  • New design!

    Wow, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Several months ago I commissioned a new header from Matt over at Scrubbles. (In exchange I’m knitting him a custom scarf.) Isn’t it fantastic? Feels like a whole different vibe. I also love the retro, half-alien half-Samantha-from-Bewitched portrait he drew of me. I’m still tweaking link colours and stuff, so let me know if you find anything that looks odd.

    Note: You may need to do a control-refresh to grab the new version of the stylesheet. If you’re seeing a non-white background, you’ve still got the old version.

    On my way to the Blue Mountains to visit the Knitters Guild in Blaxland. Weee!

    Merrin has a bell to start her meetings! I want a bell!

    Great meeting! Blue Mountains group was very welcoming. My “Knitternet” presentation went really well; lots of good questions & discussion.

  • Great to see you!

    Great to see you! LOVE IT. Will Arnett is so awesome. I wondered at first if it was wierd for Amy Poehler to stand there while her husband made out with another dude on the street, but then I figure that actors have to deal with their partners making out with other people all the time. Plus she probably thought it was as awesome as I did.

    @witty_knitter Optus want to charge users $10/month to use data they’re already paying for (via laptop tethering). This is a way around it.

    And just like that, I’ve reached my daily limit for arguing with racist, homophobic little boys. Sometimes I wonder why I bother!

    Normally my handknits get a few comments. But today’s giant Grandpa cardie w/ intarsia map-of-the-world? Not a peep. Maybe they’re scared.

    I love it when a plan comes together!

    @falkonfly Not Scary! Just daggy. šŸ™‚ http://bit.ly/2MFxt

    Optus processed unlock request in less than 2 business days! Lesson: get girl to call & work the charm. (Now to procure iPhone 3G Sā€¦)

    @AusVintageGrrl That’s the plan… Heh heh. (It all hinges upon him being able to find a pre-paid 3GS somewhere. Might be tricksy.)

    Harris Farm Broadway’s new deli has chicken breast for $6.99/kg! Also, they’ve hired some cute new guys as spruikers. Shopping WIN.

    @AusVintageGrrl Never underestimate what you can find in the dodgy shops of Capital Square, my friend.

    @Ezzles Um… Well, people do. And it pays for other people’s salaries. *ducks* I NEVER SAID I WAS PROUD!

    @Ezzles Ahhh, we don’t do that one. šŸ™‚

  • Alice and Kev

    Alice and Kev – homeless father and daughter someone created in Sims 3. It’s fascinating.

  • 20 Minute Simple Skirt Tutorial

    20 Minute Simple Skirt Tutorial. I really need to do some sewing.

  • iPhone Hidden Features

    iPhone 3.0 Update: 10 Hidden Features. I never knew about the force-quit thing.

  • Cupcake Kebabs

    For my sister: Cupcake Kebabs. (I noticed recently that another cupcake bakery has opened in the QVB. That makes, like, three in the CBD alone. When will the cupcake fad implode??)

    @sharre Knitting flat and sewing is easiest for newbies. Especially the type that are basically squares sewn together!

    Hm. Spotlight Search on iPhone doesn’t search text of emails, only to, from, and subject. In case, like me, you were wondering.

    I forgot to say – my sore throat didn’t eventuate into anything. I remain free of the Dreaded Lurgy. #temptingfate

    Sky is blue! Time for a run.

    Standing under a tree. Blue sky was a damn LIE! http://yfrog.com/10kbccj

    Just completed a 4.16 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/Ftig2 #runkeeper

    Optus iPhone customers – anybody managed to send MMS yet? I tried a while ago but recipient didn’t get it.

    @Bex_the_Femme Sent. Tell me if you get it.

    @Dextress YES! Haven’t been able to send or receive myself.

    @Bex_the_Femme OOH, PUPPY! I got it!

    @Bex_the_Femme Ahhh, so it just took a while! Good, it’s working then.

    Managed to send/receive MMS. The sending just seemed to take a little while to arrive.

    @justjussi Should work. Search twitter for “iphone vodafone mms.” Other folks have it working.

    Heading to the city for knitting at the Grace Hotel. Hope it’s not raining again.

    @RTRR Yep, evil Optus. I’m on cheap plan they don’t advertise anymore. Called today to get it unlocked. šŸ˜›

    RT @ReDrUmNZ: Free Tethering for Optus AU via iPhone! Hack: http://bit.ly/gpf9y Instructions: http://bit.ly/3G66wI <- Um, worked for me!

    @twelveeyes We always take an empty suitcase for Old Navy. Love it! Just watch their wacky (big) sizing. Try everything on.

    There are like 40+ homemade peanut butter cookies packed up to go to work today. My team kicked ass this week; they earned it.

    @RTRR The real test is whether I can resist. I allowed myself to lick the beaters, but cookies don’t fit with new health kick! šŸ™‚
