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. šŸ™‚

@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!

Trying to restart my heart after getting email from CEO w/ feedback on site we haven’t officially launched yet. But feedback was ALL GOOD!

Snook went to silly @hAPPlication Optus iPhone tent at Circ Quay. No 3GSs to play w/ or even view. No info that isn’t on website. FAIL!

Also, Optus actually put a sticker over the “S” on the iPhone tent sign. Must have had too many people pissed that it wasn’t really there!

Holy crap. Colleague just gifted me brand new copy of Sims 3. Sweeeeet. (This could be a bad, life-sucking thing.)

Starting to worry about this game. I have a 1000 page book to read, running and knitting to do, etc. I don’t need another obsession!

RT @chrisgander: Our new social network has just launched! GetUpGo Beta is online -> http://www.getupgo.com. Check it out! šŸ™‚

How can I be the only person to have gotten on this 461 bus in 20 minutes? AM I ON A GHOST BUS?!

ARGH. Just spent 45 minutes trying and failing to recreate the Snook as a Sim. Somehow it came out all Freddie Mercury.

Just completed a 5.25 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/RNIZ5 #runkeeper

@RTRR Thanks! Still taking walk breaks to ease back into it, but shins are feeling pretty good…

@AusVintageGrrl @sharre @redambition Nah, just suggested as a possible topic! More interesting than what was scheduled. You can lead it!

Holy crap! Just sitting here quietly when foot-long piece of render just broke off around the sliding door and SMASHED on the floor. WTF?!

Finally working on the web-goddess.org redesign…

New web-goddess.org redesign is up! All credit to @scrubbles for the awesome header (which is the first time I’ve ever been drawn!).

@witty_knitter Just odd, because it doesn’t feel/look damp at all. Is your builder free to have a look? šŸ™‚

@Ezzles Hahaha… Yet you’d be surprised how many people get it wrong!

@lotsofco Wow, thanks for the plug, Max! Really, all credit to Matt @scrubbles for coming up with the idea in the first place. šŸ™‚

I feel CRAP. Slept instead of going for my long run. Am I finally going to get this damn flu after everybody else in the office has had it?

OK, it’s 22nd of June & the whole Optus @hAPPlication (terrible name, btw) thing is supposed to start. Why no prices or info on the website?

On my way to the Blue Mountains to visit the Knitters Guild in Blaxland. Weee!

Merrin has a bell to start her meetings! I want a bell!

Great meeting! Blue Mountains group was very welcoming. My “Knitternet” presentation went really well; lots of good questions & discussion.

@witty_knitter Optus want to charge users $10/month to use data they’re already paying for (via laptop tethering). This is a way around it.

And just like that, I’ve reached my daily limit for arguing with racist, homophobic little boys. Sometimes I wonder why I bother!

Normally my handknits get a few comments. But today’s giant Grandpa cardie w/ intarsia map-of-the-world? Not a peep. Maybe they’re scared.

I love it when a plan comes together!

@falkonfly Not Scary! Just daggy. šŸ™‚ http://bit.ly/2MFxt

Optus processed unlock request in less than 2 business days! Lesson: get girl to call & work the charm. (Now to procure iPhone 3G Sā€¦)

@AusVintageGrrl That’s the plan… Heh heh. (It all hinges upon him being able to find a pre-paid 3GS somewhere. Might be tricksy.)

Harris Farm Broadway’s new deli has chicken breast for $6.99/kg! Also, they’ve hired some cute new guys as spruikers. Shopping WIN.

@AusVintageGrrl Never underestimate what you can find in the dodgy shops of Capital Square, my friend.

@Ezzles Um… Well, people do. And it pays for other people’s salaries. *ducks* I NEVER SAID I WAS PROUD!

@Ezzles Ahhh, we don’t do that one. šŸ™‚

@sharre Knitting flat and sewing is easiest for newbies. Especially the type that are basically squares sewn together!

Hm. Spotlight Search on iPhone doesn’t search text of emails, only to, from, and subject. In case, like me, you were wondering.

I forgot to say – my sore throat didn’t eventuate into anything. I remain free of the Dreaded Lurgy. #temptingfate

Sky is blue! Time for a run.

Standing under a tree. Blue sky was a damn LIE! http://yfrog.com/10kbccj

Just completed a 4.16 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/Ftig2 #runkeeper

Optus iPhone customers – anybody managed to send MMS yet? I tried a while ago but recipient didn’t get it.

@Bex_the_Femme Sent. Tell me if you get it.

@Dextress YES! Haven’t been able to send or receive myself.

@Bex_the_Femme OOH, PUPPY! I got it!

@Bex_the_Femme Ahhh, so it just took a while! Good, it’s working then.

Managed to send/receive MMS. The sending just seemed to take a little while to arrive.

@justjussi Should work. Search twitter for “iphone vodafone mms.” Other folks have it working.

Heading to the city for knitting at the Grace Hotel. Hope it’s not raining again.

@RTRR Yep, evil Optus. I’m on cheap plan they don’t advertise anymore. Called today to get it unlocked. šŸ˜›

RT @ReDrUmNZ: Free Tethering for Optus AU via iPhone! Hack: http://bit.ly/gpf9y Instructions: http://bit.ly/3G66wI <- Um, worked for me!

