CW suggestions: Wording: At the Techno-Galactic Walk-In Clinic you will receive a clear and in-depth session. We guarantee results and efficacy. Commnets: [[I am not quite sure what we get from the guarantee of results and efficacy. I understand the genre that is being referenced with this language and it makes sense if we want to poke a bit of fun at the rhetoric of help desks but I wonder if there is another kind of guarantee that we would more earnestly want to make and/or if we want to indicate that we may have different definitions for "results" and "efficacy." FS OK, liking Peggy's suggestion: 'immediate results'. Also, with the poster it works (in Dutch: Doeltreffend resultaat, even better) -------------- NEDERLANDS Heb je last van software die in de cloud verdwijnt, voel je je gedeprimeerd door ongelijke toegangsprivileges of heb je de indruk dat je door software wordt afgeperst?

[...] Guaranteed expertise in the opening of black-boxes, return of the missing interfaces, [...] Soothing of the user-infrastructure separation, privacy problems, Or, we shall remain puzzled in solidarity. what to bring what to ask range of whos that are invited.. range of observations/stations (just a sketch... inspired by these door to door flyers https://web.archive.org/web/20071021081704im_/http://www.megabambou.com/galerie/flyers/momo-vert.gif ) I like the broadest range of problems that are taken on (from health to love to work to happiness), so to move away from the health-clinic set of analogies and yea there's something very ironic in the contained idea of 'expertise'.. ;) "The clinic—constantly praised for its empiricism, the modesty of its attention, and the care with which it silently lets things surface to the observing gaze without disturbing them with discourse—owes its real importance to the fact that it is a reorganization in depth, not only of medical discourse, but of the very possibility of a discourse about disease." The interwebs says: 1620s, from French clinique (17c.), from Latin clinicus "physician that visits patients in their beds," from Greek klinike (techne) "(practice) at the sickbed," from klinikos "of the bed," from kline "bed, couch, that on which one lies," from suffixed form of PIE root *klei- "to lean.” Law clinics seem to have taken over the “hands on” bit but not the bedside matter: "A legal clinic (also law clinic or law school clinic) is a law school program providing hands-on-legal experience to law school students and services to various clients. Clinics are usually directed by clinical professors.[1] Legal clinics typically do pro bono work in a particular area, providing free legal services to clients. A legal clinic or law clinic is a nonprofit law practice serving the public interest. Legal clinics originated as a method of practical teaching of law school students, but today they encompass also free legal aid with no academic links.[2] There are practice based law clinics with no academic link which provide hands on skills to lawyers,judges and non lawyers on practical ethical dimensions of the law at the same time offer free public defence legal services.[3]" but then come the musicians, and they want to learn from the “patient": "A musical clinic is an informal meeting with a guest musician, where a small-to-medium-sized audience questions the musician's styles and techniques and also how to improve their own skill. The musician might perform an entire piece, or demonstrate certain techniques for the audience to observe. The objective is for the audience to learn from the guest musician. A musical clinic can apply to any type of musical instrument, music or player. The clinics are often held at a musical instrument stores.” I know for sure (having done tool clinics before) that most people associate clinics with the first definition (hospital sick person, doctor etc.) the rest opens up many possibilities but may just remain an insider thing. So, let me know if you still want to continue in this direction and I will tweak the text on the train tomorrow (if you have a later version, i would appreciate it if you would send me an email since i may not be getting on the web as easily). s.
