    Servicing a Hyundai Getz

    My holiday project for the Christmas / New Year Break was to complete a full service on the Hyundai Getz. A vehicle, I’ve had since it had 10,000 km on the clock. It’s now at 91k and I’ve maintained it myself since about 30k. Now, I’m all for going to a mechanic to get the…

  • Choosing a Solar installer

    Earlier this year I was watching a new documentary from Craig Reucassel, The Fight for Planet A: The Climate Challenge.

    Tanglewood Acoustic Guitar Repair

    I’m three weeks into work for the new year and it’s going steady so far. I’ve been enjoying my rides into work, despite the terribly hot and stormy weather. Though, I’m very grateful for the rain Townsville has been receiving this past week. So, a few things have been happening, I’ve serviced my bicycles and…

  • Putting my Handy Man skills to work

    It’s been almost a month since I last posted here! I do have a reason though! I have been quite busy with Uni. I’ve been completing a 2500 word report for Uni, which I handed in on Friday. So, that’s been a huge burden off my shoulders. Now, I just need to complete a 40-minute…

  • Travelling for Work

    So, this week has turned out to be a bit of an adventure. I’ve been working but have been sent off on a conference to Brisbane. So, I’m writing this post from the Brisbane Domestic Airport in Queensland, Australia. The conference I attended is one that is for school technician’s in state schools. There were…

This semester I was enrolled in two subjects COIT20248 (Professional Skills in Information Communication and Technology) and PPMP2008 (Initiating and Planning Projects). So, it’s now week 3, and I can say, lots…
