Hey friends 👋
I’ve been putting a lot of work into building my business page Techtivate 🚀.
I’d love your support — please jump over, give it a follow, and share it around. Cheers, Richard

✈️ Off to Melbourne, Perth, Dunsborough, Perth and Melbourne for the next two weeks on a “workcation” (minus the vacation part).

Agenda includes:
💻 EDR installs (keeping the cyber-baddies out)
🪟 Windows 11 upgrades (because apparently Windows 7 isn’t “retro cool” anymore)
🛠️ Proactive maintenance (aka turning things off and back on… but professionally).

Excited to help our clients stay secure while I live out of a suitcase, eating Maccas for breakfast and forgeting which city I’m in. Wish me luck 🤞😂

Stay tuned for a new Residential Cyber Protect membership which is coming soon this year.

Plenty of wins in Perth — from EDR installs keeping the cyber-baddies out, to Windows 11 upgrades and proactive maintenance that kept everything humming. A solid stretch of work (fueled by Maccas breakfasts and suit case living. Also managed to sneak in a catchup with mates on Friday night to watch Adelaide become the first minor premiers to bow out of finals in straight sets in over forty years, with North Melbourne the last side to do so in 1983.

✈️ Next stop: Melbourne
Keeping the momentum rolling to finish this “workcation” strong — more upgrades, more security, and more clients looked after before heading home.

Stay tuned — our Residential Cyber Protect membership is still on track to launch later this year 👀

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great break which I bet feels like months ago now :) Its been a while since we've posted on the Techtivate page due to our travels last year, but this year Techtivate is back to full time so please stay tuned for more posts and updates about IT related matters.

As mentioned in my previous news letter in January, Windows 10 is being retired this October. It's super imporant to have a plan for this if you are still using Windows 10. If you need help with anything related to this event then please don't hesitate to give me a call, mess or email.
