Holy crap. The whole Clare Werbeloff “chk-chk BOOM” thing WAS a hoax! http://bit.ly/2d0MVG She made it all up!


Emerged from our cave & wandered to Chippo’s Good Neighbour BBQ for a free snag. They’ve got a clown! #fb http://yfrog.com/0tukcj


@twelveeyes Two weeks at least, often more. They haven’t told me closing date yet, but definitely not til June.


15 min into hourlong run. Just stopped to watch rowers in Blackwattle Bay. http://yfrog.com/5gbrgj


Just completed a 7.25 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/HeshI #runkeeper


Ugh. Sudden headache last night kept me up all night. Feel even worse this morning. Maybe I caught a bug from evil knitters on Sat?


The Male Programmer Privilege Checklist: http://bit.ly/88RCD . I nodded like 20 times. I’ve witnessed just about all that stuff.


Decided to call in sick and rest up. Tucked up in bed with laptop, eyelids drooping…

Someone just referred to the fact that “we’ve only had print since the 20th century.” @WittyKnitter nearly choked.


So very tired and bored. I will leave the outrage to those who got a good night’s sleep.


Halfway through. 1st part all came to nought. Ugh, whatev.


Okay, that was nearly SIX HOURS of knitting guild drama. Is it too early to start drinking?


@mrs_sockvictim Gutenberg who? 🙂


@AusVintageGrrl Unfortunately not. A motion that would have passed without notice at the AGM was defeated because of personality conflicts.


@randomknits Haha, me too! I finished off the toe of one, managed to Kitchener the toe amidst the insanity, and knit most of the leg of #2!


HOLY CRAP. Major osCommerce bug squashing tonight. Really weird session issue: http://bit.ly/Q9ysY . Thank god for patient customers!


Now, I think some beer and Welsh rarebit is in order…


@Timmay83 And you always double-down on eleven. ALWAYS.

When you’re wearing clothes from the late 90’s, somehow it seems appropriate to put R.E.M. on random on the iPod.


@acatinatree @misswired Um… I may have heard him say – just recently in fact – how much it sucked. Does that constitute premeditation?


Going to go for a run in the park. Headache has been threatening all day; maybe this will clear it.


RT @shanea: RT (like 12 other people): IT workers are best at sex: http://tr.im/m419 <- As you might guess, Twitter folks are ALL OVER THIS.


I’m debating buying Reel Big Fish’s last album on iTunes. I’m just getting stuck on paying $17 for 11 songs mostly under 3 minutes…


@Justacogitating In my experience, red wine usually cures insomnia.


Much deserved kudos to the support staff at Quadrahosting.com. They were awesome helping sort out an SSL issue for morrisandsons.com.au.


Nearly done… nearly done…


Done. I’m goin’ to bed. Gotta get up early for Knitters Guild draaaaaaaaama.


Who wants in to the M&S sale site early?


@knitsewmum They do checque and money order…


@purple_velvet @knitsewmum @Camee Go for it! http://www.morrisandsons.com.au


Oh for god’s sake. All the sale kits still say out of stock. Not my error.


Site launched, I’m off to the Guild Special General Meeting.


@knitsewmum As soon as I leave the house. Of course. It must be getting hammered! It was working before, right?


@randomknits I think you have it cached. I can get to it from mine, or I could before it crashed. 🙁


@redambition I’m on the train so will only just make it. Can you guys save me a seat?

Good run this morning. Physio bruised my ass (literally), but she also got rid of 90% of my back pain. I ran faster & easier than usual!


#ravelry-induced hypothesis: hats are the new socks. Discuss.


@glittertrash My psychic knitting sense says we’re still a year or two away from the tea-cosy fad. You have to kickstart that one yourself!


@twelveeyes I think it’s because it’s only just the 21st in the US now, so we haven’t had US Ravelers pitching in yet…


Remember the Knitted Stig? Kate actually took it to the Top Gear AU studio and they’re going to show it! http://bit.ly/RivC0


If any knitters are up and need distraction, I could use some testers and bug finders on the new M&S website!


