FixedBit Technologies

Empowering Your World with Tailored Tech Solutions

Hi, I’m Jason Hawks, the founder of FixedBit Technologies. I also go by Coal Edge in Second Life. I’m here to help you with all kinds of technical solutions, whether it’s for your home, business, or virtual world projects. My goal is to make sure everything works the way you need it to, no matter where you’re starting from.

Who I Am

I’ve been working with technology for over 20 years. During that time, I’ve helped people and businesses solve problems, build systems, and make the most of their tech. I’m all about finding practical solutions that work for you, whether you’re trying to set something up from scratch or fix an issue that’s been holding you back.

I want anyone I help to feel confident and prepared when I’m done. Whether it’s a one-time project or ongoing support, my focus is on making sure you’re in a good place to move forward.

Real-World and Internet Solutions

Web Development

• I specialize in WordPress because it’s the best foundation to build on. I can help you find the right theme and tools to fit your needs.
• If your website needs custom code, I’ve got you covered. I work with PHP, Laravel, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to make sure your site runs smoothly.
• If you already have a website, I can help update it, fix issues, or reconfigure it so it’s secure, modern, and ready for the future.

Server Management and Hosting

• I can set up and configure servers for data centers or help you host things right from your own home.
• If you’re running into issues with an existing setup, I can troubleshoot and optimize it to make sure it’s running the way it should.
• Whether you need a Linux server, Docker environment, or something more custom, I’ll create a solution that works for you.

Networking and Smart Home Systems

• I can help you automate your home with tools like Home Assistant, smart sensors, and self-hosted voice assistants.
• Need help connecting devices like printers, cameras, or other peripherals? I’ll make sure everything is set up and working.
• If your network needs fixing or upgrading, I’ll make it faster, more secure, and easier to use.

Virtual World Consulting

Second Life Solutions

Second Life is where I have the most experience in virtual worlds. Here’s what I can do:

• I specialize in custom scripting, automation, and other advanced systems. If you need something built from scratch or an existing solution updated, I’m your person.
• I can help with managing and setting up regions or estates, whether you’re running a community, a business, or just need help getting organized.
• If you’re new to content creation or avatar customization, I can guide you. I’ll show you how to get started with mesh, scripting, and how everything works together.
• If you need to manage data in Second Life or connect it to systems outside the platform, I’ve got the tools to make that happen. I can preserve your data, store it externally, or set up in-world storage using experiences or linkset data.

Other Virtual Worlds

I don’t just work in Second Life. I can help with solutions on other virtual platforms too:

• I’ll help you figure out what tools you need to get the job done, whether that means custom code or just finding the right products to use.
• I can troubleshoot, optimize, and set up systems for any virtual project you’re working on.
• If you need custom images for roleplay, I can create things like marriage certificates, birth certificates, or community-specific items like driver’s licenses.
