@drkknits Congratulations!!!

@Opheli8 Is the #newjob still within Optarse? (I was there again yesterday. Marathon meeting tho; no time to socialise.)


I knew the dream would end. Just had my first Google Docs crash in over two dasys…


@handmethepanda The doc crashes upon inserting an image; says it can’t save and I have to refresh the page. Happens a LOT.


@handmethepanda Happens in both Chrome and Firefox. I think it’s a known issue. It’s just a frustrating interruption.


@jasony Not really. I’m the actual advocate for it. Normally I like it. It’s just been really crappy lately.


@jasony I’ve had it happen on Mac Chrome and Firefox, and Windows Chrome. It’s a known Google issue, I think. They just don’t care. *sigh*

@chrisgander Paleo is no grains, dude. http://t.co/m3S1tqdC (Geoff put me onto that site.)


@chrisgander Paleo is big with the cross fit crowd, I thought. Are you still doing that?


@chrisgander We did “Slow Carb” (similar to paleo) for most of last year. Made final tweaks this year: http://t.co/E9OhQqo4


@chrisgander Plenty of places in Italy where they don’t eat that stuff. Steak! Meatballs! Fish! Veg! Plenty of good paleo Italian food. πŸ™‚


@chrisgander But yeah, if you’re addicted to flour/carbs, the first couple weeks are ROUGH. And if you love those foods, mentally it’s hard.

@Rellarc79 It doesn’t. Those things are so stupid.


Wore Docs as they’re the most waterproof shoes I have. My feet were soaked within 5 minutes. I think it’s time to get wellies. Suggestions?


When your umbrella is visually indistinguishable from a circus tent, IT’S TOO DAMN BIG.


@Alegrya Aren’t wellies and gumboots the same? Rubber is definitely what I want.


Heard random cheering. Realised bus was stopped next to Apple Store. Staff appear to be cheering iPad pre-orderers.


@DDsD Right now, judging by the applause I heard from the bus going by the Apple store this morning.

@crumpet You’ll have to be more specific. I do it ’cause my cookie sheet (in Oz) is really crap, and I want my cookies to come off nicely.


@crumpet I don’t know if there is sound. I sure can’t get it to play. I just see video…


@crumpet Also, that dude is just weird. I’ve never in my life seen ANYONE make pizza on paper. Pizza ovens are meant to be HOT.


@crumpet In my experience, USians don’t bake on paper any more than anyone else. (A cookie sheet is a baking pan, not paper.)


Hahahaha… Disgruntled random crank sent hatemail to our company over ergonomics of “funky offices” as seen in our SMH photo.


@Opheli8 I saw that too. I was amused that some companies managed to keep their names out of it…


I was thinking of riding home in my skirt, but I don’t think I can kick my leg over the crossbar. (I don’t have a step-through.) Thoughts?


@sharre It’s a fairly short skirt. I’m mostly just worried about the initial swinging-the-leg over. Once I’m on I think it’ll be okay.


@wooboard My company has been giving you some publicity Down Under: http://t.co/ZacKV6YJ (cc @sitback)
