Ahhh, the true worth of iPhone 3GS. It allows me to edit & upload boring videos of my cats on the way to work! http://bit.ly/Y7Oaz

@runkeeper Just posted a review of the new interval feature: http://bit.ly/chDIs
. LOVE IT!

Any knitters want to be on TV? Sunrise have contacted about shooting a knitting event EARLY Tues morning. Let me know if you want details.

@Bex_the_Femme I know, I know! Why the media in Sydney are incapable of planning anything more than a week in advance is beyond me.

5.30am-8.30am on Tuesday at Customs House. DM me your email if you want more info. Coffee and muffins provided! 🙂

@Timmay83 Actually I think they want some “beginners” who are being taught, so if you want to be knitting dumbass, sure! 🙂

@AusVintageGrrl I’m still using Tweetdeck. It crashes every now and then, but I like that it syncs columns to my desktop version.

Was just telling Mom how FREEZING it is in Sydney today, when I looked up the temp conversion. 12C = 53F. She laughed at me. I’m a wuss now.

@wookie_man Meanwhile I watched a 461 AND 480 pull away while I was sprinting to them FROM THE ACTUAL BUS STOP.

@misswired Harris Farms at Broadway, surely. I’m also pretty sure I’ve seen non-fancy paneer at Coles.

New @runkeeper release looks AWESOME. Custom time/distance interval workouts? Nike+ can’t do that! LOVE IT, and can’t wait for next run.

@clesan700 Yep, only iPhone. Someone has to be working on something similar though… Do you have an app store? (No idea how bberries work.)

@Timmay83 Just wait til you start actually shaking your fist at bus drivers and reporting them to their bosses. Me = grumpy old woman.

@henrytapia You gotcher Andys mixed up. Lleyton’s playing Roddick, who coincidentally looks EXACTLY like my brother. So I like him.

Anybody doing the Tour de France knitalong? Is there an official site or Rav group for it? I have a ton of WIPs and need motivation.

Just completed a 4.89 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/omIgG #runkeeper

Tried new @runkeeper interval workout today. Flawless! Immediate impact: keeps me honest with warmup and cooldown, which I need.

@sharre Nah. But I don’t sync very often, so possible I just haven’t noticed yet.

@devvyleys Congrats Devvy! Well done. Waist is the hardest place to shift it…

I was feeling so much better today… until I realised my left ear & jaw are aching. An ear infection just after fighting off a virus? ARGH.

Ha! The Knitted Stig actually made it on to the show: http://bit.ly/4FRydh

@misswired My friend Kate – the one whose blog is linked. She put him in the Royal Easter Show this past year. 🙂

@Ezzles Might need to engage your services later this year, actually! Our place is nicely high-tech. 🙂

Listening to @ironbrandon on my way home and wishing I felt good enough to go for a run.

@Ezzles probably the US to visit the fam at the end of the year. We’ll need somebody to herd our idiot cats.

Broadway Newsagency has crowd control barriers up to deal with crazed lottery ticket buyers. No, I didn’t buy in. http://twitpic.com/8u3d4

Hm. Suddenly realized that conversations with the Snook occur across the unbreachable chasm dividing the world of the BA and the developer.

Just completed a 4.00 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/D0Ali #runkeeper

I feel great! Got some drops at chemist last night that helped earache. Went for 1st run in a week today & had ZERO shin issues. Yay July!

Wait, wait… Did a lesbian knitting group from the Netherlands just refer to the SSKers as “crafters” and invite them to a new group?? o_O

I stand corrected. They hit every group on Ravelry that had “Sydney” in the description, apparently.

@mrs_sockvictim I did too! I gave away my sneaky trick the other night, didn’t I? 🙂

@j_wren Feel free. I was more amused than annoyed. Go get ’em!

Where the hell are the Park St buses? Been waiting 10 minutes. Have seen every Newtown bus 3 times…

Oy vey. One of the people booked in for my sock class was a 9-year-old. Who gave up halfway through. And who then puked in the shop.

@crumpet @glittertrash Ooh, we just got some Black Russians in yesterday’s veggie box. Very nice.

Bailing on Rachel’s Stitch and Bitch in favor of going back to bed. Talk about a lost weekend…

Feeling a lot better. House is a wreck and I accomplished nothing all weekend, but at least I can stop munching paracetamol.

Still in bed. Going to take one more day to rest and shake this bug.

Shared today on Twitter

Have spent nearly entire day in bed, only stirring briefly for last visit to Bourke St Bakery. *sob* Time to try sitting up, I guess.

@rhagern Heh. You’re not an idiot; it’s only had search for the past 2 weeks. (It was in 3.0 update.)

Time to pop some paracetamol and man up for a trip into the city. My knitting students must not be disappointed!

Wow. Change of plans. Thanks to @lachlanhardy, just realised that buying iPhone outright from Apple is best deal of all. Cancelling Optus!

@wookie_man We changed tack. Getting outright from Apple store now. Snook is in the queue as we speak. 🙂

Jeff Goldblum story was a hoax, and a two-year-old hoax at that: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/tomhanks.asp

@SupFarn Yep, official site says “outright purchase.” 32Gb $1049 or 16Gb $849. Snook reports queue at Sydney store but “they have plenty”.

@SupFarn Apologies. $879 for 16GB.

@twelveeyes Saw it on Twitter today. Snook has verified at Apple Store. 32Gb $1049 or 16Gb $879 for “outright purchase.”

