It’s a little depressing reading about really cool conferences that I know I’m not going to attend.

---

@nolim1t Ha, NOT. I mean an actual work-related thing, not a Carnival of Hipsters. 🙂

---

@nolim1t No. Just one here in Sydney.

@witty_knitter I’ve got that Marie Antoinette book, BTW, if you want to read it.

---

This headache has been going on for 12+ hours. I feel like I’m going to barf. Does that qualify as a migraine? #backtobed

---

Well, whaddaya know. Knitted vests work a lot better when you remember to put ARMHOLES IN THEM.

---

@knitabulous WAY TO GO!

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitdra I knew that was coming. 🙂

---

RT @aimee_maree: “Designers learn to code so they know when a dev is lying to them” @chrisbernard << That is gold 😉 // Same goes for BAs!

---

@aimee_maree I spent a good hour yesterday finally learning what a Drupal feature is and why the term “revert” is used so confusingly. 🙂

---

@randomknits I want to praise the knitting, but all I can think is: BARBIE VAGINA PINK!!!!

---

I am the Hermione of physio. Shane’s very happy with my improvement! (@ The Sports Clinic) http://t.co/kmuGWjar

---

I just ousted @nicstaru2 as the mayor of The Sports Clinic on @foursquare! http://t.co/QjnRXmk2

---

On one hand, the phrase “muscle wastage” really sucks. On the other hand, I managed my first squat in over 6 months!

---

I tried to be a cynic, but @amandapalmer’s Bed Song video made me cry. I found her wedding ring really affecting too. http://t.co/GJy49cfl

@eobeara Unfortunately I gave in to temptation this week, so I’m back in the land of Carb Flu.

This year’s SMH Half Marathon has a RELAY option! http://t.co/0ahNepGV Too bad I won’t be up to 7km by then. That would be so fun!

---

For those following the Great Expired Sausage Experiment: it’s seven hours later, and I aten’t dead yet.

---

@drkknits Sweet! I just bought red sunnies today. Clearly we are starting a Thing.

---

Happy Valentine’s Day! Bring on the junk food. @ The Dip http://t.co/1iRPwLgp

---

Grilled corn, hot wings, sliders, pulled pork nachos, chili fries, mini hot dogs… and now the ice cream sundae. #bliss

---

@mrs_sockvictim Have a wonderful trip Miss Fee! See you in a week!

---

Just another Friday in the Rocks… http://t.co/T2r3IWuf

---

@drkknits Woohoo! We are listening to Key-dollarsign-ha in the office this morning. Having the same effect for me.

I just bought @ColettePatterns Cinnamon pattern. Great dress, and all proceeds today go to support marriage equality! http://t.co/cXqdC443

---

@emmainsydney Brilliant, thanks! Have forwarded @technocrat_au’s website to my friend. Will be on the lookout for more for you… 🙂

---

I find it amusing that SEO “experts” (i.e. spammers) think I’d give them business when they don’t have an online presence themselves.

---

@knitdra I’ll buy yours from you! 🙂

---

@joshmillard Shh. There’s a secret club of devotees to old Tweetdeck. You can still find it online…

---

@knitdra Awww, thanks! If it’s free, I might be able to talk Rodd into going with me. 🙂

---

@RoseRed_Shoes Yeah. I’ve got one freebie (for me); I’d like one more (for him)

---

Getting my twee on for Valentine’s Day! http://t.co/AfqsGjXa

---

It occurs to me that with my purple shoes and skirt covered in owls, my “twee” is another person’s “manic hipster clown.”

---

@rachievaichie Yeah. My stepmom made my sister and I them for Christmas. Basically like a necklace!

---

The breakfast sausages were 3 days expired. I ate them; @the_snook didn’t. At the end of the day, we shall see who is right and who is dead.

---

@justalex75 Take some time off and see if it fixes itself. I didn’t – and still dealing with it a year later! Knees are tricky things.

---

@lemon_lime At least a lot of the comments are good. Looks like there’s a movement to fire that bigoted asshole teacher.

---

Amazing talk at #ggdsyd tonight about Aaron Swartz. Lots of stuff I didn’t know about him…

---

This is by far the most subversive #ggdsyd talk I’ve heard. She’s reading a transcript of an Anonymous video! It’s cool. I like it.

---

Look! @redambition is talking at #ggdsyd! (KNITTERS GUILD REPRESENT.) http://t.co/xV9VkYzQ

---

@nazzer I had debate with @the_snook after about your topic. Shouldn’t the net be decentralised enough to withstand such gov meddling?

