  • Feasting on Fiddlehead

    Feasting on Fiddlehead – I’ve never had fiddlehead, but they look so amazing! It’s a very seasonal, regional food, isn’t it?

    @drkknits OOH, nice!


    FFS Facebook. Why am I still getting push notifications about people checking places? I have that TURNED OFF. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THEM.

    Holy crap. Paper piecing has defeated me in a way that rarely happens. It feels like 7th grade algebra.

    @glittertrash DPNs are so annoying. I never use ’em. I always do the two-circulars method for everything!


    @glittertrash It can do any size tube: thumbs, socks, sleeves, hats, you name it. Google “socks on two circulars”. That’s how I learned.


    @glittertrash There’s also the “Magic Loop” technique, which is very similar but just uses one long circ.


    @konterkariert @joshprice @nolim1t But I love my Toodledo already. Is Clear’s UI really worth switching?


    @konterkariert But I’m a To Do list power user. Usually have 100+ items in several cats and sub-projects. I don’t think Clear supports that.

    Why aren’t there native OSX ports of Dia and Gimp? I like them, but god they’re ugly in X11. I’d pay for nicer versions.


    @henrytapia But I’d pay! There’s gotta be a business opportunity there. @the_snook thinks it’s rather a technical limitation.


    @that_alison Heh. I don’t knit ’em; I sew them from pre-made socks. But regardless – no way. 😀


    Watching Whirlpool discussion about Internet outage and laughing at geeks losing their shit. (Confession: I miss Facebook already.)


    @gilmae The whole internets was broken for a lot of Australia for the past hour or so: http://t.co/IojLtPET. Not for you?


    Internet seems to be working again, both on my iPhone (Telstra) and in the office (iiNet). Phew. Crisis averted.

    Super excited that we got a booking for the Game of Thrones dinner at Gastro Park for my BIRTHDAY next month! http://t.co/c6NtrK3A


    @imdominating I am somewhat hoping they bring me a big birthday HORSE HEART to gnaw on dramatically.

    @blakkat They just keep bringing things around to your table. You don’t even have to get up! It’s awesome.


    @blakkat When I was there, they gave you a little red/green disc you could flip to indicate if you wanted food or a break. 🙂


    @blakkat The one on William Street. They’re very trendy now. Also been to Wildfire at Circ Quay years ago, and Ola Rio in Chippo recently.


    @jenbishopsydney Lovely! You must thank yourself. 🙂

    @codepo8 I get them too (but for $75 AUD). I just bin ’em. I can’t be bothered.


    Hey @lemon_lime: This is so for you. Banana Republic’s new Mad Men collection: http://t.co/qykppCpd


    @lemon_lime Seriously, I could see you wearing (and working the hell out of) that dude’s exact outfit.


    @Gin_ev_ra http://t.co/WyjLaogw is useful in these cases. 🙂


    @imdominating Awesome. I wish it got cold enough here to wear big warm stompy boots.


    The cookies went over very well. 🙂

  • CATatelier by CatAtelier on Etsy

    CATatelier by CatAtelier on Etsy – BRILLIANT. Everything about this is brilliant. Why won’t my stubborn-ass cats let me dress them up? Personal favourites: the top hat, the strawberry tie, and the James Bond open collar.
