    Taught 2nd installment of sock workshop today. It was great! Students are doing so well. Makes me regret not pursuing teaching a little bit.


    Ron Weasley has swine flu? NOOOOOOOOO.


    In addition to the 9yo, we also had a sleeping newborn at the knitting class. Both were very well-behaved. I didn’t mind.


    @redambition I have 46. QA person worked on the weekend and closed a lot of bugs, all of which alerted me. *sigh*

    I love it when a plan comes together! On the bus to @mrs_sockvictim’s birthday bash. Much fun awaits…


    Dr. Amy has been sick a few times tonight. Which, yeah, cats puke. But she hasn’t in years. Should we be worried? Do anything special?


    Poor thing. Trying to get her to rest. http://twitpic.com/9913z


    Amy seems to be feeling better. She had a nap. She’s awake & grooming now. Snookums poked her belly and she was fine. Will keep watching.


    Just completed a 7.31 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/hv9Fg #runkeeper


  • Columns Deluxe

    Sega is apparently giving away Columns Deluxe for iPhone for FREE to celebrate Independence Day this weekend. Unfortunately I can’t tell whether that’s going to apply everywhere or just in the US App Store. It’s still showing $2.49 in the AU store right now.

    Update: It’s showing as free now!

    Wow. Busy Friday so far. One meeting down, three to go…


    @wookie_man Weirdness. I’ve only ever had to do a hard reboot once in six months. What apps are doing it??


    The Knitting Media Juggernaut is in effect. Now the SMH want a piece of our action! Inner City Group are truly the rockstars of the Guild.


    @witty_knitter SMH Spectrum going to promote our knitting workshops. 🙂


    Huh. When you haven’t had beer for 2 weeks, a couple schooners really hits hard. Wheeee!


    @redambition Uh oh. Sorry. It’s all porn, all the way down.


    Anticipating slipping between the bedcovers with a hot… water bottle. OH YEAH, IT’S FREEZING.


    I’m waiting to hear news of how the Snook’s big audition went tonight. He tried out for a new World of Warcraft raiding guild. *facepalm*


    @j_wren Wow, that’s some pretty aggressive keyword filtering! Maybe I need a boring work-safe URL to point at it… 🙂


    @Diepdin Please tell me we shall see you and Clare on an upcoming episode of Grand Designs! 🙂


    I need to get going and run some errands… but I have a warm cat on my lap and she feels so nice. https://web-goddess.org/img/deskcam.jpg


  • Bread-and-butter Pickles

    Oh yes. When I get my canning jars, I am makin’ some bread-and-butter pickles.

  • Skippy the bush kangaroo

    Skippy the bush kangaroo. Lovely photo from the Powerhouse archives.

  • Spaghetti Cake

    Another one for my sister’s “carbolicious” bakery: Spaghetti and Meatballs Cake. I’D EAT THAT.

    Ahhh, the true worth of iPhone 3GS. It allows me to edit & upload boring videos of my cats on the way to work! http://bit.ly/Y7Oaz


    @runkeeper Just posted a review of the new interval feature: http://bit.ly/chDIs
    . LOVE IT!


    Any knitters want to be on TV? Sunrise have contacted about shooting a knitting event EARLY Tues morning. Let me know if you want details.


    @Bex_the_Femme I know, I know! Why the media in Sydney are incapable of planning anything more than a week in advance is beyond me.


    5.30am-8.30am on Tuesday at Customs House. DM me your email if you want more info. Coffee and muffins provided! 🙂


    @Timmay83 Actually I think they want some “beginners” who are being taught, so if you want to be knitting dumbass, sure! 🙂


    @AusVintageGrrl I’m still using Tweetdeck. It crashes every now and then, but I like that it syncs columns to my desktop version.


    Was just telling Mom how FREEZING it is in Sydney today, when I looked up the temp conversion. 12C = 53F. She laughed at me. I’m a wuss now.


    @wookie_man Meanwhile I watched a 461 AND 480 pull away while I was sprinting to them FROM THE ACTUAL BUS STOP.
