Yep, I'm available during the day, and evenings. Though I do have some other committments - but these periods are known and can be worked around. (I'm teaching some continuing ed courses at UofC). I've always assumed timing to be a juggling act, with a need to prioritize issues (i.e. server down issues get handled before a workstation config issue).
With regards to billing, I'm flexible, but generally charge in the neighborhod of $60/hour. I also believe in fair billing - I don't usually bill for the "chat" time that happens occasionally (i.e. If I'm on site for 2 hours, but we spend 30 minutes talking about vacation plans, then I would only bill for 1.5 hours... though this is not written in stone...) With regards to skills, I know Linux well enough to know where to get the info I need to solve an issue. Most of the usual type issues I'd be able to handle right away. I've been out of the Windows Networking world for a while, but haven't seen any great changes there (still manage a couple Win2K servers). I'm experienced with Samba, PostgreSQL, Apache, MSSQL, IIS, Cold Fusion, Exchange, etc... HTH.
