Guy who started Parentland app... and co-owner of a really nice dog. Feel free to disagree, but if you’re an arsehole about it I’ll block you without blinking.

So we are on track to do squash the curve. Which is fantastic. We just need to keep it up. Don’t relax your social distancing. Stay home. Essential travel only. Discipline and focus are what we need now. Keep going. Every day. #StayHomeNZ

Him: (pause) no the control key Me: Let me see - i have an esc key, an F1 key, an f2 key... I then listed all the keys including a monkey key, a piano key, a leakey key etc etc. This went on for a bit. Only then did I realise he'd hung up. I hope he calls back.

Me (still going): ... my neighbour, their kids, the dog sometimes, and random people wander in from the street and use it. Also... a ghost uses it. I'm not certain of that... but I'm pretty sure a ghost uses it. Him: (pause) Can you see the control key? Me: I have my house key?

Awesome day. A scammer rang me from a Wellington number claiming to be from "Spark" about 'faulty internet'. Him: Its a serious problem. Me: Shit, should I call someone? The army? The police? Him: No, I can help you. Me: Thank god, is that why there is smoke coming from it?

Great advice from Kevin Biggar in this post. His book "The Oarsome Adventures of a Fat Boy Rower" is one of the best I've ever read. Worth reading now in lockdown. Brilliant, funny, and inspiring stuff.

You don't need to come out of lockdown with a clean house, six new skills, perfectly cut fringe, and having lost 5kgs. You need to come out of lockdown without having infected or endangered anyone. That's it. That's your job. Send tweet.
