remote help $39 for 30 minutes. Card only, no cash or checks. You agree to the rate before we start.
Ask anything you like. We'll explain what we're doing while we do it.
If it works in one room and not the next, that's a coverage problem and it's fixable. We start by moving things around, before anybody sells you a bigger bill.
New TV set up, streaming apps sorted out, remotes that work, and one clear explanation of which button does what.
The machine that takes four minutes to start, the file that vanished, the update that won't finish. We sort those out and set up a backup while we're there.
We'll slow down or write the steps out for you whenever you ask. Learning it once beats calling somebody every month.
Setting up a new one, moving everything across, photos, passwords, and making the text bigger without breaking anything.
Wireless printers drop off the network all the time. We'll get yours connected, printing and scanning, and explain why it keeps disappearing.
Cameras you can pull up when you need them, a doorbell that rings the right phone, a thermostat that keeps its schedule. We set it up and explain it once.
We'll go through what's on there, get rid of what shouldn't be, and show you how to spot the next one.
The I-35 corridor through Carter and Love counties mixes town neighborhoods, lake places around Lake Murray, and houses on acreage where the nearest neighbor is a quarter mile off. On acreage the job is usually Wi-Fi coverage; for people who split their time between here and somewhere else, it's keeping both places working.
South-central Oklahoma draws retirees, and a fair number moved here from somewhere with different internet, different TV service and different everything. Getting settled with all of it takes time, and we're glad to go slowly.
Our service area is measured in miles from downtown Ardmore, and the hourly rate steps up the farther we drive. That is 59 towns across Oklahoma and Texas, covering Carter, Love, Marshall, Johnston, Murray and Jefferson counties, plus Cooke and Montague counties in Texas.

Yes. We go at your pace and explain things in everyday words. If you'd like to learn to do it yourself, say so when you book.
Yes, if broken means slow, glitchy, locked out, or won't do what it did last week. We don't open machines up to replace parts, and we don't recover data off a dead drive. When that's the problem, we say so and don't bill you for finding it out.
What opens a market is a Local Nerd who knows the area, likes people, and is good at explaining things. Set your own availability, keep the majority of every booking, and help your neighbors. See what being the Local Nerd in Ardmore involves or apply here.
