Hi,

Is anyone out there willing to give me private org mode support / advice
consultation?  I can pay via pay pal, personal check in the mail or am open
to other payment forms.

Here is the ideal person:

-  very familiar with org-mode
-  low hourly rate
- able to view my desktop remotely
- familiar with mac os-x and its interaction with org-mode
- knowledgeable of unix/linux and emacs
- able to hold my hand while I move from MacMail to terminal mailer such as
one that lives in emacs, mutt, etc.
- available live (e.g. via phone / skype) from a time that significantly
overlaps with approx 10am to 12pm California time (that's approx 6pm to 8am
GMT).
- familiar with GTD workflow / philosophy etc
- proficient in English

You don't have to fit the above perfectly.

If you are interested, please email me back, tell me a little about
yourself.  Send me your resume / CV if easy.  And an estimate of your hourly
rate in US $.

I am a technically proficient research scientist at a major US university.
For example, I am proficient enough in unix to know what "awk -F/, '{print
$1 " " $3}' foo.csv" means or able to transpose a matrix in R and able to
write my own emacs macros.

You might say, hey, rather than pay money, I could post my questions to this
mailing list?  However, etiquette requires due diligence -- searching,
experimentation, manual reading etc *before* posting.  For me, this is a
slow process.  I am finding that these days I just have too many demands on
my time to perform the due diligence.  Result: months go by and I just don't
ask the question and am stuck with using only the simplest of all org-mode
capabilities  I think I have uncovered various bugs but can't report them
because ensuring that they are a bug requires a lot of time.  For this
reason I am hoping to use money to help me break through these time-related
barriers.

Thanks!

Enthusiastic Org-Mode Newbie

p.s. I searched the manual and faq for the word "consult" and also did some
cursory searching on this mailing list before posting.
