    @steven_noble I just mean that coughing “bullshit!” while someone is speaking is rude too, but it goes for anybody. Meow is gendered.


    @knitness I’d seen that. Original and interesting! I reserve the right to change my mind if it’s a brainless “trend” 5 years from now tho πŸ™‚


    Wondering if Appliances Online has an EOFY sale… @DDsD?


    Just listened to co-worker call person who won a smartphone. Gave them a choice of like 6. Person picked iPhone4. We were not surprised.


    @brodrigu Hahahaha, no. This was a drawing, an actual contest. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits What do you mean? It’s still there.


    @drkknits You might have to “show all” rather than “show updated”. Maybe reader has hidden it because you’ve already viewed it.


    @drkknits Your Viking vampire porn wish is my command. http://bit.ly/mBlr5z


    Me: “Would you still call a single bar of Twix a Twix? Are Twix fractal?” Snook: “I think a single bar is actually a unix.” HA.


    @toastman He disagrees. “But the packet just says Twix. Not “Twix double pack” or any such.”


    @henrytapia Is it the Twix thing? Sorry. Yeah, that was my choc-o-late.


    @toastman He’s going off on a tangent now about the whole deviled egg paradox, and sandwiches, and now I’m all kinds of hungry.


    No knitting for me tonight. Instead I’m going to Broadway so a little old Asian masseuse man can beat my legs to a pulp. *bliss*


    Wow. Ravelry got hacked. Time to change passwords!


    My hair is just long enough to go into plaits again. Happy day!


    I posted about the Ravelry hack in the Australian Knitters forum, just in case folks didn’t see the news.

    Anyone done a training course with IRM or SoftEd? Trying to decide which’d be better. Advice from fellow BA’s most welcome… (@brown_note)


    @brown_note Thanks. Both look equivalent to me: http://bit.ly/iKl6Qy http://bit.ly/koffx3. Just trying to come up with a differentiator…


    @brown_note Just to formalise what I’ve been learning on the job for 2.5 years, identify any gaps, and do my job better, really!


    @brown_note Excellent. Thanks a lot for your advice! I appreciate it. πŸ™‚


    @imdominating Good god, it looks like a broken ankle waiting to happen. (For this clumsy giraffe, anyway.)


    @imdominating Meet @kunaal84. I told him to follow you (since he’s watching your GoT rips). He likes all the same shit we like.


    @imdominating @kunaal84 Except for R.Pattz.

    RT @betsybookworm: Well said, Penny Wong. Just another reminder that she is fantastic. http://bit.ly/iOmFjh


    Hey @SenatorBushby. Being “sorry that you were offended” is a classic NON-apology. I’m sorry you’re a jerk.


    @steven_noble General rudeness is at least egalitarian. #meow is sexist, and even worse, it’s dumb & unimaginative.


    RedmineApp for iPhone http://j.mp/kjAl9P via @redmineapp. // $8 for the privilege of working on the bus?! @venks79, can I expense it?


    @randomknits Get @gilmae to install mythtv for you! Time shifting is the shit. πŸ™‚


    @venks79 Seems to work great! I’m in. But I thought I’d need to be on the VPN to access?


    @randomknits Ah, I thought it was unusual that you didn’t have something!


    @prestoprontoapp Please don’t spam people about your app.

    @thisismywww @redambition Cycling is up 60%. Victoria Road is always gonna suck though. Bad design. http://bit.ly/lGDaMj


    Scurrying out for a run between downpours. And what is that yellow light in the sky? Vitamin D, here I come!


    A yahoo-who-shall-not-be-named said you should register to win an iPad, and that the app “will be great.” http://yhoo.it/jiPNWD


    @mumbrella Interesting. I’ve been to Grand Rapids (dated a guy from there). Dying? It’s full of all the rich folks who left Detroit.

    WHOA, big lightning outside our building. Storm is getting closer.


    I’m with Cate. Sooner or later, we’re going to have to pay a price for climate change. #imwithCate


    @thisismywww What issue? You mean the one where people attacked Cate Blanchett for being rich? Because that’s what I’m talking about.


    @redambition @thisismywww Besides, it was a stupid promise that shouldn’t have been made. I’d rather they break it.


    @blakkat The question is, is your desk under water? πŸ™‚


    @thisismywww It won’t be coming back to me. I’m happy to pay. Electricity is too cheap here anyway; there’s no impetus to conserve.


    @thisismywww What, just ask corporations nicely to stop polluting? I don’t think that’s gonna work. Economic sanctions are going to happen.


    @thisismywww If we don’t impose them ourselves, the EU will do it for us. Qantas flights are already being penalised. (Check the SMH story)

    @knitabulous Great job!!


    Jamie’s 30Min Meal #17: Pork Chops & Crispy Crackling, Smashed Potatoes, Minty Cabbage, Peaches N Cream: http://bit.ly/kp46PO. Eh, okay.


