Went to Eveleigh Artisans Market. Wasn’t terribly impressed; a lot was just posh frippery. Couple knitting stalls, but no wool.
Just completed a 9.79 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/2FAmBF #runkeeper
“Yes, I am well aware this is clean laundry. Why do you ask?” http://yfrog.com/58dx1hj
The sudden appearance of Yellow Face is freaking me out a little bit. Going to go for a run and soak it up while it lasts…
Just completed a 8.91 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/lx5i8 #runkeeper
Ha! Slight #runkeeper GPS fail there. Actually only 6.55km run. Starting point was off. Still, I felt pretty good out there!
Thanks @runkeeper, I did! The editing ability is so great. Just didn’t want folks to think I was so fast. 🙂
They told me it was thick, but I was still surprised. Bring on #infsum! http://yfrog.com/751atj
At SSK in Newtown. Usual crowd is here. Lovely day for knitting and Chai latte…
@redambition No worries, done! About 10 people there in the end. You were missed! And mrs_sockvictim too.
@sharre Poutine?? I’ve wanted to try that forever. Even emailed dairies trying to find cheese curd! Where do you get it from?
Dinner: Welsh rarebit with fresh sourdough and beautiful leeks from the veggie box. Dessert: vanilla creamed rice with rhubarb & apple.
Neighbours have been partying for 24 hours straight. Torn between hating them for the noise and totally envying their awesomeness. #fb
“Edward is fast, can read minds, and is into underage girls. There’s really no contest.” http://bit.ly/Gduil
Just sent company-wide email asking if anybody wants to run City2Surf as a team. Co-workers seem quietly horrified.
@redambition Running the whole thing is highly overrated!
Thinking that the best way to start a long weekend is to go to bed extremely early and sleep off the entire week. Ohhhh, yeah.
@coach_chris I got maybe four positives (inc. @venks79) out of like 40 people. Disappointing! And they’re all seemingly fit 20-somethings.
Am now obsessed with idea of artisan home canning. My hipster tendencies are showing themselves… http://bit.ly/ie9HG
And web-goddess.org IS BACK! We had to use the Snook’s card to get past the stupid Verified by Visa errors.
Just completed a 4.08 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/9EFks #runkeeper
It’s definitely running season. I bet I saw over 100 runners in the Domain just now.
@knitness Wow, they’re really strict about it, huh? Sorry to hear it!
@shanea Does she scratch the corner? We put double-sided tape strips on the corners/arms of ours. They really don’t like that.
@shanea We found some fairly wide double-sided somewhere. Check this out: http://bit.ly/OhTcU. Something like that.
Torn between nostalgia for “our song” and embarrassment over the fact that it’s by Wheatus. *cringe*
@brodrigu I SAID I WAS CRINGING, DIDN’T I? (Shut up. It’s an awesome song.)
Finally heading out to knitting… I can’t wait for the 3 day weekend!
@knitness I’m heading out but there are still 5 people here…
It has been decreed that M&S SnB – once the Sale is over – will officially leave the shop @ 6.30 and retire to Grace Bar every Thurs. 🙂
@jokercom Thanks. It was the Verified by Visa. I had my bank de-enroll it and then it worked.
@knitness Oh cool! I’ve been meaning to check out that market for a while now…
Um, attention @twelveeyes, @imdominating, and @Justacogitating: Twilight Fan Cruise. http://www.twilightfanscruise.com/ That is all.
@rhagern Ooh, I was reading about that online. It looks good! Let me know if you like it.
@shanea Wait, what? Is this RT? (Judging by Wikipedia) I haven’t seen it…
Came back from lunch to discover a fat box of my brand new business cards on my desk! Now I need to knit myself a holder or something.
If a requirement is pretty much IMPOSSIBLE, why wouldn’t you tell me that right away? Why just ignore it? Gah.
RT The Snook: When your site only has three sentences on it, you really should check them for spelling and grammar. http://foll.me/
@misswired The plan is to mention him constantly until he gives up and joins in. It worked on my blog. 🙂
Ah, so this is what we were stuck in this morning: http://bit.ly/ltXO4
Okay, I’ve suitably atoned for my late start and long lunch. Going home to relax and knit (and boycott the footy)!
@witty_knitter I noticed. Quadrahosting status page says all is fine, but clearly not. 🙁
My site is still down. Very annoying. Quadrahosting, we were having such a good run! Why you gotta hurt me like this?
@SupFarn UGH. I can’t even SSH to the server. Yet the stupid Quadrahosting server status page still says all good. WTF?