---

@nazzer Sure, I can see where Syria can cut off ties to world. But could US or AUS do it? I think there’d be major outcry, wouldn’t there?

---

Success! Donation made. Now for a cookie. (@ Red Cross Donor Centre) http://t.co/kyUKwYGS

---

Does anybody remember the name of the company at @GGDSydney last night that was looking for Drupal devs? I might know one. 🙂 #ggdsyd

---

@Helen__H Wait, you were there? Dammit! I was sitting like three seats to the left of @redambition!

---

@wheelyweb When I switched, Telstra gave me a better package for less than Optus. Being willing to switch gives you leverage! Worth a try.

---

@wheelyweb That’s weird. I went into Telstra shop at Broadway 18 mth ago and said I wanted to switch, and he did me a deal. New policy?

---

@catehstn I’ll be interested to hear what you think! I got a Fitbit One for Xmas. I like it but I worry I’ll lose it since it’s so tiny!

Dear @the_snook: Will you be my Valentine… at @DoTheDip? 😛 http://t.co/hSYBAeLY

---

@Illdrinn Unfortunately I come from the Midwest, so I live with this reality. What I paid in Sydney would buy a MANSION in Indiana. 🙁

---

@tali3sin I’m not here against my will. 🙂

---

@tali3sin There are other downsides to living there. Having to drive everywhere, shit weather half the year, crap coffee, etc…

---

@tali3sin My partner & I talk about moving there someday. When I’m older and I care less about going out, etc.

---

@tali3sin In a parallel dream world, I am rich enough to alternate summers in Sydney and Chicago.

---

@Illdrinn We actually checked prices when we were home at Christmas. My brother bought a foreclosed farmhouse for a song.

---

@laimelde congratulations!!

---

Dear Tegan & Sara: I would get more work done if I didn’t have to stop every 3 minutes and favourite another of your songs on Spotify.

---

@Kat13v Good on you. I’m trying again on Wednesday. Got permission from the doc this time. 🙂

---

@tali3sin Chicago in the summer is a wonderful thing. Lake, sun, concerts, park, festivals, baseball, everything.

Saying farewell to @trpurcell in the office! http://t.co/VV7uHPSW

@that_alison Google it. It’s corn that’s been treated in a special way.

---

Apparently Margaret & David are programming Rage this weekend. That is awesome. However I am old and sleepy, so I will set the DVR.

---

@steven_noble Very cool! Jude sounds like a great kid. 🙂

---

Dear Leopard Print Trench Coat in the Louis Vuitton window: I love you, but I would wear you with pants.

---

@codepo8 I like the use of pink and blue. BECAUSE I’M A GIRL, AND I LIKE BARBIES.

---

@codepo8 Sadly, Computer Engineer Barbie is gazing at me with betrayal. I’m sorry, Barbie. Your pink specs are awesome.

---

@randomknits I think they should just be more honest and call it DIABETES FLAVOUR.

---

I’ve seen tweets about storms in the Mountains & down the coast… but still no rain in Chippendale. There’s a deliciously cool breeze though.

---

@knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @Helen__H It’s raining now! We had two brief storm bands come through.

---

The cool change has made baking less torturous. Snickerdoodles in process…

---

Cooktop repair guy is here, putting new motherboard in Blanco. Fingers crossed…

---

Guess what? “Cheap” part didn’t fix it. Next part to try costs triple. I am really, really lucky that Blanco is covering as warranty job.

---

@stufromoz Fancy induction. Works great… when it works. Starting to think Blanco quality is less than promised.

---

@eileenDCoE This was a weird new recipe. They didn’t spread much; remained very round and tall like little domes. Tasty though.

---

Cautiously optimistic about my knee. Three days of foam rollering and exercises have resulted in the loud click nearly disappearing!

---

@jojoconstance I should have made banana cake too. Don’t think these were my best cookies. That’s what I get for trying a new recipe…

---

@Helen__H Obviously you have been kidnapped and your Evil Roam Roller is actually controlling your Twitter account. Nobody loves a roller!

---

@makarakarn Nope. Fail. They have no idea; they’re just swapping parts at random. Next one is 3x the cost. BUGGER.

---

@makarakarn I complained last week, so they’re fixing it as warranty, thank goodness. But we can still only use 1 burner out of 3 til fixed!

The garden renovation project is taking shape! Pavers and wall blocks chosen… http://t.co/rPYSmmxO

Me: “I’ve just realised I’ve got FOUR weeks from TODAY to finish my Easter Show entries!” Snook: “Get knittin’, stinker.”

Watching doc about first moon landing. Tears are inevitable.
