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! 🙁

RT @Opheli8: @web_goddess: Two monitors ARE better than one. http://bit.ly/NoZsX <- Hey, @venks79! HINT, HINT.

@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

Just completed a 5.00 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/sS6R #runkeeper

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 🙂

Last sock workshop finished. Nearly everybody finished their 1st sock! Very satisfying teaching experience.

Just completed a 6.71 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/21w8C #runkeeper

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. 🙂

How a couple interns stole moon rocks from NASA: http://bit.ly/19Fl4S. Hilarious part: they put them on the bed and DID IT amongst them.

@alyshajane Oh fun, so we get to meet up! I have found a replacement non-threatening guy to fill Snook’s spot. Hello @kunaal84! 🙂

This office is so cold my fingers are numb. Hm… Steaming hot coffee at Toby’s is sounding like the goer for lunch.

RT @twelveeyes: RT @mikestuchbery Trespass Magazine’s coverage of the NRL sex fiasco is pretty good reading, folks -> http://is.gd/zEC0

Only in marketing-land is “easypay” an actual adjective.

@venks79 Just because something isn’t illegal doesn’t mean it’s not immoral. He’s not a good role model for his sport.

Had a beautiful chicken salad down at Toby’s, where all the beautiful people come to get coffee, on a beautiful autumn Sydney day.

@misswired It’s definitely busted. I can’t see this tweet in my timeline either.

Tweets finally starting to come through again. Wonder if the ones that fell through the cracks will appear?

@glittertrash Ooh, yes! Actually, I think Michael of Sustainable House has introduced native hive in Chippo. Will ask him on Saturday.

@glittertrash Actually, I found email describing installing the hive. It came from here: http://www.aussiebee.com.au

Waiting for North Ryde train at Chatswood. On our way to Geek Girl Dinner! #ggds

So far Microsoft = party pies and Coke in plastic cups. Like a bad kids’ party. And wifi won’t access Twitter. FAIL! #ggds

Lego Challenge: build a tower with a twist of diversity. #ggds http://yfrog.com/eke6nj

Just realized I’m sitting next to @kcarruthers! #ggds

KUNAAL IS CHEATING AND COPYING ALL MY IDEAS. #ggds http://yfrog.com/0e7hej

Kunaal and our Lego battlescene (which somehow represents challenges facing women in tech). #ggds http://yfrog.com/0998432646j

Beer and nibblies in the Xbox lounge. Okay, Bill, this is definitely a step in the right direction.. #ggds

Kunaal and I rippin’ it up on Guitar Hero. #ggds http://yfrog.com/0mcycxj

@venks79 I have no preference. That’s just what Tweetie uses. (I switched from TwitterFon recently.) I didn’t even notice at first!

Home from Geek Girl Dinner. Much fun with @alyshajane, @corinoco, @kcarruthers, @acatinatree, @MrAndyPuppy, and of course my boy @kunaal84.

@corinoco I noticed, but I also noticed several of them were American. I figured there might be cultural norms at play too.

@alyshajane AHHHHHH, I SO want to go there! Please post photos.

Just completed a 5.16 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/gb9CH #runkeeper

Just got tix to see the fabulous Liza Minelli in November at the Ent. Center. Now I just need the appropriate “Lucille 2” shirt to wear!

Fun. Listening to male co-workers demand pics from #ggds. Not of the Lego. Of the “hot geek babes.” I wish I could say they’re being ironic.

Woo! Discovered how to ignore conversation notifications in Skype. Thanks @kunaal84…

@AusVintageGrrl North Sydney. I emailed you details…

Oh man, WHAT? You mean PACEY auditioned for Captain Kirk? JJ Abrams, YOU’RE KILLING ME. http://bit.ly/10C2Uu

@wookie_man Just normal free-to-air SBS eps on Saturday night. We’re too cheap for Foxtel! This weekend it’s replaced by Eurovision though.

