Back to Work — Quick Health Update

Hey everyone,
I’m back at work this week after a rough allergic dermatitis flare-up. It wasn’t pretty, and the doctor had me on strong meds plus strict rest with my legs elevated, which meant it wasn’t safe for me to drive or do onsite work.

I’ve recovered enough now to safely get back into repairs and appointments. Any delays from last week were unavoidable, but everything is back on track. I’ll be contacting anyone with pending jobs to confirm updated timeframes.

Thanks for your patience while I dealt with that mess. Normal service has resumed.

Service Reliability Update — What Went Wrong & What’s Now Fixed

Over the past year a combination of heavy workload, system limitations, and some personal life events caused a few repairs and messages to slip through the cracks. Not ideal, and not what I expect from myself.

So I rebuilt the entire workflow from the ground up.

✔ Every job now gets a proper intake sheet
✔ Every repair goes into Dolibarr — a real CRM/ticketing system
✔ Every step is logged as a ticket note
✔ Automatic email updates
✔ IMEI/serial tracking for all devices
✔ Better suppliers + backup supplier
✔ Multiple freight carriers (AusPost, Toll, TNT) to avoid random delays
✔ Faster turnaround on most repairs
✔ More parts kept in stock
✔ Better communication across the board

One parcel even did a lap through Condobolin before coming back to Forbes… so extra freight carriers were definitely needed.

The problems have been fixed.
The systems are now solid.
And the goal is simple: consistent, accurate, reliable repairs every time.

If you’ve got a device that needs fixing, I’m here and ready to help — properly.

A full update on past repair delays, what caused them, what’s been fixed, and how Small Space IT now delivers faster, more reliable service with better systems.

I’ve had to take today off for a medical appointment. As you know if you can get one in Forbes quickly you take it.

For anyone who uses starlink especially only when travelling or camping using the pause feature then this is an important update to their service.

🚨 Starlink Pause is Changing 🚨

Starlink’s free "Pause" feature is ending. From 13 September 2025, you’ll need to switch to the new Standby Mode if you want to keep your service paused.

Standby Mode costs A$8.50/month and includes:
• Unlimited low-speed data (~0.5 Mbps) for emails, messages, and updates.
• Starlink claims it will provide the ability to stay connected using Wi-Fi calling features on your mobile phone.
• Ongoing software updates to keep your system ready.

⚠️ Important: If you don’t confirm Standby Mode by 13/09/2025, your paused service will be cancelled.

If you only use your Starlink seasonally - for travel, at the holiday home, or on the farm, then this change may impact how cost-effective it is for you.

Need help understanding what this means for your setup?

I’m going home early due to illness. Forgot my heart meds this morning, by the time they kick in it’ll be closing time anyway.

One of the downsides of running a small business is neglecting your health and pushing to get things done.
