    Vuvuzelas for BP: http://bit.ly/93AjGK. That is brilliant. Can’t wait to see the video.

    Tonight’s experiment with the new oven: homemade pizza! http://twitpic.com/21gqp1


    @seanchadwick It will be… but there’s not much to share! 😀


    @bhmulder It was very good! No control group, as we didn’t think to cook a last one in the old oven before we pulled it out… 🙂


    3 out of 14 shirts missing from my @threadless order. 🙁 Just sent an email to Customer Service. Not happy.


    @bellsknits I would! But in Canberra, you’ve got more of a real winter than most Aussies. 🙂


    Let’s play Words With Friends on the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad! My username is ‘web-goddess’. http://bit.ly/2qbpQ


    @thepurple8 Well, half were for me and half for Snook. I feel bad that the missing @threadless shirts were all his!


    The Snook sends me tweets as SMS, complete with hashtags and everything. I told him to just get a friggin’ account already!


    ANOTHER glaring defect in iPhones? *sigh* This happens to me all the time. http://bit.ly/dpLdqG DAMN YOU TO HELL, STEVE JOBS!

  • RunningBlog: Week 26

    I told you it could only get better! This week I managed three runs, including two of them actually on workday mornings. They weren’t long and they weren’t fast, but I got out there! Snook even went along with me for two of them. The last two were FREEZING COLD; Sydney has had some of the coldest weather in decades. We actually saw frost on Tuesday! My foot is still bothering me, but the last two runs weren’t too bad. The ultrasound I had last weekend was inconclusive, so I still really don’t know what to do to make it better. My half-marathon prep has started though, and I’m going to keep plodding on as best I can!

    June 27: 5.91km
    June 29: 5.41km
    July 1: 5.43km
    Total this week: 16.75km (10.5mi)
    Total in 2010: 489.16km (305.7mi)

    I am exactly halfway through the year I set myself to run 1000km in 2010, and as you can see I’m only about 10km behind…

    Did anyone else get an SMS from the ATO this morning? Just reminding me that it’s tax time. Helpful, if a little creepy…


    My right wrist is hurting today, so @Opheli8 suggested I move the mouse to my left hand. So far it’s really weird and awkward.


    Left-hand mousing sucks. It’s not the movement; it’s the button-clicking. I keep clicking it accidentally. Photoshop is impossible.


    Site is down again. Come on, Quadrahosting. What is the problem?!


    @redambition The boob thing? Yeah, I just saw that myself.


    @wheelyweb I just can’t bring myself to change hosts AGAIN. I’m always disappointed.


    Site is back up. QH replied that “server is under attack”?! Yikes.


    @wheelyweb I just got problem resolved in 8 minutes, which is good. Appears to be some sort of DDOS attack. Not really their fault then…


    @codepo8 I saw that yesterday. They put a notification in my old feed. Did you want them to just redirect?


    @codepo8 I see your point. I don’t use it for code, just for RSS reader.

  • Happy birthday!

    Happy birthday to my Mom and to my stepbrother Colfax!

  • 8-bit Twilight Eclipse Interactive Game

    8-bit Twilight Eclipse Interactive Game. This is FANTASTIC. Twilight done as an old-school choose-your-own-adventure style Nintendo game… all on YouTube. Even if you hate Twilight – or rather, ESPECIALLY if you hate Twilight – you’re gonna love this.

    @drkknits Lightweight. I’m lucky to get it under 1000. (Metafilter contributes a lot of that though!)


    @L4Designs Hahaha, no way. @venks79 got me in at Mobileactive 18months ago, and we pulled in @kunaal84 3months ago. Way better!


    Apple’s website shows my repair as finished… but they haven’t actually called or emailed. Can I just turn up and get it, I wonder?


    @stufromoz I did. AppleCare dude confirmed it’s ready. Oddly, then got call from Service 2min later. Maybe AC called them out for slacking?


    MacBook with new hard drive and trackpad is home, and Snook is doing his magic!


    Migration from old dying hard drive is proceeding… slowly. (Snook scoffs at Apple Genius who said he’d never get anything off it.)


    MacBook is completely back to normal. Moral of the story: Always, ALWAYS get AppleCare for your laptop. Well worth it.


    @codepo8 Snook had 2nd interview today! Met with Sebastian. Seems to be going well… 🙂


    @squozen I don’t think you would’ve had as easy a time finding and installing a new trackpad. I didn’t say the repair was ONLY the HD… 🙂


    @squozen And yes, yes, MOM. I don’t have anything critical on here; it was mostly just to save time. Time Machine backups commencing.


    @squozen I’ll concede you are exception to AC rule. But 90%+ of people – inc me – don’t want or care to DIY computers. That’s what $ is for!


    @DDsD ThinkGeek, of course. http://bit.ly/4YRCXJ (Or if you can find the dots, you can commission me to knit you some.)


    @squozen So would Snook. But that sounds like work to me, time/attention/effort I’d rather not spend if I can avoid!


    Yes, I know my site isn’t working properly. DB is refusing connections. Waiting for QuadraHosting to restart Apache…


    Sites are back up. Thank you Quadrahosting!


    Yesterday’s 15min head start has turned into 15min behind today. Are trains down? Everyone’s cramming on slow-moving buses.


    @Opheli8 The very best day of the week!


    8-Bit Twilight Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Game: http://youtu.be/kd-21k_BSFQ AWESOME. Way better than the movie will be, even for haters.


  • HPatDH Official Trailer

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Official Trailer. Looks awesome. I just wish YouTube would let me go through it frame-by-frame so I can identify all the scenes.

    Edited to add: Screw YouTube. If you go to the official site, you can get to the Quicktime version which allows you to go through slowly.
