@imdominating Also, aren’t Chick-fil-A homophobic jerks? Now I’m double boycotting them!

@emmainsydney Brilliant, thanks! Have forwarded @technocrat_au’s website to my friend. Will be on the lookout for more for you… 🙂

---

I find it amusing that SEO “experts” (i.e. spammers) think I’d give them business when they don’t have an online presence themselves.

---

@knitdra I’ll buy yours from you! 🙂

---

@joshmillard Shh. There’s a secret club of devotees to old Tweetdeck. You can still find it online…

---

@knitdra Awww, thanks! If it’s free, I might be able to talk Rodd into going with me. 🙂

---

@RoseRed_Shoes Yeah. I’ve got one freebie (for me); I’d like one more (for him)

Getting my twee on for Valentine’s Day! http://t.co/AfqsGjXa

---

It occurs to me that with my purple shoes and skirt covered in owls, my “twee” is another person’s “manic hipster clown.”

---

@rachievaichie Yeah. My stepmom made my sister and I them for Christmas. Basically like a necklace!

---

The breakfast sausages were 3 days expired. I ate them; @the_snook didn’t. At the end of the day, we shall see who is right and who is dead.

---

@justalex75 Take some time off and see if it fixes itself. I didn’t – and still dealing with it a year later! Knees are tricky things.

---

@lemon_lime At least a lot of the comments are good. Looks like there’s a movement to fire that bigoted asshole teacher.

---

Amazing talk at #ggdsyd tonight about Aaron Swartz. Lots of stuff I didn’t know about him…

---

This is by far the most subversive #ggdsyd talk I’ve heard. She’s reading a transcript of an Anonymous video! It’s cool. I like it.

---

Look! @redambition is talking at #ggdsyd! (KNITTERS GUILD REPRESENT.) http://t.co/xV9VkYzQ

---

@nazzer I had debate with @the_snook after about your topic. Shouldn’t the net be decentralised enough to withstand such gov meddling?

---

@nazzer Sure, I can see where Syria can cut off ties to world. But could US or AUS do it? I think there’d be major outcry, wouldn’t there?

---

Success! Donation made. Now for a cookie. (@ Red Cross Donor Centre) http://t.co/kyUKwYGS

Does anybody remember the name of the company at @GGDSydney last night that was looking for Drupal devs? I might know one. 🙂 #ggdsyd

---

@Helen__H Wait, you were there? Dammit! I was sitting like three seats to the left of @redambition!

---

@wheelyweb When I switched, Telstra gave me a better package for less than Optus. Being willing to switch gives you leverage! Worth a try.

---

@wheelyweb That’s weird. I went into Telstra shop at Broadway 18 mth ago and said I wanted to switch, and he did me a deal. New policy?

---

@catehstn I’ll be interested to hear what you think! I got a Fitbit One for Xmas. I like it but I worry I’ll lose it since it’s so tiny!

---

Dear @the_snook: Will you be my Valentine… at @DoTheDip? 😛 http://t.co/hSYBAeLY

RT @the_snook: @web_goddess @DoTheDip What are you waiting for sweet cheeks? BOOK IT ALREADY! // This is why you are my Valentine.

---

@Illdrinn Unfortunately I come from the Midwest, so I live with this reality. What I paid in Sydney would buy a MANSION in Indiana. 🙁

---

@tali3sin I’m not here against my will. 🙂

---

@tali3sin There are other downsides to living there. Having to drive everywhere, shit weather half the year, crap coffee, etc…

---

@tali3sin My partner & I talk about moving there someday. When I’m older and I care less about going out, etc.

---

@tali3sin In a parallel dream world, I am rich enough to alternate summers in Sydney and Chicago.

---

@Illdrinn We actually checked prices when we were home at Christmas. My brother bought a foreclosed farmhouse for a song.

---

@laimelde congratulations!!

---

Dear Tegan & Sara: I would get more work done if I didn’t have to stop every 3 minutes and favourite another of your songs on Spotify.

---

@Kat13v Good on you. I’m trying again on Wednesday. Got permission from the doc this time. 🙂

---

@tali3sin Chicago in the summer is a wonderful thing. Lake, sun, concerts, park, festivals, baseball, everything.

Saying farewell to @trpurcell in the office! http://t.co/VV7uHPSW

Pozole! Slow cooker Mexican pork soup with hominy. YUM. http://t.co/NNjclLZp

@that_alison Google it. It’s corn that’s been treated in a special way.

---

Apparently Margaret & David are programming Rage this weekend. That is awesome. However I am old and sleepy, so I will set the DVR.

---

@steven_noble Very cool! Jude sounds like a great kid. 🙂

---

Dear Leopard Print Trench Coat in the Louis Vuitton window: I love you, but I would wear you with pants.

---

@codepo8 I like the use of pink and blue. BECAUSE I’M A GIRL, AND I LIKE BARBIES.

---

@codepo8 Sadly, Computer Engineer Barbie is gazing at me with betrayal. I’m sorry, Barbie. Your pink specs are awesome.

---

@randomknits I think they should just be more honest and call it DIABETES FLAVOUR.

---

I’ve seen tweets about storms in the Mountains & down the coast… but still no rain in Chippendale. There’s a deliciously cool breeze though.

---

@knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @Helen__H It’s raining now! We had two brief storm bands come through.

---

The cool change has made baking less torturous. Snickerdoodles in process…

---

Cooktop repair guy is here, putting new motherboard in Blanco. Fingers crossed…

---

Guess what? “Cheap” part didn’t fix it. Next part to try costs triple. I am really, really lucky that Blanco is covering as warranty job.

---

@stufromoz Fancy induction. Works great… when it works. Starting to think Blanco quality is less than promised.

---

@eileenDCoE This was a weird new recipe. They didn’t spread much; remained very round and tall like little domes. Tasty though.

---

Cautiously optimistic about my knee. Three days of foam rollering and exercises have resulted in the loud click nearly disappearing!

---

@jojoconstance I should have made banana cake too. Don’t think these were my best cookies. That’s what I get for trying a new recipe…

---

@Helen__H Obviously you have been kidnapped and your Evil Roam Roller is actually controlling your Twitter account. Nobody loves a roller!

---

@makarakarn Nope. Fail. They have no idea; they’re just swapping parts at random. Next one is 3x the cost. BUGGER.

---

@makarakarn I complained last week, so they’re fixing it as warranty, thank goodness. But we can still only use 1 burner out of 3 til fixed!
