Really, I guess the next best thing to winning is losing in such a way that all your friends keep saying “you were robbed.” That’s nice.

98yo Italian woman rescued from rubble after being trapped for 30 hours. What did she do in there? Crochet. http://bit.ly/27LiPH

@DDsD I never saw one with ‘crumpet’ on it in the US. No one there even knows what a crumpet is.

@kdelarue Hey, there’s a name I recognise! Yep, it’s me! 🙂

@kdelarue I haven’t touched mine in years. Just can’t bear to kill it off though. It still gets loads of traffic, so somebody’s using it.

My replies tab isn’t showing today’s replies. Anybody else seeing that?

Gridlock in Sydney CBD. Police car in middle of Elizabeth St intersection. Related to protest?

Playing Wii with Rodd’s nephew Kurt. Rodd seemingly incapable of letting 9yo win Wii Bowling. Also, we had beer. Bad babysitters!

@glittertrash You’re making me want another beer.

We’ve got the little one playing Guitar Hero. His parents are going to kill us. http://twitpic.com/2zv4d

Nephew deposited safely back into the arms of his parents. Only slightly corrupted. Now I need paracetamol. #fb

@redambition You need a cat! It’d still be nasty, but it’d also be DEAD.

Silly photos with nephew. http://tinyurl.com/c9wa37 Finally time for bed, I think…

Of all the ways to start the day, I would not have predicted this morning would involve ingesting Napi-San.

@venks79 Filling bucket for smelly gym clothes. Air pocket in water line. Explosion. Ergo, covered in Napi-San. Tastes like salt, actually.

@titus_atticus Rockets are cool. I’m not a huge fan of FPS though. Also, he only did *slightly* better than me on SATs. I like geniuses.

Ugh. Dealing with message board trolls who insinuate their detractors are un-Australian. And you thought knitters were all polite.

On the train to Olympic Park. Have to change at that weird little platform in Lidcombe. *sigh* Driving probably isn’t any better, right?

@witty_knitter Just random attention seeker who always gets oddly patriotic when she’s being chastised. Fun for the new mods. 🙂

We’re here! Rav badge in place.

Highly friggin’ commended, same as last year. And they’ve effing MANGLED it in the hanging. #fb http://twitpic.com/2y7go

It’s the Stig! Robbed of a ribbon by the Greenhowe clones, of course. http://twitpic.com/2y82b

Many, many glasses of wine. Lots of Ravelers. Photos were taken. Much merriment. Naked marquetry. It’s all a bit much. #fb

On the train home. Three sheets to the wind. Snook got a pic of me with his poor fish-lined jumper. #fb http://twitpic.com/2yabz

@knitness I have a Ravelry button for you. You must remind me. Many wines. Will leave it in my bag for Thursday.

@knitness Me too. Just posted horrible, ungrateful blog post about the whole schmozzle.

@lotsofco I totally know that feeling. Actually feeling PROUD of a cat and knowing that you’re anthropomorphizing but still… proud. 🙂

@venks79 But they do have a fantastic domain name.

@titus_atticus Half mine are spam. I want Twitter to identify them. “You are being followed by x, who’s 90% likely to be a lame marketroid.”

Anybody ever run a requirements workshop before? Looking for tips or links to advice.

Hm. Leaving work in the dark. Not so fun.

is cold. Suddenly it turned into winter in the past 4 hours! Too bad Snook won’t let me get oil heater out til ANZAC day. #fb

Pumkin/leek stew is simmering on the stove, and honey nut cookies are baking in the oven.

is warning buddies going to Arts Preview tomorrow night NOT TO POST SPOILERS before I get there! I want my blue ribbon to be a surprise. #fb

@randomknits I just like the idea of introducing trash talk to a knitting competition. YOU BETTER BRING IT, BEEYOTCH! 🙂

spent last 10 minutes arguing over plots of Bloodsport & Kickboxer. Should have known better than to challenge Snook on JCVD ouevre! #fb

got up early to go to Coles & get cat litter since we’re completely out and the cats are pissed. Yet another reason why we don’t have kids.

AWESOME. @grantimahara, my fave Mythbuster (and source of Snook jealousy) is on Twitter! I’m a sucker for a nice guy who builds robots.

@redambition Sell the old one! Probable get a couple hundred bucks to offset The New Hotness.

I think I just saw God in a Snuggie. #fb http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=299756.0

@witty_knitter Oh crap! Thanks for reminder. Was meant to get stew going in slow cooker by now. Oops.

