    Heart rate monitor sites are impenetrable! Runners: any suggestions for basic HRM? No GPS necessary. @steverunner @IronBrandon @runjohnerun

    @johnvaughn Any running store… in Australia? 😛

    Just updated Tweetdeck, now with support for lists and new retweets. Exporting my groups as lists now!

    @Gin_ev_ra Are they in red T-shirts? Saw a few heading out this morning at Broadway. They looked vaguely sheepish and embarrassed.

    Come one, come all to the dog and pony show!

    @SMinney I never had any problems with desktop version, so yeah, stable. Hope iPhone update comes soon…

    My swatch for St. Brigid is dry. Folks, it begins TONIGHT!

    Hm. The Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran has grown somewhat. Getting 19st/10cm instead of 21.

    Knitting progress is halted in favour of a very early night. I feel like crap.

    Just completed a 5.04 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/73c9rX #RunKeeper

    Great. This (http://bit.ly/6td7XE) makes me second-guess running a marathon. I’d have aimed for 5:30, which is too slow for some snobs. 🙁

    Congrats to @EileenDCoE on her job offer in Melbourne! Looks like a few visits to Melbs are in order for 2010.

    @Warlach Savant. She said some stupid things about knitting 6mo ago and we invited her to come to a Guild meeting, but she never replied.

    @eileenDCoE Yay! Start following @crumpet and @gusseting to get the Melbourne news. 🙂

    @Warlach @ozgamer got a free salad from Collier’s in East Sydney. Not an official reward; he had to tell them what @foursquare was. 🙂

    I really want to know which Sydney office this passive-aggressive gem comes from: http://bit.ly/5eTtcH

    Changed my cardigan and shoes for the journey home. I feel like Mr. Rogers.

    Check out the 2.67 km walk I did with @runkeeper http://bit.ly/6DFcCc #RunKeeper

    New “keep cups” at @tobysestate! Had to get one since I’m their @foursquare mayor. http://twitpic.com/rmngo Yay for reusability!

    Trying out Amano Gelato, new gelato place on Glebe Pt Rd. Yummy. http://twitpic.com/resfz

    Thinking about doing my first marathon next year. I blame @steverunner and @runkeeper.

    @Warlach I’m logged in, but it hasn’t updated in 6hr and I can’t check in to Chippo because search results aren’t coming up. @foursquare

    @steverunner Can you point me towards Phedip ep or article re: appropriate base mileage for 1st time (slow) marathoner? I’m reading 25+…

    @steverunner Found it! Fdip126. Thought there had to have been one. Thanks for that! Downloading now… 🙂

    Finally fixed buggy iPhone app update notifications with a hard reset as per: http://bit.ly/4EV7mi

    @runjohnerun Will do! I recently switched to forefoot running & I’m doing about 12mi/wk now. Aiming for possible marathon in 10 months!

  • Weekend Update

    Weekend Update: We kept things pretty simple this weekend. Friday night was pizza from Crust in Surry Hills. Saturday morning the Snook joined me on the train to Pennant Hills, where I was scheduled to give my “Welcome to the Knitternet” presentation at the library. It was great! There were about twenty knitters there, most of them a fair bit older than me. (Only one of them was from the Guild; the rest were unaffiliated local charity knitters so I tried to be a good Guild representative. Well, as good as I can be.) I talked for over an hour about the various knitting blogs, podcasts, retail, and pattern sites on the ‘Net, and I gave them advice on searching and security. (One big revelation was that most of them didn’t realise that you can have more than one email address!) The library had printed out the handout I’d sent, and the audience took down a lot of notes too. They all seemed quite energised at the end and inspired to get right on Ravelry. Afterwards, Atholie (aka GrandmaFlea) took the Snook and I out for lunch. A fun little outing! Back at home, the rest of the day was about napping, knitting, and staying cool. On Sunday, I headed out for a long run (10.5km) in Centennial Park in the morning. I was pretty slow due to the heat, but I felt good. (Good enough to start thinking about doing a real marathon next year. Eeep!) In the afternoon, we ran errands, worked in the garden, and baked a spinach pie. Now, I think I’ll tuck in early for bed…

    Great session at Pennant Hills Library. 20some knitters inspired to get online! Then lunch courtesy of GrandmaFlea, lovely as ever.

    Neat – we had delivery from @crust_pizza last night! Sooooo good. Had no idea they were on Twitter.

    @alyshajane Just the plain ol’ Hawaiian. It was good!

    What’s with the fireworks??

    Over the city somewhere. Big crazy booms; finished like 10 minutes ago. Concert or sporting event?

    @DDsD Few years ago we went to a “Rebels” party as Leia and Han. Half the guests came as sluts then too.

    Surprisingly revelation from this morning’s preso: many older users don’t know that you can have more than one email address!

    Snook is at the #photon conference, which is hosted by Wil Anderson. Man, the dot-com boom really never ended for some folks, did it?

    @gilmae Are you a PHOTONER too? Suddenly you seem so much more bleeding-edge! 🙂 #photon

    @gilmae Ahhh, but are you going to the big Christmas party tonight? (The Snook isn’t. He’s not bleeding-edge enough.)

    @gilmae You are sounding dangerously un-web-2.0. You need to report to your local processing center for re-education.

    Sitting at Tsukasa by myself putting the final nail in my fish phobia. Mmmm, sushi. (Snook says I’m hardcore now.)

    @Warlach Happened to @ozgamer yesterday. Think it means you’ve been flagged as possible cheater. Wore off after 24hrs.

    Why the Twitter backchannel behind speakers at conferences really sucks: http://bit.ly/4OjgzE. Totally agree.

    Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer. So needed.

    Crust Pizza delivery on the way….

    Knitternet preso updated for talk at Pennant Hills library tomorrow. I am bringing the Good Word of the Internet to the knitting heathens!

    Train has stopped 100m outside station. This does not bode well.

    GrandmaFlea is giving my introduction. http://twitpic.com/r82yw

  • Fantastic Mr Fox

    Ebert gives Fantastic Mr Fox 3.5 stars. I think he needs to re-read some of his Dahl though. “Like the hero of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” also based on one of his books, the creatures of Dahl’s valley seem to know more than they’re letting on; perhaps even secrets we don’t much want to know.” WTF? Oh wait, is he talking about Wonka and not Charlie? That makes more sense. I mean, Charlie is pretty much a blank vessel as a character.
