  • A Brixton Proposal

    A Brixton Proposal. Because you need a little sweetness and romance in your day.

  • Darby and Joan

    I had never heard the term Darby and Joan before, but yeah. That’s pretty much me and the Snook in a nutshell. We were Darby and Joan from Day One of our relationship. (Link courtesy of Gael.)

  • BA Resources

    Just found an excellent video explaining use cases in a simple, straightforward way. I write a lot of use cases as part of my job as a BA, so if you ever wondered what I do, this will give you an idea. The same person has more than 90 other videos on object-oriented programming and UML diagrams. It looks like it covers a lot of the stuff I did in my training course last year. Good resource!

  • TGIF

    THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY. (Eva is brilliant.)

    Found the shoes I wanted at Kumfs! Actually attractive! Seemingly impossible task accomplished.

    Snook’s homebrew is potent. One pint and I’m down for the count.

    @shanea It was a double batch. We’ve got plenty. Have you moved to the neighbourhood yet?

    Just completed a 5.09 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/6yAJJA #RunKeeper

    Iā€™m entering @Crust_Pizza #Crustfreepizzafriday because I’m too lazy to cook. And pizza is good.

    My new shoes: http://twitpic.com/y3j4s (And yes, I cuffed my jeans today to show them off better. Shameless, really.)

    These are the shoes, if you’re so inclined: http://bit.ly/4EEf6I (@yourshoesdaily @liedra @zephyrama)

    @DianneKing Nah, there’s a shop here in Sydney. Not cheap: $220. But I’ve had Kumfs before and they’re good quality. Last for years.

    @lelak Ooh, I like the Vibrams. Been thinking about it. I’ve been running in Newtons for a few months now…

    Excellent video explaining use cases: http://bit.ly/4VVaS0. There are a whole bunch more BA/OO/UML videos here: http://bit.ly/6malEb.

    RT @ScottRhodie: I’m going to repost this link – Put a smile on your face this Friday http://bit.ly/8LgaWQ // So sweet. Loved it.

  • RunningBlog: Week 2

    Onwards and upwards. I’m meeting my goal of running four times a week, and this week I managed an itsy bit farther. We’ve had a run of hot weather, and it’s really hard to maintain pace and stay within my aerobic heart rate zone on hot and humid days. I also had my first circuit training session of the year at Spudds yesterday. (I was definitely feeling it on my run this morning.) Let’s look at the weekly totals:

    Jan 8: 5.3km
    Jan 10: 6.56km
    Jan 12: 5.4km
    Jan 14: 5.5km
    Total this week: 22.6km (14mi)
    Total in 2010: 44.9km (27.8mi)

    I’m working on a new running-related secret project… which I’ll hopefully unveil this weekend. Stay tuned!

  • Barbie’s New Career

    Barbie is getting a new career, and “Computer Engineer” is one of the options. Go vote for it! If for no other reason than I myself would love to have a Computer Engineer Barbie.

  • Newtown Hotel Renovation

    Proposed Newtown Hotel renovation. Nice. As the Snook pointed out, “1st floor verandas would be a great solution to the lack of street tables for King St cafes and pubs. The footpaths are too narrow and filled with pedestrians.”

    @eileenDCoE Still keepin’ tabs on you… I bet she orders you to do some recycling. šŸ™‚

    My pretty new wallet: http://twitpic.com/xv6vm Thanks to those who suggested Strandbags. It was on sale!

    Wedding ring + rowing machine = OUCH! http://twitpic.com/xvgee Lesson learned.

    @bellsknits Most of the sale ones were pretty cheap looking. The nice leather ones were all $50+. Luckily this one was marked down to $35!

    @witty_knitter St. Brigid waits for no injury. I shall persevere. (At least I’m using red wool. Will hide the blood.)

    @ozgamer Ha, yeah, I’m in. šŸ™‚

    Just completed a 5.50 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/5pJbzK #RunKeeper

    @Fiestywenchyone Phew! Great to hear it. Congratulations!

  • Happiness Challenge

    How are you guys doing in your 2010 Happiness Challenge? Week 1 was about getting more sleep, and I’m proud to report that the Snook and I have made positive changes in this area. We have been getting off the couch and heading to bed pretty consistently at 10pm every night. It’s not much, but it’s an improvement. Week 2 is about getting more exercise. I’ve been doing plenty of running, and today I went back to Spudds for the first time in ages. I tore up my hand on the rowing machine, but it was still a pretty good workout. I felt strong afterwards, not tired at all. (That may be due to the fact that the shower at our office has NO HOT WATER, which I didn’t realise til I was in there, naked and shivering. Good for the muscles, right?) Anyhoo, I’m feeling pretty energised so far. How about you?