    Another power “blackout” – except this time it was us overloading power with too many heaters! Good thing @dancingman put in that switch…


    @dancingman You put in a breaker on our main switch. Good thing too; I’d have had to run out to the main box in the rain!


    I bought some awesome new sunglasses yesterday. Just in case you’re wondering why it’s pouring rain.


    As requested, my new sunnies. And Sydney’s crappy weather. http://twitpic.com/54d111

    Knitters – anybody going to SSK today? Thinking of heading over to Newtown this arvo…


    @lemon_lime @kunaal84 Sure, will email you guys…


    Just got phone call from a friend who is now a Thermomix rep! Anybody interested in going to a demo? Can put you in touch…


    @stufromoz Google it. Like a blender that also gets hot? They use em on Masterchef sometimes, Heston Blumenthal, etc. Fancy foody gadget.


    @stufromoz They don’t sell them in shops, only via parties. I think they’re expensive too. @mrs_sockvictim went to one…


    Whoa! Power just went out for a second in Chippo. Anybody else??


    Tonight’s Jamie meal: Pork Chops w/ Crackling, Smashed Potato, Minty Cabbage, Peaches cooked in 33min BY ME! http://twitpic.com/53l572


    @venks79 Huh. This was our first ever. Just darkness for 1-2 sec, then back. Doesn’t seem to have affected anybody else. Maybe just us??


    @knitabulous Yay! Good luck!! You’ll be AWESOME.

    I wore the dyed orange cardy. I like it! May still paint to even out few spots, but it’s much better than cream. http://twitpic.com/52xvmc


    @SMinney Yeah, everybody at work seems to like it. They all thought the blotchiness was intentional!


    @squozen Hahahaha, I was gonna say…


    @SMinney Addictive. I had to leave it at home today lest I get distracted at work. πŸ™‚


    @SMinney I was already using my iPhone for a lot of crafty things; this just gives me more screen room!


    @mrs_sockvictim Hahahaha, that was quick! How’d you get it??


    RT @venks79: Seen a dark blue sedan involved in an accident at corner of Centennial Ave & Elizabeth Pde, Lane Cove at 3pm, 26th May? Msg …


    @knitdra @mrs_sockvictim She sold it to me! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚


    @drkknits I know. Rodd sent me a link about it ages ago. I think I shared it on Reader…


    @drkknits Hahaha. It helps that I am apparently the person that everyone in the world sends their wacky ukulele links to.


    Our end-of-month beers tonight featured a blatant Sam Adams rip-off. Seriously? “John Boston”? So bad it’s funny. http://twitpic.com/535hkq


    @brodrigu 4X is a fairly well known Australian beer from Queensland. It’s piss, but I don’t think its a knockoff.


    @supercres After I shared it, I found a MeFi thread with a link to an essay from the author. I read the book myself and was repulsed.


  • Shared today on Twitter

    @Linda_Moore Ha, @devvyleys sent me that link this morning. πŸ™‚


    Hahaha… that’s THREE people who have now sent me the link to the knitted ukulele cover. My interests are just that obvious. πŸ™‚

    @knitabulous @AusVintageGrrl GAHHHH. That’s 4 people today. πŸ™‚


    Reading the morning news on an iPad while drinking coffee feels civilized and tomorrow, like reading a newspaper from the future. #douchebag


    I have been out-hipstered. There are TWO dudes sitting together on this bus, both with iPads. (Not @stufromoz either; I checked.)


    Just discovered the “Send to Twitter” option in Google Reader. Annoyingly, it doesn’t work.

    I am probably the only person in Sydney who loves paying her mortgage. I just love seeing that number go down every time.


    @crumpet @squozen I use a Mac app called MoneyWell that has an iPhone app that syncs. I am in love with it.


    @squozen It costs a bit, but they have a big fancy new version about to drop. Took me a little while to get my head around. I get it now!


    @squozen It’d be nice. But as a fellow crackmonkey, I like logging into my bank every other day anyway. πŸ™‚


    RT @drkknits: international yarn bombing day? oh FFS. // Word.


    @squozen We’re mostly just tracking; don’t stick to concrete budget yet. But the “envelope” idea is powerful once you get your head round it


    @drkknits You’re such an artistic snob. Don’t you realise your shawl would be so much more PUNK RAWK and AUTHENTIC wrapped around a pole?


    @squozen We also have a shared Google spreadsheet where we track overall monthly spending in accordance with Balanced Money Formula. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits I suppose it’s better to be a shit-stirrer than a shit-knitter? πŸ™‚


    @drkknits Obviously, so they can say the “This isn’t your Grandma’s knitting!” stupidity for millionth time. Tatting, say, isn’t as funny.


    @thisismywww Every damn day is Geek Pride Day in my house. πŸ™‚


    @Ezzles The house is good because I can compare to how much it’s worth and feel like I’m not in the hole. Little by little!


    Whole office is placing their bets on State of Origin tournaments on topbetta.com. I have never understood Rugby League.


