    @witty_knitter Optus want to charge users $10/month to use data they’re already paying for (via laptop tethering). This is a way around it.

    And just like that, I’ve reached my daily limit for arguing with racist, homophobic little boys. Sometimes I wonder why I bother!

    Normally my handknits get a few comments. But today’s giant Grandpa cardie w/ intarsia map-of-the-world? Not a peep. Maybe they’re scared.

    I love it when a plan comes together!

    @falkonfly Not Scary! Just daggy. šŸ™‚ http://bit.ly/2MFxt

    Optus processed unlock request in less than 2 business days! Lesson: get girl to call & work the charm. (Now to procure iPhone 3G Sā€¦)

    @AusVintageGrrl That’s the plan… Heh heh. (It all hinges upon him being able to find a pre-paid 3GS somewhere. Might be tricksy.)

    Harris Farm Broadway’s new deli has chicken breast for $6.99/kg! Also, they’ve hired some cute new guys as spruikers. Shopping WIN.

    @AusVintageGrrl Never underestimate what you can find in the dodgy shops of Capital Square, my friend.

    @Ezzles Um… Well, people do. And it pays for other people’s salaries. *ducks* I NEVER SAID I WAS PROUD!

    @Ezzles Ahhh, we don’t do that one. šŸ™‚

  • Alice and Kev

    Alice and Kev – homeless father and daughter someone created in Sims 3. It’s fascinating.

  • 20 Minute Simple Skirt Tutorial

    20 Minute Simple Skirt Tutorial. I really need to do some sewing.

  • iPhone Hidden Features

    iPhone 3.0 Update: 10 Hidden Features. I never knew about the force-quit thing.

  • Cupcake Kebabs

    For my sister: Cupcake Kebabs. (I noticed recently that another cupcake bakery has opened in the QVB. That makes, like, three in the CBD alone. When will the cupcake fad implode??)

    @sharre Knitting flat and sewing is easiest for newbies. Especially the type that are basically squares sewn together!

    Hm. Spotlight Search on iPhone doesn’t search text of emails, only to, from, and subject. In case, like me, you were wondering.

    I forgot to say – my sore throat didn’t eventuate into anything. I remain free of the Dreaded Lurgy. #temptingfate

    Sky is blue! Time for a run.

    Standing under a tree. Blue sky was a damn LIE! http://yfrog.com/10kbccj

    Just completed a 4.16 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/Ftig2 #runkeeper

    Optus iPhone customers – anybody managed to send MMS yet? I tried a while ago but recipient didn’t get it.

    @Bex_the_Femme Sent. Tell me if you get it.

    @Dextress YES! Haven’t been able to send or receive myself.

    @Bex_the_Femme OOH, PUPPY! I got it!

    @Bex_the_Femme Ahhh, so it just took a while! Good, it’s working then.

    Managed to send/receive MMS. The sending just seemed to take a little while to arrive.

    @justjussi Should work. Search twitter for “iphone vodafone mms.” Other folks have it working.

    Heading to the city for knitting at the Grace Hotel. Hope it’s not raining again.

    @RTRR Yep, evil Optus. I’m on cheap plan they don’t advertise anymore. Called today to get it unlocked. šŸ˜›

    RT @ReDrUmNZ: Free Tethering for Optus AU via iPhone! Hack: http://bit.ly/gpf9y Instructions: http://bit.ly/3G66wI <- Um, worked for me!

    @twelveeyes We always take an empty suitcase for Old Navy. Love it! Just watch their wacky (big) sizing. Try everything on.

    There are like 40+ homemade peanut butter cookies packed up to go to work today. My team kicked ass this week; they earned it.

    @RTRR The real test is whether I can resist. I allowed myself to lick the beaters, but cookies don’t fit with new health kick! šŸ™‚

  • iPhone 3.0

    I installed the iPhone 3.0 update this morning and have been playing with it today. I was able to send and receive MMS, but it’s *very* slow. Maybe because all the other Optus iPhone users are trying it out. Or it’s just that Optus sucks.

    @redambition He printed me out a graph of the previous three years to shame me. I love my doctor, but that suuuucked.

    TweetDeck supposedly available for iPhone now, but it sure as heck ain’t coming up in the Australian App Store. šŸ™

    Ahh, TweetDeck just appeared in Aussie App Store. Downloading…

    @RTRR Nah, but it claims to support it. I only have one account so I haven’t tried it.

    An otherwise lovely Greek salad ruined by the balsamic that is now dribbled down my shirt. *sigh*

    @RTRR Much better! Got new shoes. I’ve cut back my running; only once so far this week (w/ 2 gym sessions). Will do proper run tomorrow.

    @BostonSydney Hey, you’re here now! How ate you settling in?

    I feel suspiciously crap. Throat has been sore all day. Please, Mr Lurgy, I thought you were gonna skip me!

    Woo! New iPhone OS 3.0 being downloaded right now…

    @sharre Ha. Well, I feel partially responsible for sucking some of you in to this iPhone world, so I have to keep you up-to-date!

    New OS uploaded with no dramas for me. It adds a couple new apps, like Voice Memo and search. Haven’t used much yet though!

    @andrewsayer Nah, mine went through without a hitch at 7.30 this morning.

  • Unnecessary Appliances

    Like Gael, I was amused by this list of “unnecessary appliances”. Alton Brown famously rejects such uni-taskers as well. I’ve gotta take exception to the inclusion of the ice cream maker and the pasta machine though. They’re uni-taskers, yes, but they’re also the best way to do those particular tasks.
