@counterfitninja Hey mate, yeah… this Twitter thing is still working (for now) 😆

How’s things back in the UK?

NZ is working out nicely. Been chaotic at times (and stressful) but settling down now, and getting back into a normal “routine”.

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

Nope. I wear glasses, and I am guessing this won’t work well for me…

Even if I did want to wear a headset for 8+ hours a day (which I don’t).

[Chris Frantz @frantzfries]

Would you work like this?

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@DaveFleming68 I had only recently discovered that practice of fixed production / unit cost, absolutely shocking. Things need to change, asap.

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

Or maybe…. Just maybe, the UK could go look at how New Zealand does things.

There are alternatives!

We need to utilise shale gas for an independent energy future.

@InsightsMachine @PowerBIAU @Ozeroth @tenfingers Amazing stuff, congratulations!

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@InsightsMachine Really appreciate the support, Jeff!

One of the areas we really like is around Sumner. Absolutely beautiful, even in the middle of monsoon season. 😆

Searching for property in a city you have only just arrived, is not much fun.

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@InsightsMachine We think we know where we want to be… but rentals here move so fast.

One appeared on Friday, booked a viewing for Monday, it was gone by this afternoon (Tuesday). Absolutely wild.

We will find something soon though… 🤞

@InsightsMachine Trying to avoid living out of an Airbnb for the next 6 months.

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@InsightsMachine We had researched prices and locations before we got here, and it looked as though there were lots of options, but we are stuck with renting for now and the process is stressful.

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@InsightsMachine @the_d_mp @JennyBear2007 Haha

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

After a lengthy process, we are moving to New Zealand.

Looking forward to continuing our family journey, down under!

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@InsightsMachine @the_d_mp @JennyBear2007 The brochure promised nothing but sunshine. 😎

I won’t complain though, if I was still in the UK I would be dying of heat, so will take my chances with the rain.

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@InsightsMachine @JennyBear2007 Thanks Jeff, feels great to be here.

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@DaveFleming68 @JennyBear2007 Thanks Dave, appreciate it.

I am yet to speak to anyone who has been to NZ, and didn’t like it.

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@InsightsMachine @JennyBear2007 Just landed in Christchurch.
That journey from the UK is an absolute beast…

But the view this morning was more than worth it.

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

I have been quiet on here for quite some time now. Whilst there are many reasons for this, the biggest one by far is my family’s decision to make a big lifestyle change….

[Matt Calderwood @D4devblog]

@justblindbaek @HavensBI Awesome. Have been digging around in the PBI log analytics data this week, so this is really helpful, thanks!