OH CRAP! IT’S MY FAULT! I MISSED THE DOMAIN RENEWAL LETTER! Lucky I caught it in time. Should be back soon.
Not quite. Now I can’t get joker.com to take my renewal payment because their stupid “Verified by Visa” third-party is down. ARGH.
@jokercom Having trouble getting renewal payment to go through. Sent support request but nothing yet. Is something wrong with VbV handler?
@runkeeper Me too! I know good stuff is in store. Can’t wait for the next release…
My good deed for the day: teaching fellow knitters how to use htaccess and mod_rewrite to serve rude images to hotlinkers.
Why you should always sit in the FRONT of a rollercoaster: http://bit.ly/FmlS1 . (Warning: Vomity grossness!)
Using a system that imports tags from last.fm. Added David Duchovny & did double-take: http://bit.ly/Gic7A . HA! Folksonomy FAIL.
Stabbing back pains = great way to start Wednesday. Good thing I’m going to the physio AGAIN.
Going to be late. Stuck in P’matta Rd traffic. So just to clarify, I’ve had back spasms & gridlock… & I’m having lunch w/ mother-in-law.
@Ezzles Ohhhhh, I think that would be very, very good. Like turkey sandwiches with cranberry. Fruit goes very well with ham and cheese. 🙂
Official New Moon trailer is up: http://bit.ly/H3Wmi . And man, that is the fakest-lookin’ damn werewolf I have ever seen.
@brodrigu *hand up* Data point. I’ll back that up.
Leftover coq au vin for lunch. I think I am finally starting to come around on mushrooms! They’ve gone from yuck to bleh to almost tasty…
Aww, who’s a cute widdly fluffy were-puppy? EXACTLY. http://bit.ly/NlHgO
Even xkcd is getting in on the Twilight action: http://xkcd.com/591/ Ha!
Ack. Post-boxing sneeze attack on the bus. No tissues. I’M A MONSTER!
Just completed a 5.41 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/O0nc1 #runkeeper
iPhone: for when you need to know NOW what weapon Leonardo the Ninja Turtle used. (Snook won that bet.)
@Timmay83 I think you’ll find it was a KATANA BLADE, but yeah. Basically a sword.
Woo! Congrats to @kellymcmahon for winning the Cubs contest. She gets to throw out 1st pitch at Sep. 2 game!
Weird. Doing a vanity search on Bing brings up my Twitter profile as the 1st result?! http://bit.ly/steDW
Some ideas for the #Runkeeper team: http://bit.ly/1qt4R2
Willy Wagtail is flitting around the garden, flagrantly showing off in front of Petey, who cracked his head on the glass trying to get him.

Just completed a 4.84 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/IqWPc #runkeeper
That was actually one single loooong run. I lost GPS halfway through and had to restart. My back ached the whole way. 🙁
Coq au vin is simmering on the stove. Time for a glass of wine. Feeling very FRONCH tonight!
“Wow! So this weekend we finally got contents insurance and I told you what I want you to do with my corpse. I feel so grown-up.”
@Justacogitating I took it to mean she was leaving to ESCAPE guys she didn’t want to be with. Which sucks, but better than your version!
Trying to decide if new person at work used “Chester draws” ironically in her email about furniture for sale. I fear not.
Went to Eveleigh Farmers’ Market. Not sure which was more annoying: crowds of inner west hipsters or paying $7 for a tub of cream cheese.
Actually, it turned out to be damn good cream cheese, so the seven bucks seems justified.
Guidelines for writing better use cases: http://bit.ly/dsq0X. Food for thought.
It’s odd how getting email from the company that sacked you 6 months before still brings on immediate feelings of annoyance and bitterness.
@kdelarue Very interesting. I got an email the other day from somebody reading it who managed to find my site. I’ll have to look for it…
@kdelarue Treglown (prev biographer) thought that Dahl exaggerated a lot of his “spy” activities. Wonder if Conant has actual evidence…
This is disgusting. An Indian friend told me of a narrow escape from violent racist bogans in Bondi few weeks ago: http://bit.ly/A9Cml
On my way to a special birthday dinner for @gadgetgirl70… 🙂
Hooray! It’s Amy blowing out her candles… http://yfrog.com/0kbw1qj
So stuffed with Indian food. Nilgiris in St Leonards = highly recommended, especially if you get a private cushion room!
Hooray! I’ve got a new little nephew: Mason Anthony Howard. Congrats to Ant and Kara!
@Justacogitating I haven’t gotten much other than a pic. (Just emailed to you guys.) But presumably everything is okay!
@bellsg Good grief. I thought the M&S server crashing last weekend was bad. At least we didn’t get friggin’ death threats over it.