@crumpet He’s intrigued. You must feel we’re tempting you with something. What is it? The siren drug of… CAT OWNERSHIP?? 🙂

is all kinds of messed up from Daylight Savings. Still, got lots done today. Now it’s time for bed– Wait. At 8:30?? Yeah, messed up.

Went for a short run. @runkeeper had a pretty hilarious GPS glitch: http://bit.ly/GtWiX No, I’m not fast enough to run on water!

@runkeeper Think I left wi-fi on this time. Usually it’s fine on normal route, but today was just glitch. Looking forward to next release!

@mrs_sockvictim There’s nothing like running straight off the head into the sunrise. Very refreshing! 🙂

@SupFarn I tend to go overboard with coriander/cilantro and garlic. But you do need a little. Come on! That’s authentic Mexican, that is.

@titus_atticus Well, that was unexpected.

is clearing out the knitting backlog. Stay tuned for a Finished Object report. #fb

has emerged victorious over Evil Lord Tubular Cast-Off. BOOYAH.

@redambition Finally! I thought Italian chef was imaginary. Recorded to watch later. 🙂

Chocolate beetroot cake, soon to have cardamom icing. (I know, weird.) Courtesy of mad baker Snook. http://twitpic.com/2t18j

@rainnwilson Hubby has baked chocolate BEET cake, soon w/ cardamom icing. Very Dwight Shrute. Insisted I tell you. http://twitpic.com/2t18j

has finished Rusted Root! Redid all cast-offs as tubular, which killed me. Looks very nice though. Will blog with photos tomorrow. #fb

nearly forgot about Daylight Savings. Turn your clocks back, NSW people! #fb

is working on the Knitters Guild website. Folks are finally starting to come on board with this whole Internet thing!

@knitness Yay! We were going to get it anyway; it was just a question of how and when. Now to decide how to spend it…

Dealing w/ complainers in Ravelry. I’m like Pres Roslin on BSG Season 1, trying to hold group together in the face of Zarek & his minions.

@knitabulous @randomknits And oddly enough, none of them are volunteering to mod! WHO’DA GUESSED.

@runkeeper RK just auto-tweeted the wrong run! Sent the one prior the one I’d finished. (I’ve since deleted.) Recent bug?

@runkeeper Actually, today’s run doesn’t HAVE option to tweet! And map shows distance flags but not actual route. Should I try reupload?

@sharre Was more that people couldn’t be bothered to hit ignore on NSW threads. It’s not like we have so much traffic it’s hard to keep up.

RT @acatinatree RSVP for the first Sydney Social Media Club event here http://www.smcsyd.eventbrite.com (via @SMCSYD) – I might go to this!

@randomknits You. Are. Unstoppable! Congrats!

@mrs_sockvictim Yikes! So far Peter hasn’t shown much desire to climb up high, thank goodness…

@runkeeper Resending seems to have fixed it, both map shown on phone and Tweet sent from site. Thanks!

2 avocadoes + 1 tomato + 1 clove garlic + 1 lime + ridiculous amount of coriander + salt/pep = heaven. I will never pay for guacamole again.

Possible solution to Twitter/Facebook integration issue: FB app “Selective Twitter Status”! Testing it now. #fb

It worked! Also strips the #fb from the end when it updates. Very nicely done. Now high school FB friends don’t have to hear about #zombies.

@rhagern IS THAT REAL? Holy crap. Details please!

Overheard discussing job applicant: “honestly, I see a lot of myself in him… & it’s the parts of me that I hate.” Not a good impression.

is wondering if the Swing fad is far enough behind us that I could go see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy without feeling like a total poser.

@AusVintageGrrl I’m thinking more post-Swingers fad of mid-90’s. Just flashing back to bad theater dept parties with that stuff on repeat.

Awww, crap. Just remembered we agreed to babysit on BBVD night.

@alyshajane Hey, I’ll raise my hand! Granted, I’m just a blog friend… 🙂

is celebrating being made permanent employee at work (not just contractor)! Can’t believe how far I’ve come in the past year.

My Lightning Look O’ Shame actually compelled people to move down the bus aisle today! Victory. One step closer to Bitchin’ Old Ladydom…

Anybody have Mac w/ Microsoft Office? Just got bit by this bug: http://bit.ly/1NO Need someone to open doc & save as PDF for me.

@kellymcmahon I keep reading that as “Ciao Obama,” like it’s some sort of swanky Italian scupture or something.

@witty_knitter Thanks M-H! Emailed.

RT @henrytapia Loving this vid, makes me miss Sydney: http://is.gd/nOu3 (Me too, and I live here!)

