Update #2 for my house/ learn.cantrill.io HQ move. I've been doing some recording this week in between house moving tasks, so i'm about to upload a pretty large content update - which is exciting. I lodged my order with Aussie Broadband and nbn® Australia for my enterprise Ethernet connection and because its classed as a complex build - i need to have a feasibility study done to confirm there will be no crazy costs. This can take up to 30 days, but it's often done quicker - hoping mine will be on the quicker end so Aussie Broadband can proceed to the actual order stage. (this is the step i think which will control when i actually move and when i start REALLY ramping up content production). I'm praying to the AussieBB and NBN gods on this one.

While I'm waiting for that, I've ordered most of my new recording gear ... desks,  recording gear, sound proofing. I want to make sure once the internet connection is live I can get started straight away.

In other EXCITING news ... I'm going to be working with James Lee in a partnership on some new courses. James will be initially creating the new cloudops course (https://lnkd.in/gY9dkWpq) while I work on another AWS course. I promised everyone that 2026 would bring some serious scaling .. and you won't be disappointed !! more "scaling" information will be coming soon so stay tuned to my feed.

Please help me spread the word on this one. Like, share with your networks and if you have any questions ask in the comments. if you have any questions about what James will be working on or if you want to tell James how awesome he is then be sure to spam him in the comments below :)