@twelveeyes Ooh, not sure. I just need an IP address. @AusVintageGrrl – you know the drill. whatismyipaddress.com and send to me for entry!


@twelveeyes Wait, mobile internet or mobile phone? Probably not the latter! 🙂


@bowenvale321 Sure, if you like! I need your IP address from whatismyipaddress.com to let you in.


@knitness Heh. I’ll skip you, Drunky McDrunkerson! 😛


@AusVintageGrrl Just DMed it! 🙂


@knitness Okay, okay… No sobriety test needed. You’re in! Link DMed. 😛


How to Get Punched By Your Wife: “Do you think I’d be a bad Mom?” “Maybe.” “WHAT?!”


@venks79 Yeah. I was yelling obscenities at the cat when I realized it might not reflect well on me maternally. So I asked the question. 🙂


Quick favor: Can you to go tapestrycraft.com.au and make sure you see just a splash page? Cheers.


@sharre Sweet, thanks!


@virtual4now I use http://www.runnersshop.com.au but they don’t have NB…


Dear world: I have decreed that FLANNEL IS BACK. My favorite shirt has just come out of 8 years of retirement.


@Timmay83 You’re not actually ON the plane yet, are you? ARE YOU TWEETING FROM BUSINESS CLASS?


@Ezzles I’ve that got season on DVD if you want to borrow it. (It’s really good.)

RT @misswired: squee! an outdoor ice rink in the sydney CBD this winter. http://tr.im/lPIW <- Yay! I can pretend it’s Chicago!


I just learned that my Dad and his wife are moving house… from a post on Facebook. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, THE PHONES HERE WORK.


@brodrigu So from the news I’m hearing I gather you’re NOT coming out to Sydney anytime soon. Too bad… 🙁

@twelveeyes Saturday also = sale start, you know… 🙂


@twelveeyes Not til I launch the new site Saturday morning. But for now: 10-5 M-T, 10-8 F, 10-4 Sat & 12-5 Sun. That’s what I have anyway.


@AusVintageGrrl Stanza = great ebook reader. Bejeweled & Fuzzle to cure boredom. Cha-Ching makes tracking spending fun. #iPhone


@AusVintageGrrl Also: Runkeeper is awesome for tracking runs. WhiteNoise Lite is good for insomnia. #iPhone


@sharre I do, especially when combined with a training plan. Also I think @runkeeper is planning to implement challenges on the site soon…


I feel like such a dork always being the last person here, but I get so much more done when everybody else is gone. 🙂


Supposed to go for a run and it’s pissing down rain. Hm.


Just completed a 5.53 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/ybcQ3 #runkeeper


@shanea Bad news for Barry and the Apples! 🙁

@runkeeper Ooh, loving the (leaked?!) logo and design. Well done!


Awesome: Finding out Snook has w-g saved in feed reader. Awesomer: Having him ask for comment counts to be added to RSS feed.


Just sent off a 52-page spec. Phew. My brain feels wrung out.


Arguing feminism w/ Russian guy at work. He honestly doesn’t think men can raise kids as well as women & shouldn’t be encouraged to try. o_O


RT @CerealBoy: June 17 Girl Geek Dinner @ Yahoo!7 RSVP: http://bit.ly/BeQfC <- Sounds similar to last month’s Y7 Open Session. Will skip it.


@twelveeyes I just feel sad, really. He must not have had good male relationships growing up. I know some GREAT Dads, both irl & online.


@redambition HAHAHA. Exactly.


Stressful week again, both work and extracurricular activities. My stomach is starting to churn. I wonder if my doc would give me a tranq…


Shaking. Large shouting crazy man at bus stop just shoved me in the chest. Out of nowhere. Managed to escape on to bus. WTF??


