    It is so creepy when the air conditioner in the office shuts off. My typing SEEMS VERY LOUD.


    RT @VenessaHunt: MobileActive to partner with MIG – http://bit.ly/aEVoZG <<< we are in SMH @mobileembrace!! woohoo!


    @epaulette @zedsains Don’t tweet contest yet! 2.5 is on staging, NOT production. Another day or two, eager beavers. 🙂


    @getupgo SN signup page isn’t ready quite yet! Just bear in mind. We’re on staging, not prod. 🙂


    Three cheers for the handsome and handy Mr Snook, who fixed our leaky toilet using only his ingenuity and $15 supplies from Kmart!

    Home improvement Sunday. On third trip to try to find monkey wrench to fix our now-disassembled toilet. Oops.


    GOING TO SCREAM. Follow instructions exactly with proper tools, and toilet still leaks. ARRRRRRRRRRGH.


    @Lauren_lolly_ There are several others, but they’re not always online as much as me. I tend to be a bit of a focal point for the team.


    Finally a win. Airport Express is set up and iTunes is streaming through TV speakers. Sweeeeeeeet.


    @Lauren_lolly_ No, my stupid leaky toilet is causing me stress. This is just sticks and string and electrons, really. 🙂


    Warm, cozy pub complete with roaring wood fire. And beer. *sigh* DIY? What DIY?


    Interesting things happening on the Knitters Guild website… http://bit.ly/dCSzpR


    @Kat13v Refresh the News page. I hit submit just as I saw your tweet. 🙂


    @Kat13v We got back from the pub ages ago. Nearly about bedtime though…


    Feeling good abou weekend despite lack of running and utter failure at toilet fixing.

    Who’s up for knitting 50m of I-cord? Not I, said the cat.


    @SallyPompom @WittyKnitter Would it help if I hint that the I-cord would be silver? 🙂


    @mrs_sockvictim It’s today! I might go if you do… 🙂


    @Kat13v @witty_knitter Heh. I noticed that too. 🙂


    @witty_knitter @mrs_sockvictim I went home for a shower. On my way now…


    @Diepdin Thousands and thousands. Would have to run “dual phase” or some such. Not really possible.


    What are good shows on @SevenNetworkau? I want to boycott but it’s hard with a DVR. What do I unsub from? #muckraking #homophobic #bastards

    Only in the Knitters Guild does someone snail mail bug reports complete with printed out screenshots.


    The most amazing Metafilter thread of all time: http://bit.ly/aq2le5. Two Russian girls saved from sex trafficking. It’s like a movie.


    Argh. That was the MetaTalk thread. Here’s the actual Metafilter thread: http://bit.ly/agBccB.


    Electrician came over to discuss our kitchen plans. My induction cooktop is looking problematic. BUGGER.


    Just booked in with new dentists. Holy cow! How much do you guys pay for cleaning + checkup? This seems high to me…


    @witty_knitter Who is it? Are they accepting new patients? 🙂


    There are 2000+ people in the AK group. A couple of flags by the same few people is hardly a mandate. COME ON, GUYS.


    @bellsknits I’ve been told people are agitating to flag all non-knitting posts on AK, despite them being allowed. More work for mods.


    @sharre That’s the best response, I think. I’m putting a few other strategies in place too…


    @that_alison The irony is that there aren’t any anymore. We took them all away. Destashing is the only one with hard rules.


    @that_alison I’ve just made tidied up the old rules/guidelines and linked them: http://bit.ly/9gG0sl Sound okay?


    @sharre Hooray! I’m a fan. I may even be able to contribute. 🙂


    @TimBags Dude, induction is FROM THE FUTURE. You can boil water in like 90s. Besides, getting gas into flat would be a couple grand.


    @antipathy_now That’s what the bulk of them seem to be charging. The first place in Glebe was 2x as much! Eek!


    @chenchaoyi0333 The cooktops are more: $2K-3K. It’s very fast to heat/cool. Other advantages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooker


    Guild members: I’m submitting my Website Subcommittee Proposal tomorrow. Who’s willing to give feedback on the draft?


    @Lauren_lolly_ It would probably be a little boring if you’re not a member. The intricacies of sub-committees are not for the faint-hearted!


    @witty_knitter Yep. Nearly done. Sending in a couple minutes.


    @witty_knitter I sent to your Bigpond. That okay?


    @drkknits It’s okay, I think I got it covered. 10am I’ll be handing it in at the meeting! 🙂


    @bellsknits She did. We had a nice email back and forth about it but ultimately she felt I should just kill it.


    @Diepdin Problem is you need a LOT of leccy and separate circuit for cooktop. We might not have enough power and our place is hard to wire.


    @Diepdin Main prob is it looks like we only have 80Amp circuit to whole house. So we could be tripping breaker if we max out.

    @supercres Congrats! Awesome photo. 🙂


    @steven_noble Crap. Start the clock on how long I have til my podcast gets a C&D, I guess. I had no idea. 🙁


    No knitting tonight. Allergy shot this morning gave me a sore arm and made me cranky. 🙁


    I am the least bothered forum mod of all time. I think that’s probably a good thing. Learn to use the Ignore button, people!


    @zephyrama @sharre It’s okay. I just have neither the mental energy nor desire to bother policing every damn thing. Live & let live, really.


