I make the Internet at @TheLogicStudio, run @GetBoxkite, drink coffee, and sometimes ride my bike up hills.

Apparently being the single most disrupted airport in the world, being in a state of emergency and official advice to avoid travel isn’t enough to get @Qantas to rebook me to connect through AKL tomorrow. Wild.

Wellington our most disrupted airport right now. Winds at 34 knots, gusting to 46 with rain and low clouds not helping with flights today.

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

Apparently there is some flexibility, but you have to ask the same question 8 different ways to get there.

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

Today I learned that Air NZ's compassionate fares must be flown within 7 days of death. If a service is being held two weeks out, you pay full price.

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

@maknz Also congratulations on not disengaging 🎉

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

Seriously though, at surely having several million tired/grumpy NZers driving around its a far greater risk to life than “strong currents and surges”

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

@maknz Sorry can’t reply right now, off for my morning surf in the pitch darkness

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

That seems unnecessary

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

@Becs Huh, weird. Mine is on silent and volume zero and it went. My kid’s one was on DnD and it went. Wonder how your one decided not to.

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

@Becs I feel like my iPh (which is always on silent) used to behave like that so maybe Apple changed something. We had 3 going off in unison.

There’s no new pope in Dunedin

@JoeLawry Nice. I know nothing about drones but was impressed watching it track down at whatever insane speed those cars were doing

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

@JoeLawry You were flying the drone that tracked everyone down from the brow there?

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

Preliminarily at mag 6.9. That's a decent jiggle. Off the coast a decent amount though and fairly deep.

Useful. @AdobeCare Creative Cloud thinks I'm signed in 9 times on my desktop and 3 times on my laptop, so I can't actually use the extraordinarily expensive software I pay for.

@maknz @ahmadnz @stevebiddle ATR: At least it’s not Boeing

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

@maknz @ahmadnz @stevebiddle It’s not so bad if you take the daytime flights. Just the morning/evening ATR they ream you. Also you have to go on an ATR.

[Ian Simpson @IanTLS]

@stevebiddle @ahmadnz I was looking at an international route in June (coming home at the start of the holidays so shouldn’t be competing with families) and premium economy is cheaper than economy. Wut.