@twelveeyes We always take an empty suitcase for Old Navy. Love it! Just watch their wacky (big) sizing. Try everything on.

There are like 40+ homemade peanut butter cookies packed up to go to work today. My team kicked ass this week; they earned it.

@RTRR The real test is whether I can resist. I allowed myself to lick the beaters, but cookies don’t fit with new health kick! šŸ™‚

@redambition He printed me out a graph of the previous three years to shame me. I love my doctor, but that suuuucked.

TweetDeck supposedly available for iPhone now, but it sure as heck ain’t coming up in the Australian App Store. šŸ™

Ahh, TweetDeck just appeared in Aussie App Store. Downloading…

@RTRR Nah, but it claims to support it. I only have one account so I haven’t tried it.

An otherwise lovely Greek salad ruined by the balsamic that is now dribbled down my shirt. *sigh*

@RTRR Much better! Got new shoes. I’ve cut back my running; only once so far this week (w/ 2 gym sessions). Will do proper run tomorrow.

@BostonSydney Hey, you’re here now! How ate you settling in?

I feel suspiciously crap. Throat has been sore all day. Please, Mr Lurgy, I thought you were gonna skip me!

Woo! New iPhone OS 3.0 being downloaded right now…

@sharre Ha. Well, I feel partially responsible for sucking some of you in to this iPhone world, so I have to keep you up-to-date!

New OS uploaded with no dramas for me. It adds a couple new apps, like Voice Memo and search. Haven’t used much yet though!

@andrewsayer Nah, mine went through without a hitch at 7.30 this morning.

ARGH. Trying to deal w/ a persistent cynic. How can you go through life ALWAYS assuming the worst of everyone & everything? So frustrating.

@sharre Except he isn’t happily surprised. He WANTS things to work out terribly badly so he’s right. Refuses to accept when they don’t.

@steverunner It happens to everyone who puts him/herself out there. Shrug it off. You have plenty of supporters and fans!

Hooray! Previously sick female co-worker has turned up ready to play soccer, which means I’m off the hook. Phew.

@coach_chris I always liked the idea that the real difference is a race number. If you join a race, you’re a runner no matter how slow.

@noodle_bar Hello! My favorite dish is Yaki Soba with a side of gyoza. Yummmmm….

This “snow in Sydney” business is all a big joke. I’m 10 floors up in East Sydney and I don’t see any. #sydneysnowreport

Anybody know of a good, cheap place in Sydney CBD to get some materials printed/bound?

Me via SMS: “The Internet just died. And we have no meats.” Snook via SMS: “And my bus just rear-ended a Porsche.”

@nocto Rewash. I don’t trust rainwater, especially if it comes off dirty roofs or trees!

@shanea Ugh. If I never see a stupid uni girl wearing black tights under denim cutoffs IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER again it will be too soon.

Wednesday started with pouring rain and trip to the doctor where I got 2 shots & lecture about my weight. Can’t get any worse, I suppose.

Shared today on Twitter

@shanea I have no idea what that means, but congratulations Nerd! šŸ™‚

@justjussi I have a niece that will be PERFECT for. Yay! Lovely dress… Can’t wait to make it.

Ahhhh. It’s only when you get hated by one of your devs that you feel like a real B.A.

@imdominating HAPPY BURFDAY, CUZ!

Oh for god’s sake. They’re going to make me play soccer tomorrow.

@andrewsayer If you are on contract, they’ll do it for free. I looked it up cuz I’m planning to do that myself soon. (Upgrade yay!)

First time at Spudds in a fortnight. I feel wrung out, in a good way. Won’t be able to lift my arms tomorrow though.

Sudden realization: business analyst = stage manager. And just like that, I’m actually using my college degree for something!

Come on, rain! Pour down! (I REALLY don’t want to play soccer.)

@eileenDCoE Got guilted into subbing in for a coed work team. Still hoping my services won’t be needed…

Waiting for train to Milsons Point so I can deliver my knitted outfit to newborn Bryson Burton. Photo forthcoming!

Combination of sleeping baby and sudden downpour precluded pics. But knitted goods have been delivered!

Hahaha… 140 Edward Cullens have been created so far for Sims 3. They do suffer from lack of sparkle though. http://bit.ly/mLTdX

Holy crap. Ice Rink for Winter Festival this week is completely sold out already: http://winterfestival.eventbrite.com/

@misswired There’s some mention of buying tickets at the rink. Don’t know if that was only if any were left over though. But $17 for 45min!

Just completed a 4.24 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/14dGU7 #runkeeper

Yay! Rest + new shoes + short, slow jog + walk breaks = ZERO shin pain.

Hardcore knitter: grafting toes at 8:20am, then putting socks straight on feet to wear to work. Lovely warm Noro wool socks.

@witty_knitter I debated for 2 seconds, then had a similar reaction to @Bex_the_Femme.

@witty_knitter Hey, good on them. But I’m pretty sure there have been more than that at the ABC Knit Ins.