Just realized girl in front of me at chemist was getting morning-after pill. Suddenly puts own life stresses into perspective.

Not feeling very well. Going to skip the Friday night drinks and head home for rest. 🙁

New iPhone is set up and synced. Yay! Tested out video camera and compass. Snook is entranced with my hand-me-down 3G.

Ugh. Virus. I feel sleepy and nauseated, and I haven’t even gotten out of bed.

@witty_knitter I hadn’t! Great minds think alike. 🙂

@traceyh Unfortunately, yes. Every New Year’s I post my stats, and I think this will probably be my lightest blogging year ever…

How to feel old: Mention “The Princess Bride” and have your coworker say: “Never heard of it.” WHAT IS THE NEXT GENERATION COMING TO?

Just got an email with Optus upgrade pricing for iPhone! They’ll reduce my upgrade fees by 20%, but I’d have to re-up for 2 years.

Yours said 40%, @zachhorder? I’m only 6 months into 24 mo Optus contract, and they offered me 20% off upgrade fees. Not worth it.

@shaps I only got offered 20%. Seeing everything from 20-40% on Twitter right now.

The Optus iPhone upgrade offers have gone out, and it sounds like they’re offering 20-40% off upgrade fees depending on length of contract.

@techAU Not for everyone. I only got offered 20% off.

@shaps Only six. 20% off isn’t enough to sway me, considering I’d have to change from my grandfathered $39 plan (which I love).

Same guy: “Is Alice in Wonderland a book, Kris?” God bless this kid.

@shaps I’m not going to bother. Partner is going to get $19 plan and swap phones with me. (He doesn’t make many calls.)

@redambition I signed up for the updates on the Optus site.

Lovely two hour celebratory lunch… It’s nice to feel like the company appreciates all our hard work!

@wookie_man I thought you were gonna wait and see Tia’s?? 🙂

@wookie_man I can’t see their plans online?! Did they email them to you?

@smallpirate If you’re on contract, free. I did it last week. Surprisingly, they did it in less than 2 business days!

Heading to knitting at the Grace…

iPhone ordered, delivery Saturday. WOO! That was a tense 20 minutes. Stupid Optus site is very fragile. Expected session timeout any second.

I thought Michael Jackson lived in Bahrain or something because he thought the US was too persecute-y with the whole molestation thing?

@traceyh I think it’s a total fake.

Recruiter emailed looking for PHP devs. Said I’m not doing that anymore. “Do you know anyone who’s looking?” “ISN’T THAT YOUR JOB?”

Vodafone iPhone 3GS prices are up, and they’ve got prepaid! http://www.vodafone.com.au/personal/iphone/3gspricing/

Vodafone’s iPhone pricing page says: “There is no monthly access fee for tethering.” Translation: “Screw you, Optus.”

@clesan700 It’s a screenshot from “Lost.” You can see Evangeline Lilly wearing handcuffs in the front.

RT @andrewsayer: Idiot gets firework nutshot (32sec VID) http://bit.ly/4N5In <- I think I went to high school with those guys.

@redambition Congrats! Well done.

The plan all hinges on whether the Snook’s SIM works in my iPhone. *crossing fingers*

SUCCESS! Current plan is to order $19 plan online on Optus’s site tomorrow night. They then courier my new iPhone on Saturday. W00t.

@bellsg Snooky’s 95% sure he can get by on Optus $19 plan. (He doesn’t use phone much except to call me, and our calls will be free then.)

Cranford Mitts are off the needles! Little bit Victorian lace, little bit Japanese punk rock. Details on Rav tomorrow: http://bit.ly/1buB0O

@Ascasewwen Wait, seriously? You’re actually the second person to tell me that recently. Obviously this is a Halloween costume possibility!

@eileenDCoE I always think that too. It’s kind of a mean thing to say to a person, really.

Finally finished Red Mars. Enjoyed 1st half more than 2nd. Debating on getting the sequel(s). (Need to know if FC is dead. I doubt it.)

Um, am I the only one that realises that Godwin Grech of the Treasury Department is clearly a Gringott’s goblin at loose in our world?

Just completed a 4.28 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/KCQmV #runkeeper

Accidentally republished an old run this morning. Just did 4K, not 10K. Nice and slow, w/ only 1 walk break! Recovery is going well.

Smartphones are the future. How else could I be alerted that sewer has backed up at work while still on the bus? It’s good to be prepared.

Uhh… I’m really weirded out by the new Skype UI. Big, big departure. Took me a few minutes to find my bookmarked chats.

Really had it up-to-here with knitters guild busybodies today.

@Opheli8 It drains my battery!

@twelveeyes @randomknits Yeah. Members of Exec spying on and forwarding emails from groups. Funny in a childish kind of way.

Charitable: She’s stupid, misread it being for everyone and wanted to share. More likely: She wants brownie points for keeping tabs on us.

Woo! And the knitting shit has hit the fan. I’ve been asked to remove a Ravelry group I have no authority over.

Just sent an email that could – wheee! – get me kicked out of guild completely. Who knew a simple discussion about usernames would explode?

Bullet dodged in the face of implacable logic.

@witty_knitter Actually, the strata’s builder was out today to take a look at it. It’s their issue, so luckily they’re getting it fixed. 🙂

@witty_knitter I really need to start loaning out the Snook to set up PVRs for you. The concept of watching live TV is gone from my life!

@witty_knitter Puter that records all your TV, like a TiVo. Check out MythTV.org. I have it set to record all Time Team, whenever it’s on!
