I posted about a week ago that I was back to making content again. There's a bigger story behind why, and that is "I'm moving". I've been recording content in a single room at home for the past five years because of an understanding family and an enterprise Ethernet connection from Aussie Broadband and the nbn® Australia - but recently it's become harder due to outside noise (neighbors and an airport flight path).

In about a month I settle on a new property and so I'm moving (elsewhere in Brisbane) to a larger block of land (less noise/less neighbors) and because it has a few more rooms I can setup 1-2 of them to be dedicated recording and tech spaces - including a full sound proofed recording studio.

There is still a long way to go, and a few weeks of work to make it 100% ready after we move - and the 1-3 months to get a new Enterprise Ethernet connection in once we order it after the xmas/new year change embargo but I hope to be optimally churning out content again in January and once the internet connection is installed it should be much faster to upload everything and move all my onsite hosting to the new place (until we get the enterprise fiber we have a 5G cellular connection where the tower is about 3 minutes walk away!)

I'm excited, I can't wait to be 100% back. Don't worry, I'll be prepping the content and uploading as much as I can between now and then, but I wanted to let everyone know the good news that in Q1 2026 things are going to massively speed up!.

📢 Please help me spread the word to make sure the news reaches everyone who's interested. Click like, tag anyone in the comments who might be interested and share with your networks.📢

🔥If you've reached this far, it's also blackfriday and you can use the code BLACKFRIDAY2025 for 50% off (remember, current customers get even more discount than that! - check your emails recently for more info)🔥