@sharre Idiots at Optus took like a week to port mine. 🙁

@witty_knitter There are others too. A friend recommended Tweetie. But TwitterFon is free and works well enough. 🙂

@kellymcmahon They made explicit rule after OzTBL 1st season. Chick drank like 4 gallons of water before weigh-in. http://tinyurl.com/cw8y8y

just found Greasemoney script that identifies twitter spammers and marketroids. Very useful. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25552

My friend Kate knitted The Stig & entered him in the Easter Show. Seriously. http://tinyurl.com/da5upe

@alyshajane She actually based it on this free pattern: http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter07/PATTfairy.html

On the way to Glebe Point Diner for anniversary dinner. Supposed to be pretty good!

Crispy duck with fig, Brussels sprouts, and barley. SO GOOD. http://twitpic.com/2oc90

Best brussels sprouts EVER. Not pictured: crab & chestnut soup. Made my double boxing workout all worthwhile. Great meal on a rainy night!

Will be attending AIMIA Essential Digital PM Skills workshop at end of month. http://www.aimia.com.au/i-cms?page=4344 Anybody else going?

@sharre I LOVE mine, as you might guess. Even the Snook is seriously swayed. And @AusVintageGrrl has given in?! You will be assimilated.

Huzzah! Booked in for Girl Geek Dinner in two weeks w/ @redambition and @AusVintageGrrl. girlgeekdinnerssydney.blogspot.com

@acatinatree When in doubt, it’s probably the effing SMH site. HATE IT.

As I said on Ravelry, I can’t even watch the Ped-Egg advert without gagging. IT’S A FOOT GRATER. For some reason that makes my skin crawl.

@randomknits @sharre I’m on $39 + $13 optus too, but it’s gone now. 🙁 My data usage is way < 200MB. (I have wifi @ home & work tho.)

@acatinatree Still need one? I’ve got a list purportedly from “Verizon/Sybase + assorted sources”. Can email to you if you like.

@randomknits Pretty sure. Rodd was interested but they pulled it 2 weeks after I got it. I think $59 is lowest Optus now. Will check.

@randomknits Yep, gone. No more plain Yes plans. Just Timeless and Cap for loads more. 🙁

@randomknits Rodd’s plan is to buy one outright, unlock it, and get a cheap plan with decent data. He’s with Exetel; he thinks it’ll work.

Sometimes supporting your wife is making her go to boxing when she’d give anything not to. Because she’ll be glad she went afterwards.

hates this weather. There’s nothing worse than being steamy bus in the pouring rain, getting dripped on by brollies and roof and wet people.

@witty_knitter You’ve got iPhone, right? I use TwitterFon (free from App Store). But no, we have no SMS support in Oz (yet).

is relishing a sunny Fall day in Woolloomooloo. http://twitpic.com/2lfto

is enjoying the chaos. Power just went out all over Sydney CBD. What the heck’s happening? Just walked down 10 flights to get out.

wonders why traffic lights are out on George & William but not around the park? Something to do with train stations? #blackout #sydney

@wookie_man And I hope you didn’t drive. Streets are insane. Fire trucks everywhere and lights are out.

is amused by #sydney #blackout tweets. No #zombies spotted yet. Saw lots of fire trucks in city but no smoke yet. 3G is spotty.

has made it past Central. Power seems to be okay here. Still no #zombies sighted, but smelly Newts make it hard to tell. #blackout #sydney

RT @JennifARGH: New show on Ten; Bondi Zombie. #sydney #blackout #zombies

just visited new giant Harris Farm. (Power is on.) More everything + breads + meat! No #zombies. #sydney #blackout http://twitpic.com/2lkxc

@venks79 Fun, isn’t it? Best excuse for Twitter, I think.

is finally at home with provisions and POWER! Now to fortify doors and improvise #zombie decapitating device. #sydney #blackout

can confirm that Chippo has power and Internets. Suck it, Glebe! #sydney #blackout

has just realized that all of these silly #zombie tweets are going straight to Facebook. Maybe I should turn that off.

@randomknits Me too. Yet my inner 3-year-old also thinks she wears pretty, pretty dresses.

RT @jannism: Skype for iphone ready tomorrow http://tinyurl.com/cgjy4a Holy crap! I may have to finally pay for Skype credits. 2c/min to US!

Gearing up for a run outside. In the dark. (Come on, Daylight Savings…)

Listening to the rain. Run postponed. I’m hardcore, but not that hardcore.

@virtual4now A steady rain I could do, but this is turning full on and off like a faucet. I’ll do boxing today instead.

Just installed Skype for iPhone and successfully tried it out. Hey family, you can call me for free at work/home now!
