@witty_knitter @mrs_sockvictim Okay, this conversation has gone in very different direction from innocent proclamation of arrival of spring!

---

Chippendale Fresh Food Co-op is really happening! If you’re in Chippo and not on the email list, let me know and I’ll forward.

---

“Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.” http://bit.ly/XvcNq

---

Holy crap. Ben & Jerry’s are opening in Sydney! Free ice cream! THE TOTAL WRECK OF MY DIET! http://www.benandjerry.com.au (@gadgetgirl70)

---

@carbolicious Huh. I saw somebody on TV once with a glitter phobia. It’s very real and weird.

---

The Shawl Virus is spreading. I can appreciate them as beautiful things… but no, not for me. I may have to build a bunker and hide.

---

Getting the low-down on machinations within Sydney retail craft community. Very interesting things are afoot!

---

Was present for actual Wheeling and Dealing. All highly confidential. Will email the enquiring minds…

---

Email is being typed RIGHT NOW, and you’re all on it…

---

@bellsg Wait, I don’t think I have your email addy, Bells! Send quick!

---

Sent. I love sharing exciting gossip. Shhhhhh….

---

@bellsg Hmmm… You were on there! Just sent again, so you may get two.

---

Just completed a 5.67 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/3maobQ #RunKeeper

---

Team picture: http://twitpic.com/cg3iz

---

Check out the 7.05 km run I did with @runkeeper http://bit.ly/2VFMs2 #RunKeeper

---

Somehow GPS conked out about 700m before finish, so I had to go in & manually adjust points. Just retweeted link to map w/ splits. 🙂

---

Ha. SMH.com.au has big giant yellow Java error splashed all over front page. #fairfax #fail

---

@sharre Nice one! Don’t forget to put it on the challenge… 🙂

---

@redambition Woohoo! Everybody’s exercisin’ today! 🙂

---

Quick, quick, look now before it’s fixed! Race results error has our team – Barry and the Apples – as the #1 winner! http://bit.ly/EuMwq

---

I emailed them. Looks like the winning team mistakenly got our name applied. It was a fun surprise there for a minute though!

---

@witty_knitter Welcome aboard. Being able to vote is nice. 🙂

---

In case you didn’t get the memo from my bare legs and pretty red shoes, winter is OVER. We have decreed it.

---

@mrs_sockvictim I should think so! I’m not wearin’ hot pants to work. 🙂

---

@Opheli8 Awww, but we MISS YOU over here!

---

It’s not like I LIKE being the humourless, nagging taskmaster. But it appears to be the only way stuff gets done.

---

@mrs_sockvictim Me too. Cranky pants are on. Are you going to knitting?

---

ANZ’s site says Access accts can have cheques. Yet when I call, it’s only SECRET SPECIAL accts that can & only M-F staff can set that flag.

---

Is anybody going to SSK today? I’m debating.

---

@witty_knitter @j_wren Bah, stuck at home doing tax. Sorry to miss it!

---

Tasman Summer Tunic is finished and blocking! Does anyone know if Button Shop in the Rocks is open on Sunday?

---

@gilmae Yeah… I’m starting to think Spottie’s is my only option.

---

12 hours until I run the 7K Bay Run (bayrun.com.au) at Iron Cove. Weather looks good; feeling optimistic. Time for food, water, & sleep! #fb

---

Up, dressed, hydrated… just waiting for the taxi to go to the race!

---

WOOO! Met both goals: ran whole thing w/out stopping and SMASHED 50 minutes. Congrats to @shanea, @TimBags, and @Steffi_83 too!

---

ARGH. Another freakin’ Joomla security update. I’m patching the stupid Knitters Guild site practically every weekend now.

---

@ironbrandon Very, very, very reluctantly. I spent a lot of time using it at work last year.

---

@ironbrandon Sure… but if/when I ever get over to NYC, I want some opera tickets! 🙂

---

@Alegrya Which yarn shop? Anything good left?

---

Looks like Champion Textiles may be closing. Not terribly surprised. I never got good service, fitout was dirty, and it was kinda smelly.

