Dude, I'm in Greater Wellington as well (on the Kapiti Coast to be more precise)!

Pop over to the other end of SH 58. Bring beer.

You may be the first to test Zoom's concurrency limits in this way... but deep down, I think we all know the answer to the "chaotic" bit.

So long as it's not at some ridiculous rediculace time like 3am, I'm in. (Currently 10 hours ahead of South Africa, will be 11 hours ahead from the last weekend of September when Daylight Savings kicks in.)

Oh Tribble... here's something from your other favourite genre that I know you'll like:

One does not simply walk into Mordor... one just drives up State Highway 1 instead.
And it's not even the biggest volcano in the area. Here's its neighbour:

OK then... (going back 22 years on this one)

Our last active case is now recovered, and given that no new cases have been reported in the past 17 days, we may well have eradicated COVID-19 entirely. We're now moving to Level 1 at midnight, so life returns to something close to what pre-virus normal was: no more social distancing measures or re...

Wake up Tribble!

You sound concerned.

We'll start shipping some more ASAP... We have plenty to spare

Only one active case remains; no new cases for the past 7 days.

Only 8 active cases remaining in NZ. It's very likely that we're close to totally eradicating COVID-19, and in fact may have already done so.

Should have posted this back when NZ permitted the takeaways to re-open (back at the beginning of May), albeit under very strict guidelines relating to physical distancing. McDonalds decided that, in the interests of physical distancing, only the drive-throughs would re-open. The result was inevitab...
