@drkknits WHOA – THAT’S HUGE. Also, I can now SMS you for free. This is a slippery slope indeed.


@drkknits Set up FaceTime and call me on it! VIDEO CHAT OF THE FUTURE.


@drkknits My most used: Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Hangouts, Toodledo (to do list), TripView (real time bus/train data), Flipboard…


@drkknits Instagram, Weather AU, Consume (tells you how much data/credit you’ve used for Telstra, etc)


@drkknits Touch the app icon and hold. They’ll all start jiggling and there will be an X to delete. You can also drag around in this view.


@drkknits Click home button to stop jiggling/edit mode.


@drkknits No worries. I’m at home for a few more hours today so feel free to hit me up with questions!


@drkknits Do you have username/password for Telstra site yet? You basically give it that and it scrapes from there.


@drkknits Mine is Telstra (Postpaid). Yours might be different if you’re 3G


@drkknits Settings -> General -> Usage -> Mobile Usage will also keep track of how much you’ve downloaded. But you have to reset manually.


@drkknits So I just prefer checking with Consume. Telstra are also good about sending SMS when you get close to limit now.


@drkknits Also, set up Find My Phone at some point: http://t.co/qCqfPLMEDu. This will allow you to find it if it’s lost/stolen.


@drkknits Ah. You might not need Consume then! I didn’t realise they had a nice mobile site nowadays.


@drkknits Did you port your number, or get a new one?


Just had first official FaceTime and iMessage chat with @drkknits. IT’S A WHOLE NEW WORLD, PEOPLE. SHE LIKES IT!


@redambition Isn’t Flickr Pro going away?


@drkknits You didn’t even Instagram it. Fail.


@drkknits Have you tried out Siri yet? I mostly use it for “Is it going to rain?” and “What’s 350 Fahrenheit in Celsius?”


@drkknits Just hold your home button down til it dings, then ask your question!


@drkknits No, Siri shows a little microphone icon. Maybe some setting is different on yours. Dig around in the Settings a bit…


@drkknits Technically you’re not supposed to go iPod -> iTunes, as it’s a way to share your music with all your friends.


@drkknits That said: http://t.co/y3x314SnqM


@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Yep. You might need to turn it on though. If you’re on iPad, you need to tell FaceTime to use your email address


@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes …as your iPad doesn’t know your phone number. Same for iMessage.


@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Just go into Settings -> Facetime and make sure it’s turned on and hooked up to both methods.


Meeting my new boss! (@ Mi9) http://t.co/CCdoCg4GE8


Meet-up with @knitterjp… (at @MaxBrenner Chocolate Bar) http://t.co/x8ip6xj6ig


FUUUUUU. Our power just died. Anybody else in Chippo? @mpesce?


On the plus side, the 250 tea lights I have randomly stockpiled from IKEA are finally coming in handy.


@mpesce The lights are still on the other side of Moorgate. Maybe it’s very localised. Definitely our whole block.


I hope my slow cooker pea soup was done cooking. I guess I might as well eat it – it’s not gonna stay warm!


@mpesce @DrMiaow Friend in building on Buckland reporting her place is dead too.


@drkknits Nah. That is the one failing of Old Reader. Hoping they rectify soon. I just use web version, but it’s not great.


@ausgrid Power is out in Chippendale! What’s going on? Any ETA?


So just to reiterate, @the_snook is in a warm pub eating pizza with Googlers. I’m in cold dark house with two cats who will eat me.


BEHOLD! I tweet to @ausgrid and TWO SECONDS LATER THE POWER COMES BACK ON!


@Ausgrid It just came back! I knew invoking you via Twitter would work. 🙂 Thank you…


@iain_chalmers @mpesce @DrMiaow Mine’s back!


It’s alarming how quickly my brain jumps from “power outage” to “zombie apocalypse”. I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO WEAVE BASKETS YET!


RT @Ausgrid: @web_goddess Wish it always worked like that.


@pixel8ted I’m already booked into a class. I just had to reschedule last month due to illness.

@witty_knitter I hope they bury him with that lovely striped jumper. 🙂