---

@knitness No details except what’s on Rav. Apparently 20% off “Closing Down Sale” happening. Emailed Albie to see if he knows anything…

---

@acatinatree Happy birthday! (The geeks are eating lots of cake this week!)

---

@kategamble My usage is mostly personal, so no automation. To me, autotweets are more like mailing list; one-way rather than conversation.

---

@randomknits WHAT?!

---

Lunchtime workout goal: hill repeats.

---

Here’s the view down the bastard hill I’ve been climbing… http://twitpic.com/c7rjz

---

Just completed a 4.66 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/j3zNr #RunKeeper

---

@TimBags I can’t believe I can recognize Dusko just from his chin.

---

Just plugged in my new second monitor at work

---

Just found out I’m off to Twitter Boot Camp this arvo: http://bit.ly/ArfFn. (Grammar error in 2nd sentence doesn’t inspire optimism.)

---

@knitness Here’s a tip: They all mean “feed me.”

---

@sharre Wow, great job! You’re gonna kick butt on our challenge…

---

Waiting for Twitter Boot Camp to begin. @opheli8 has warned me “not to be a hater.”

---

Looks like Twitter Boot Camp hash tag is #tbcau. Getting ready to start…

---

Hm. Big monitor showing live Twitter feed certainly kills any urge to snark on speakers. #tbcau

---

@lotsofco It has to do with marketing. (I feel so dirty. But hey, free cookies, right?)

---

Watching @barrys_syd film @markpollard. Hearing about etiquette, accountability, validation. So far so good. #tbcau http://twitpic.com/c3gza

---

FINALLY got wifi working again… and forgot everything I wanted to tweet. #tbcau

---

@redambition Wait, what? Are you at the same session as me??

---

We’re 2 hours in, and I am utterly sick of the word “tweet.” Is tweet-rage a recognized psychotic condition? #tbcau

---

Please, please let the Bruce Clay speaker use the word ‘silos.’ Then I can yell bingo! #tbcau

---

How does ‘automate as much as possible’ jibe with idea that good Twitter use is all about meaningful conversations? #tbcau

---

Just surprised at number of speakers advising scheduling tweets for middle of the night. That’s PR feed, not real time interaction. #tbcau

---

My ‘silos’ comment was unexpectedly featured by @barrys_syd. Eep! At least we all had a chuckle. #tbcau

---

Okay, which one of you is the Mythbusters guy? Rumor is you’re here… #tbcau

---

No SnB for me tonight. Taking the Snook out to celebrate his birthday!

---

It is a very strange day when the Snook leaves the house before I do. The cats are freaked out. DISRUPTION TO HUMAN ROUTINE!

---

@voicework Ha, you’re the 2nd person I’ve met from MB. Do you know Sadhana? Anyway yeah, good day. Nice to “meet” you!

---

Sorry I missed pub networking! I got more from Twitter Boot Camp than expected, esp. from @jyesmith’s case study. Thanks to all. #tbcau

---

RT @ScottKirsner Brands have historically been distant and inhuman…but now consumers want the opposite. – Matt Cutler of Visible Measures

---

Oh ffs. We just hired our 4th “Chris” in an office of 48. Kris/Chris/Chris/Cris. That’s not going to be confusing AT ALL.

---

I am Asking MetaFilter how to make an awesome meatloaf: http://bit.ly/L1Ri8

---

@venks79 Eh, just didn’t feel great in the AM. Punching helped though! Catch me on Skype tomorrow & I’ll give you the update. 🙂

---

I do hope the folks over at Geekdom do something to celebrate the Snook’s birthday today (hint hint)…

---

@redambition Dare I mention the dreaded fanny pack? 🙂 I’ve been carrying mine in my hand in its case. I’m used to it now.

---

@redambition Definitely! Walking is totally allowed. And @sharre, I only used the US term because @AusVintageGrrl did last night over IM!

---

@redambition @sharre @AusVintageGrrl I’M WRONG! She said bumbag, and my brain translated it, probably because it’s so funny here. Apologies!

---

@runkeeper Giving you some love over on Metafilter: http://bit.ly/aal5K

---

@bellsg Yep. Click the little song listing icon in the upper right. Will let you set stars for all songs on album. #iphone

---

@sharre Very pretty! I hate the new-glasses-seasick though.

