Uncle Shane’s storm cleanup service

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

If you’re in South East Queensland and need a man with a chainsaw, tip truck, kanga or small excavator, my brother in law Shane has all of those and more and is on the lookout for work at the moment.

He’s based at the Sunshine Coast but will go just about anywhere so give him a call.

Recycle your old product with Netgear

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Netgear have a recycling program where you can send in any brand of old product free of charge to be recycled when you purchase a new Netgear product. Details at http://www.netgear.net.au/recycle/

Procedure wise just pack up the old unit, fill out the form which generates a reply-paid label then drop it in the post.

On receipt, Thiess Services (the recycling company) will separate out the heavy and ferrous metals and plastics to be melted down and made into new stuff. Brilliant!

Thumbs up to Netgear!
