  • Fitbit

    I’m jumping back on the “Quantified Self” bandwagon. I just ordered myself a Fitbit One for Christmas. Hopefully this will be the inspiration to put this year of injury behind me and get back into the swing of things!

  • Trotify

    Trotify – a mechanical wooden device that clips to your bike’s front wheel and makes it clop like a horse. It involves a coconut.

    You know, the other day on MetaFilter somebody defined a hipster as “someone younger than you having more fun and often wearing a silly hat at the same time”. That’s what this makes me think of.

    Happy Thanksgiving! I made pumpkin bread. Sadly, it's a bit uncooked in the middle but I think my coworkers will eat it up anyway. :)

    @drkknits Is that tie-dye I see before me?

    @drkknits I’ve been taping mine to the sliding door and doing them that way!

    @imdominating If it wasn’t just Rodd and me, I’d so be tempted to make one.

    RT @GGDSydney: Grats goes to @rowdyrabbit and @web_goddess our comp winners! We hope you have a great time at #yow2012 courtesy of @yow_oz!

    @drkknits You are making me so jealous. Why am I stuck at work when I could be sewing? GAHHH.

    @knitterjp @smithcdau Brilliant. Would love to meet him if we cross paths. I’m looking forward to the morning’s agile topics!

    @knitterjp @drkknits Hitting it with the iron was the funnest part of the Washi Dress. Magically started pulling WAY in!

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Also for loaning to other people! *cough cough*

    Every other bus driver takes 45 min to get through CBD. This guy is flying through in under 20. I think I love you, Mr Bus Driver.

    @goshling I hope so. He was challenging the very laws of the universe.

    @goshling Meetup? Quite possibly. Where/when?

    @goshling Oh right. That’s what I get for only reading MeFi through Flipboard these days…

    @goshling Commented, and suggested a venue! Slightly self serving in that it’s 3 blocks from my house, but it’s also legitimately nice. 🙂

    RT @codepo8: Slayer Christmas Sweater http://t.co/nSURU3Xp // I am totes knitting that for the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

    @mpesce @stufromoz @kcarruthers @jcmurty Pumpkin is being prepped at my house too. Chippendale feels very festive. 🙂

    @goshling Ah, yeah, Manly’s a pain. What are you guys doing, work? I work in the Rocks so if you’re nearby could meet for lunch.

    @toastman I just hate the train. Ideally I’d ride my bike, but my knee’s still screwed.

    @randomknits Go for it. Super cute!

    RT @embeedub: Fiona Apple’s moving farewell to her dog http://t.co/E1MERHul via @Salon // Don’t cry, @drkknits!

    RT @seananmcguire: Jason Dohring named his daughter “Lilly.” THE WORLD IS AWESOME. http://t.co/ps4ZJncB” // Logan Echolos forever!

    @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits Mine don’t bring in dead animals. 😛

    @drkknits Hoochie. (That’s my new “You’re terrible, Muriel” JUST FOR YOU.)

    @drkknits Oh, I’m not claiming moral high ground here. Just being silly. 🙂

    @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits I am taking a new attitude towards leggings: I don’t understand it, and I won’t acknowledge it. #lucille

    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim *wink*

    Not Acknowledging all over the damn place. What I am acknowledging is the excellent pumpkin bread I baked for the office. Nomnomnom…

  • Audit My Joomla

    Audit My Joomla – Looks like a very useful service for anybody running a Joomla site, which tend to attract hack attempts. I should probably run this on, uh, a particular site I maintain.

  • Geeks and Privilege

    Geeks and Privilege – Well said. The Snook and I have always admitted how lucky we were to have the breaks we had and to end up in the jobs we’re in.

    @zephyrama I happen to know a really, really bad curse phrase in Korean, courtesy of Grandpa. You know, if you need it.

    I identify with this MeFi discussion way, way too much. (cc @drkknits) http://t.co/sfgiqytD

    @TheDuckInnPub Anybody there to take a booking for dinner tonight? Tried ringing 15 min ago but no one answered!

    @Helen__H Very cute! You crochet? @RoseRedShoes just made me one of these a few weeks ago: http://t.co/SleWE7rI

    @Helen__H @rosered_shoes Whoops. Yep. My old crappy version of Tweetdeck has lost the ability to autocomplete usernames. 🙂

    @Helen__H You should come to a Knitters Guild meeting sometime! The Inner City group is cool and not at all weird. 🙂

    @Helen__H 2nd Sat of every month, so Dec 8 at Customs House Library at 11am. It’s like a stitch and bitch! Sometimes we have talks/workshops

    @Helen__H And we do have several crocheters in our group. 🙂

    @TheDuckInnPub Phew, was hoping you weren’t closed! 8pm for two okay?

    @TheDuckInnPub Brilliant, thanks! Couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. 🙂

    Giving web designers headaches since 1999, right here….

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I’m pretty sure hamsters eat their own babies sometimes. I’m sure the hamster patriarchy is to blame.

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Hegemonic Patriarchal Hamster Discourse is definitely going to be the name of my rock band’s first album.

    @rkrandall Congratulations!!

    @toastman I liked how it started out with the analogy of children fighting over a toy. I’m a girl so those references are really helpful.

    I keep Skyping and iMessaging and tweeting @kunaal84 even though he’s on his honeymoon. DAMMIT KUNAAL, WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO RANT TO?

    RT @bortflancrest: YOu will all love this. http://t.co/vLGaw0Je // I laughed. So will @imdominating and @carbolicious, I suspect.

    Anniversary dinner! Love this place. Also, we ate a dinosaur. (@ The Duck Inn Pub & Kitchen) [pic]: http://t.co/3JXWws15

    Thanks to @TheDuckInnPub for a lovely anniversary dinner tonight! A lot of memorable Chippendale moments have occurred there…

    RT @catehstn: Love this from @caterina, on how to create time – http://t.co/7W9hj36l

    @drkknits I think for jersey, it’s a must!

    I appear to be getting @pozible spam I didn’t sign up for. Disappointing. Let’s see if unsubscribe works.

    @randomknits Thanks! I’m glad I’m doing the muslin. I’m figuring out the little tweaks I can do to make things better on the real thing!

    @Pozible I unsubbed from newsletter. I was more surprised that I got email as I usually tick the “do not contact me” option. Hope it works.

    @drkknits @randomknits I love how you and I always overthink these things, and Donna’s always just like, WHATEVER. I JUST SEW.

    RT @Lackadazy: @imdominating RT @EvilWylie: Happy Thanksgiving, from my family to yours… http://t.co/kUC4F31j
