    @Helen__H Drool. Is that from Charlie and Co?

    @tashj I know this! A franking machine is what businesses use to print their own postage on envelopes (rather than use stamps).

    RT @crumpet: One of the best things I’ve seen all day. http://t.co/wy8QcK8C Thanks, @WhoGivesACrapTP

    @Helen__H Yeah, I thought so. Charlie & Co is one if those stands – they do truffle fries!

    Going to see sports physician for official new knee diagnosis. Something has to change.

    @misswired The X is marking the lazyass muscle that’s not doing its job in keeping patella centred. Taping/brace/phyio to the rescue!

    @drkknits I have to order a special brace. Also seeing physio this arvo, so working from home today.

    @drkknits We discussed some in general, but advised to discuss in depth with physio. The tape feels WEIRD.

    @mudsurfer Actually my doc works with the Sydney Roosters and a couple other sports teams: http://t.co/lInBUM2n

    What is the point of having family gossip if @imdominating doesn’t sign in to Google Chat?

    @travellersyarn You mean, like the newsletter? @knitabulous is the new newsletter editor, so I think she’s the best for that!

    @knitabulous I think @travellersyarn is saying she doesn’t think she’s on the email newsletter list?

    @travellersyarn @knitabulous Totally separate. Those emails went out to users who registered on the website – not the newsletter list.

    @witty_knitter @knitabulous At least one IC member had a virus and was sending it out. I emailed to let her know and she replied today.

    Does anybody else feel like quitting the Internet entirely and learning to make chairs or something? Just me?

    I want to be one of those Vickys from “The Diamond Age.” Make handmade paper and rocking chairs for rich people weary of technology.

    @drkknits Dipping candles would be relaxing, I think. Or making shoes.

    @drkknits And then open a shop in Portland. Or Surry Hills.

    @Opheli8 Congratulations! Can you say where? Does it involve ringtones? 🙂

    @drkknits You’re not with Telstra, are you?

    @gemma747 Congratulations!

    My ability to climb stairs is getting worse. This knee! I need Mr Miyagi to do that thing where he rubs his hands and resets it.

    @randomknits That’s so cool!!

    @drkknits @randomknits Can I just say, I was HORRIFIED to see him called that in an SMH headline. To a Yank, it’s just so WRONG.

    The @KnitGuildNSW site is back online. Logins will be disabled for the time being. @Kat13v and @SallyPompom – will email soon.

    After the last 24 hours, it’s nice to have a hacker working for me for a change. http://t.co/SFh4gh1Q

    @witty_knitter @SallyPompom @kat13v Admin functionality restored. My husband is the friggin’ best, I swear.

    RT @DannyDutch: This Photo Will Change Your Life Forever http://t.co/VqvcqdJt // @kunaal84 – you should do this at work tomorrow.

    DAMMIT. Rejected at the Red Cross AGAIN! Because of my stupid knee. If there’s any chance I’ll need surgery, they won’t take my blood. GAHH.

    @TwiDJG I have a running injury, had an MRI few weeks ago, seeing specialist tomorrow. Surgery extremely unlikely, but Red Cross adamant.

    @TwiDJG If you’re under investigation and there’s any chance of surgery, they won’t let you donate. Because you’ll need your own blood.

    @TwiDJG Yeah. They actually gave me a permission slip for my sports doctor to sign before they’ll let me donate.

    @redambition I think the idea is if there’s any chance I’ll have surgery in the near future, they don’t want me down a pint a blood.

    @liedra Unfortunately I can’t watch at work, so no idea. Did he get tackled? If they catch, they can run unless tackled or outofbounds.

    @liedra If his knee touches the ground, he’s considered down.

    @liedra Doesn’t have to be touched by an opposing player. If you’re all alone and you catch and fall over, you’re down!

    @Rellarc79 Yes, but man. So expensive.

    @drkknits @lemon_lime Given that I am at work in an office, NO. 🙂

    @drkknits @lemon_lime I think you are overestimating the degree to which most of us give a shit about the NFL.

    @drkknits @lemon_lime You have this weird association of sexytimes and Baltimore that nobody else in the US has. 🙂

    @drkknits Not me. ?

    @drkknits Oh, it’ll just be spam. You’re on there as exhibitions person. You’ll get spam.

    @drkknits Just delete it, I reckon.

    @drkknits @witty_knitter Except that login link is misspelled. Hmm.

    @drkknits @witty_knitter It was uploaded today. Hack likely. Taking site offline.

    @drkknits @witty_knitter They’re not targetting us. They’re targetting our website CMS.

    @witty_knitter The fake login form asked people to enter a credit card.

    Bright side: at least the Guild site gets so little traffic from logged in users that the actual impact appears to have been minimal.

    RT @KnitGuildNSW: PLEASE NOTE that the Guild will NEVER ask for your Credit card details. All payments online are via a secure Paypal site.

    That’s the second time @instagram has replaced my @ with a totally random twitter person.

    @pixel8ted Nope! Just walked past it tonight.

    @pixel8ted Oh right! I saw the sign. Didn’t get to the Bean when we were home – too damn cold. 🙂

    @witty_knitter I didn’t either. Discovered later with @Kat13v’s help that they sent so many it clogged mailqueue. Helped contain it, really!

    Ah, someone complaining about Guild’s “communication strategy” following hack. My mental response is way too crude to tweet.

    @drkknits My first thought was “Suck a d*ck,” which just shows you how charming my brain is before coffee.

    The w-g Oscar Contest 2013

    My ELEVENTH annual Oscar Contest is now open! If you pick the most correct answers, you’ll win a set of FOUR super-powered Avenger Monkeys! You get Captain America (with shield), Iron Monkey, Thor (with Mjölnir), and the Incredible Hulk Monkey. No, I didn’t do any of the lame human characters. If you want a monkey with an eyepatch or a bow and arrow, you can make your own. 🙂

    And remember, in the event of a tie, the person that entered earlier wins. So don’t wait too long!

    Here’s a body shot of Captain America Monkey. As you can see, he comes with a really sweet shield (painted by Mr. Snook himself!).

    Captain America Monkey

    A close-up of Cap’n’s face.

    Captain America Monkey

    Here’s Iron Monkey. (If you’re handy with electronics, you could make his Arc Reactor light up!)

    Iron Monkey

    And here’s his face. Sorry, Robert Downey Jr. not included.

    Iron Monkey

    Here’s Norse god Thor himself. He’s got a long red cape, flowing blonde locks, and a mystical hammer. (But don’t squish it too hard because it was sculpted out of clay, again by Mr. Snook.)

    Thor Monkey

    And here’s Thor’s close-up.

    Thor Monkey

    And lastly – HULK MONKEY SMASH!

    Hulk Monkey

    You can’t tell from the photos, but he really is bigger than the other 3. (Unfortunately socks don’t really allow for a lot of muscle definition, so I had to embroider his pecs on.)