@venks79 I wondered if I should have warned you. Sorry. I can’t believe a driver let him on a bus!


@henrytapia My co-worker left not after me and saw him get on a bus. No idea where he is now.


I’m OK. I was listening to iPod & not paying attention & he shoved me. @venks79 saw him get on a bus to city not long after. Little shaken.


Made this for dinner: http://bit.ly/DQsy3 . ZOMG. SO GOOD. BACON. CREAM CHEESE. CHEDDAR. PASTA. (And some cauliflower.)


I woke up last night when the sound of actual pouring rain drowned out the virtual pouring rain from my iPhone white noise application.


I’m going to the physio. It suddenly occurred to me that having an aching back every day for 3 weeks is probably a bad sign.

Made first foray to new CBD Lincrap. It sucks, but better than nothin’. Got sewing machine needles to replace FIVE I broke last night.


The number of people who don’t know their own email address is ridiculous. A Knitters Guild member has given me the wrong one TWICE now.


RT @TYPEABC: http://premium.au.samsungmobile.com/promo/ultra/mobile.htm #ultra touch <- My company did this!


Just sent off a nearly 50 page spec to my boss for review. Going to be a stressful week.


@mirvettium Heh. Nope. It was filled out on a web form. Unfortunately having the wrong address made it hard to reply.


@rhagern Wait – you guys are coming to Sydney next year??


New premium SMS code getting press. Most important words: “developed by the industry.” http://bit.ly/19pkU8

Spotted at the end of my street in Sydney this morning. Small world. Can we haz Obama too? http://yfrog.com/ehk0qj


Nice. I wait 10 minutes for a 480 bus to Park St, and the driver decides to stop at Town Hall. And now I’m late. Bugger.


@rhagern DEFINITELY. We’ll discuss sooner to your visit. I can hook you up w/ some of my Gay Cabal Friends to advise on best MG parties 🙂

Heading out for my run tonight, I finally met the not-quite-mythical Goat of Chippendale! http://twitpic.com/5csaq


Much like Dale Kerrigan, Snookums dug a hole. And then we put a tree in it. And now my arms are aching. http://bit.ly/ft0yD


@realtimshady Australia! I’ve got a guest room perfect for displaced Southern teachers. 🙂

Just spent 3 hours planting fruit trees on Myrtle Street with neighbours. Pretty shattered & tired now, but feel we’ve done our civic duty.


I am strangely burnt out on the Internet this weekend. No particular reason; just need a break, I guess. I’ll probably be back tomorrow.

RIP Bud Tingwell. http://bit.ly/Vb8su


I just approved my new business cards with “Business Analyst” as the job title. I got tingles from the official-ness of it all.


Wait a minute. Wasn’t there supposed to be a Fragdoll at #ggds last night? Did I miss her?


@Bex_the_Femme Hahahaha… I’ll go, but I’m sure Rodd will want to come with us. 🙂


If the whole Matthew Johns thing makes ME want to cry from comments by guys I know, I can only imagine what this Clare is going through.


@twelveeyes Keep ’em coming. I have been forwarding to folks at work and cracking up… 🙂


Oh ffs. Tried to impress sister with news of seeing Liza Minelli in November, and it turns out SHE MET HER at a wedding. Seriously.


@twelveeyes http://i31.tinypic.com/m97zip.jpg That one made me laugh out loud.


I don’t even know what this is, but if laughing at RPattz macros is wrong, I don’t wanna be right: http://bit.ly/Hbu5w


Just saw two RATS in Hyde Park, which is two more than ever before. *shudder*


@venks79 12! (Do I get a prize if I guess right?)


@misswired Ha! He was killin time waiting for me. 🙂


Ended up at Lowenbrau with @kunaal84, @Steffi_83, @Timmay83, @shanea, and several others. Had pork knuckle the size of my head. Now, sleep.


@Timmay83 Damn you 20somethings. The oldies were in bed by then. 🙂