    @venks79 Ha! No, you were okay. Though you were on the receiving end of my bad mood with the Kampyle thing. 🙂


    @kampyle No specific problem! Just arguing whether it’s right for our project. @venks79 managed to sway me to his side (keeping it). 🙂


    @zephyrama HA! I actually only just saw your flag. (That one was flagged 7 minutes prior.) So I wasn’t quite sure how you’d sneak-poked. 🙂


    @kampyle On http://www.getupgo.com. We haven’t had the big public launch yet, so we’re not getting much use out of it right now. @getupgo


    I’m up. Still headachey and miserable. Coffee’s not putting a dent in it. (I shouldn’t have even opened Rav.)


    Have received dispensation to stay home. Excellent. There is much lounging to be done.

    296m/60s on rower at Spudds. Kick. Ass. I think I might need gloves though. http://twitpic.com/1p1p4x


    Wow! Indiana Republicans get their own sex scandal: http://bit.ly/c2E8LU. Smell ya later, Souder. Good riddance.


    Booking plane tickets to America! Yay!


    @Ezzles You up for some cat-sitting again? Three weeks. July 17 – August 7…


    @Ezzles No worries. I think I’ve got a couple other options by the sound of it! 🙂


    @imdominating @Justacogitating The Snook-Howard Magical Mystery Tour lands in Midwest USA on July 22. Woooot!


    @mrs_sockvictim Ewwwwww. That must be why Petey goes nuts in the mornings. He wants to hunt! TOO DAMN BAD, PUSS. 🙂


    @imdominating Oh, we’re there for 2 weeks. Just emailed you deets. Chicago probably the day before we leave…

    Sitting in a Twitter training session at work. Hi everybody!


    OH YOU GUYS. I was helping show newbies how to use Twitter, not being trained MYSELF. Because obviously, I am the Queen of Twitter. 😛


    The only thing making this weather bearable is the thought of my split pea & ham soup bubbling away in the slow cooker at home…


    @Opheli8 you’re not supposed to smoke. Sucking on things causes dry socket. *shudder*


    ARGH. Locked out of the house in a torrential downpour. This pea soup better be FANtastic or I quit the world.


    I might be hallucinating, but I think I can smell my soup through the locked front door. Hurry up, Snookums!


    He made it! In. Warm. Dry. And now for soup and #masterchef…


    Only thing worse than the leak in the bus roof above me is the girl 3ft away hacking up a lung. *sigh* Wednesday.


    @misswired Somehow forgot my keys. (I transfer my stuff from backpack to purse sometimes.) Luckily Snook was nearby.


    RT @DDsD: Telstra iPad plans to allow unused data to roll over: http://bit.ly/dcmCZE // Ah, that’s better. Considering.


    @squozen Ah. I missed that somehow.


    @squozen We’re booking a trip to the US to visit the fam in the winter. Wonder if it would be worth getting there…

    It’s up! My Sydney Half-Marathon Non-Race Non-Report: https://web-goddess.org/archive/9095.


    Well if you’re gonna ask the whole office for a list of popular books, don’t get mad when my list is too high-brow for the masses!


    Guild members: The last Exec minutes and Conveners letter are now up in the forums: http://bit.ly/bZeqiK


    @sharre I am, and I even got thanked by the Honorable Secretary for it! Right, @Kat13v? 😛


    Went to Spudds as punishment for the DNF. Quads were already sore; now they’re jelly.


    @bhmulder More like a ritual, penitent flogging. My conscience feels lighter now though.


    My journey into the dark corners of my wardrobe continues. Today’s experiment: a teal turtleneck sweater from Esprit 2007.


    @redambition I would say no. And I’d also dispute the premise of your question. 😛

    @that_alison If it helps, I didn’t manage to run the whole half-marathon. 🙂


    I’m fine, everybody! Thanks for the messages. My stupid foot hurts, and it took me a while to warm up and feel okay. But I’m all right.


    @Opheli8 No, no, more like feeling embarrassed I didn’t finish! All sympathy goes to those with holes in their jaw. 🙂


    My legs may have let me down, but my baking never does. Monkey Bread is rising. Recipe: http://bit.ly/cyW1SG Pic: http://twitpic.com/1o9iqb


    Even when monkey bread is bad, it’s still pretty good. (We had a wall breach.) http://twitpic.com/1ob3nw

    @zedsains ‘CAUSE I DIEEEEEE, WITHOUT YOUUUUUUUUUUU!


    WTF. I put some Deep Heat on my legs and the cat went NUTS. Rubbing herself all over where I’d been sitting. Camphor? Makes cats crazy?


    Huh, some cats do go berserk around menthol. http://bit.ly/bLb3Gx How odd we never noticed it before. She never reacted to catnip.


    @Epaulette Carbed, hydrated… about ready for bed, I think! 😛


    @shanea Huh. Does Quackies go nuts over Dencorub? Because I’ve never seen Amy like that before. Then she got the munchies. 🙂


    The Snook will be tweeting a link where you can watch my live race progress about 7:30am tomorrow morning!


    @Lauren_lolly_ I’m running the Sydney Half Marathon tomorrow 🙂 http://halfmarathon.smh.com.au/


    @cdeagle I got it. But then again, I spent three hours yesterday watching “Children of Dune.”


    Follow my #sydneyhalfmarathon live over at: http://rnkpr.com/a5qy8m


    Sorry everybody! Got very dizzy and faint just past halfway, and race marshall told me to stop. Don’t think I can go on. 🙁


    I’m ok. Sitting in the sun with Snook. Cramping a bit. Right foot is hurting. Stupid DNF.