---

@mrs_sockvictim Ooh, gchatting you. We might be interested!

---

Nothing makes you feel loved like finding two cats waiting for your reappearance outside the bathroom door. (Also: they want their dinner.)

---

Nearly finished with Tasman Summer Tunic for my niece Indie. @carbolicious, this may be the cutest thing I have EVER KNITTED.

---

@ironbrandon You’ll like this! RT @runkeeper: @aaronwhite’s evangelizing has piqued my curiousity. Who’s tried these? http://bit.ly/HVZBf

---

@ironbrandon I d’loaded their foot/calf strengthening exercises. Starting to think about giving forefoot a serious try…

---

Just not feeling happy in my own skin today.

---

@Bex_the_Femme Those are the WRONGEST SHOES I’VE EVER SEEN.

---

@that_alison You’re not talking plant stealing, are you? NEVER JUSTIFIED!

---

@that_alison Oh! That’s a good thing. Give them a hug from me. 🙂

---

Congrats to @venks79 on the new baby!

---

GAH. Carried my lovely hot lunch all the way across the office and DROPPED IT right in front of my desk. Miraculously, 2/3 remained inside.

---

@carbolicious You are making me want to bake! (Damn you.)

---

@justjussi You still up? I’m having trouble interpreting part of the Tasman Summer Tunic pattern…

---

@justjussi Nevermind! I worked it out. 🙂

---

Just completed a 6.10 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/b8Nbo #RunKeeper

---

Just completed a 13.82 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/qiSIc #RunKeeper

---

Just finished long slow run. Shins and lungs felt pretty good! Now, ice bath. If you hear shrieking, that’s me.

---

For this show application, need to list my 6 dream dinner guests. Suggestions?

---

Heh. Would it be totally sucking up to the ABC to say Denton?

---

@RTRR It’s just a hypothetical, presumably to find out whether you’d pick interesting people or ones that sound impressive.

---

TV show application sent. It’s like the Australian Idol for Complete Nerds. (I HOPE I GET IN!)

---

I went with Stephen Fry, Steve Jobs, Tetsuya Wakuda, Carrie Fisher, Terese Rein, & Queen Margrethe of Denmark. (She’s a crafter, you know!)

---

Watching Sex Pistols documentary. This music is making me knit faster than EVER BEFORE.

---

@DDsD Which is amusing, because every waitress I’ve had there in the past six months has been – I’m pretty sure – an actual Russian.

---

@imdominating Hahahahaha…. Almost makes me sorry I un-followed him after getting bored of all the pot-smoking and masturbation.

---

Another day, another chapter in the Ongoing Battle Between Kris and the Evil 480 Bus Drivers.

---

I support the @yarnharlot. #yarnharlot

---

Lovely lazy sunshiney Saturday. Off to Farmers Market, then out to high tea with local knitters. Oh, and I dropped a pound. WIN!

---

Cornucopia. Now to Broadway for meat & cat litter, and that’s the shopping sorted. http://twitpic.com/bilem

---

All frocked up and heading for high tea with my knitters. How civilized!

---

Lee, with sandwiches. http://twitpic.com/bjepg

---

It’s @mrs_sockvictim enjoying her tea and knitting. http://twitpic.com/bji4m

---

JP (@knitterjp) and scones… http://twitpic.com/bjjit

---

I’ve been told I did it backwards. @RoseRed says “JAM, THEN CREAM!” http://twitpic.com/bjl11

---

We’re into our third hour… and the sweets. Oh, the sweets! http://twitpic.com/bjo4q

---

Stuffed! @mrs_sockvictim and I are on a sugar high… http://twitpic.com/bjpzl

---

SONOFA…. Just realized that I’ve spent the last four hours knitting a Mobius strip. GAH.

---

Mobius strip frogged and reknit while watching Richard Burton skeeve it up in “Anne of a Thousand Days.” Tea party photos are on the blog!

---

@realtimshady Awwww, congratulations! Here’s to many more. 🙂

---

Just saw that ABC is going to have a public speaking competition/reality show starting soon. HA! I am seriously considering applying.