@imdominating Yep! Brief review on the blog. I liked it a lot. 🙂

Poll: Would you hyphenate “logged in”? (Usage: “Logged in users should…”) If so, how would you hyphenate “non logged in”?

@alyshajane Not sure. DM me your email and I’ll forward the lady’s number. A couple people are signed up, I think!

@wookie_man @sharre What if it were in a heading? Like “Home Page – Logged In Users” and “Home Page – Non Logged In Users”?

Ooh, the Snook has probably the best answer: Screw “logged in” and use “authenticated”. 🙂

@wookie_man I need to differentiate between the two cases.

@Steffi_83 I’m there! I’ll get Snooky to come after work if he can.

Anybody know what time the festivities are starting for Geek Girl Sydney tomorrow? May not make it by 6 depending on traffic… @damana?

@damana Yeah, but there will be mingle time at the beginning, right? Just wondering how early to leave work and catch a train…

SO COLD. Wishing I had an electric blanket tonight. The Snook and his crazy heat-generating metabolism will have to do.

Just discovered notorious Rav troll has changed her name. You know who. RougeTricot. I recognised it by her “writing” style.

@sharre I had the exact same thought. And then she started blaming the victim and referencing Twilight and that killed it.

Snook is bailing on me for Geek Girl Dinner. Any guys want to go? Otherwise will release our spots to waiting list…

@misswired He’s got a killer deadline he’s working on. 🙁

Judging by @grantimahara’s tweets, Australia is getting new Mythbusters eps BEFORE the US! We saw exploding bumpers this past weekend!

I don’t drive so I never listen to current radio. Just discovered Eric Hutchinson’s “Rock and Roll” and LOVE IT. What else is like this?

@Bex_the_Femme I KNOW. As I always say, get me @grantimahara’s autograph on a picture of his robot and I will be forever grateful. 🙂

@Bex_the_Femme No stalking! Just nerd admiration from afar. I heart guys who carry scientific calculators.

@misswired Is s/he wearing a toque with a pompom on top? As a fellow N. American, I know they like it when you address them as “hoser.”

Writing a new spec. I love when I ask a dev how difficult something is and they surprise me with “Not very.”

@BostonSydney I’m a dualie. They don’t make you renounce anything anymore. Here’s a more extended version of my path: http://bit.ly/yEjZO

@sharre I’ll admit to feeling a little weird when I see people directly addressing celebs. I prefer to just follow and talk ABOUT them. 🙂

Chili basil chicken at Big Boy Thai on Stanley Street. Yum. http://yfrog.com/0lrs8gj

@BostonSydney I was in Oz for years before getting married. It’s not a requirement here. They have “defacto” which is like common-law.

@BostonSydney I’ve got you confused! PM your email address. I came in on defacto spouse visa, which doesn’t require actual marriage.

@Timmay83 NO WAY! CONGRATS! (When is the housewarming?)

@Steffi_83 Congratulations on the house!

@shanea Good luck! I want to hear all about it – the parts you can remember – afterwards.

Trying to decide whether to fight our way into a Star Trek screening on Tight Arse Tuesday…

Tickets booked! Star Trek tonight at 7:30 at George Street. (Who knew Greater Union had assigned seating?! Weird.)

I blow-dried my hair today w/ center part instead of side & got told I looked like Kaylee from Firefly! Yay, compliment. http://bit.ly/d3feD

Me: “I have a sudden urge to wear a minidress and boots.” Snook: “You’re allowed!”

Got email from web host warning that my blog exceeded monthly bandwidth limit by 2 MILLION MB. Uh, no. Server reporting fail. #fb

@michaelengle People in my ND class protested that our speaker wasn’t “important” enough. Now they’ve got the friggin’ President!

@imdominating @Leetha “Runs” is a strong word. More like “ran it ten years ago, but now just collects the Google checks every month.”

Any Sydney knitters free Friday morning? Channel 7 needs 3-4 people to be knitting in the background on a new show. Contact me for details.