    @thisismywww Oh, I like football plenty. Rugby Union all the way. I even enjoy gridiron and AFL. Sports-haters bore me.


    @gilmae @thisismywww When I first asked the Snook to explain the difference, he told me simply: “This is a Rugby Union house.” πŸ™‚


    Castlereagh is like a parking lot. Damn it! @mrs_sockvictim is delivering my iPad and I’M GONNA BE LATE! πŸ™


    @NL_AFFILIATES Thanks, spammer. Blocked and reported.


    I made it home and I have the iPad in my possession! Thanks @mrs_sockvictim. WOOO! NOW SYNC, YOU BASTARD. SYNC!


    This is me and the iPad2, which I named Marmoset. (We have a monkey naming scheme.) http://twitpic.com/52arh0


    @jasony It wasn’t really planned as a business/study aid – just a shiny toy! πŸ™‚


    Pressure Cooker Moroccan Lamb Tagine = very good. Eating prunes out of the bag while cooking it = very bad. BAD. *moan*


    @jasony Not yet! Took a long rime to sync. Will get more apps tomorrow. πŸ™‚


    @_brigita_ I have different columns for all my groups. And it can post to Facebook. And it syncs across different machines.


    @jayamyler We went there a fortnight ago. Food was good, but service was way too slow. Maybe just Friday night?


    @jasony Sweet! Awesome tip. Grateful for any more you think of! πŸ™‚


    @_brigita_ You can use them for a search term, or mentions, new followers, whatev. Even FB updates. Lists are the best though.


    @rajsingh2505 Hahaha… Our media box is called “Monkey” and our server is “Bonobo,” so I needed something smaller than those. πŸ™‚


    The only negative to the iPad2 so far is that I can tell how good the retina display on iPhone4 is, and I miss it.


    Oh yes. I am that douchebag tweeting from an iPad on the bus. (Tethered via Wi-Fi to iPhone = extra nerd points!)


    @devvyleys That. Is. AWESOME. Mine came with a canvas gig bag, but that one is so much cooler!

    Just realised I’ve been tweeting my runs with the WRONG @rajsingh! Sorry, other Raj! I run with @rajsingh2505. πŸ™‚


    @mrs_sockvictim From previous tweet: http://twitpic.com/51frvv. No idea how the hell I did that.


    @makarakarn Hot. Water. Bottle.


    RT @Y7News: Strauss-Kahn DNA found on maid’s clothes: reports http://yhoo.it/m4Wb8b // GROSSSSSSSS.


    @gusseting @knitabulous Well, I have another pot of the dye. Would it do any good to try again in a bigger pot?


    @drkknits If people reckon it would improve it, I guess.


    @knitabulous You’re gonna have to send me another email with all the instructions for that. I like to follow directions.


    @mrs_sockvictim What? Is that yours??


    RT @mrs_sockvictim: ipad for sale http://alturl.com/jug5r // MINE MINE MINE! ALL MINE!


    @gusseting We didn’t bother with phones or sim cards when we were there last time; just used free WiFi when we could get it.


    @gusseting But we were only visiting fam, not doing business or anything…


    @knitabulous There appear to be some videos of people playing it on YouTube. I shall do my best.


    Finally, an AWESOME True Blood series 4 preview: http://on.io9.com/lzSjRP. VERY EXCITED.


    @kunaal84 I thought of you as soon as I got on the bus and it started pouring. I’M SORRY!


    Dear Gary Mehigan: This is how you make Shepherd’s Pie, you twit. Love, me and Saint Delia. http://twitpic.com/51vajr


    @wen1965 Exactly! Cottage Pie is a fine thing, but no need to go muddling the waters…


    I wonder if Mr Snook is having fun at #brewshare at @localtaphouseDL. IF ONLY HE USED TWITTER HE COULD TELL US ALL RIGHT NOW.


    Baked some special treats for tomorrow. It’s Tanvir’s last day and @rajsingh2505’s birthday! http://twitpic.com/51vjgm


    @chewxy Ack! What’d he have you to do a poor duck?


    Note to self: when you bake cookies and Snook isn’t around to police you, you will eat the cookies. The trick is to not eat ALL the cookies.


    @codepo8 He is the guardian of my nobler self… the one that doesn’t scarf down still-warm cookies in the kitchen in her sweatpants.


    @bowenvale321 But I tweeted them! Thwarted by my own social networking!


    @AusVintageGrrl These are practically compost cookies. I threw in everything: 4 packs of M&Ms (inc. coconut!), half a pack of Freckles…


    @gusseting Nope. I’m not nearly that cool.


    @altonbrown Well, I am *now*. Too bad I can’t get Vidalias in Australia, I think. πŸ™

    @devvyleys Awesome! Congrats to your big little girl! πŸ™‚


    Good grief. Broadway was okay, but the William Street wind tunnel nearly knocked me over. Glad I wore my big coat.
