  • Darby and Joan

    I had never heard the term Darby and Joan before, but yeah. That’s pretty much me and the Snook in a nutshell. We were Darby and Joan from Day One of our relationship. (Link courtesy of Gael.)

  • BA Resources

    Just found an excellent video explaining use cases in a simple, straightforward way. I write a lot of use cases as part of my job as a BA, so if you ever wondered what I do, this will give you an idea. The same person has more than 90 other videos on object-oriented programming and UML diagrams. It looks like it covers a lot of the stuff I did in my training course last year. Good resource!

    Found the shoes I wanted at Kumfs! Actually attractive! Seemingly impossible task accomplished.


    Snook’s homebrew is potent. One pint and I’m down for the count.


    @shanea It was a double batch. We’ve got plenty. Have you moved to the neighbourhood yet?

    I’m entering @Crust_Pizza #Crustfreepizzafriday because I’m too lazy to cook. And pizza is good.


    My new shoes: http://twitpic.com/y3j4s (And yes, I cuffed my jeans today to show them off better. Shameless, really.)


    These are the shoes, if you’re so inclined: http://bit.ly/4EEf6I (@yourshoesdaily @liedra @zephyrama)


    @DianneKing Nah, there’s a shop here in Sydney. Not cheap: $220. But I’ve had Kumfs before and they’re good quality. Last for years.


    @lelak Ooh, I like the Vibrams. Been thinking about it. I’ve been running in Newtons for a few months now…


    Excellent video explaining use cases: http://bit.ly/4VVaS0. There are a whole bunch more BA/OO/UML videos here: http://bit.ly/6malEb.

  • RunningBlog: Week 2

    Onwards and upwards. I’m meeting my goal of running four times a week, and this week I managed an itsy bit farther. We’ve had a run of hot weather, and it’s really hard to maintain pace and stay within my aerobic heart rate zone on hot and humid days. I also had my first circuit training session of the year at Spudds yesterday. (I was definitely feeling it on my run this morning.) Let’s look at the weekly totals:

    Jan 8: 5.3km
    Jan 10: 6.56km
    Jan 12: 5.4km
    Jan 14: 5.5km
    Total this week: 22.6km (14mi)
    Total in 2010: 44.9km (27.8mi)

    I’m working on a new running-related secret project… which I’ll hopefully unveil this weekend. Stay tuned!

  • Barbie’s New Career

    Barbie is getting a new career, and “Computer Engineer” is one of the options. Go vote for it! If for no other reason than I myself would love to have a Computer Engineer Barbie.

  • Newtown Hotel Renovation

    Proposed Newtown Hotel renovation. Nice. As the Snook pointed out, “1st floor verandas would be a great solution to the lack of street tables for King St cafes and pubs. The footpaths are too narrow and filled with pedestrians.”

    @eileenDCoE Still keepin’ tabs on you… I bet she orders you to do some recycling. šŸ™‚


    My pretty new wallet: http://twitpic.com/xv6vm Thanks to those who suggested Strandbags. It was on sale!


    Wedding ring + rowing machine = OUCH! http://twitpic.com/xvgee Lesson learned.


    @bellsknits Most of the sale ones were pretty cheap looking. The nice leather ones were all $50+. Luckily this one was marked down to $35!


    @witty_knitter St. Brigid waits for no injury. I shall persevere. (At least I’m using red wool. Will hide the blood.)


    @ozgamer Ha, yeah, I’m in. šŸ™‚
