  • Lolita cover redesigned | MetaFilter

    Lolita cover redesigned | MetaFilter – I know it’s not meant to be sexy, but I knew a guy at Notre Dame who had memorised the first paragraph of Lolita… and it was breathtaking. He later joined the priesthood. I’m not kidding.

    Gorgeous day. Red lippie. Bazinga.

  • TweetAngel Will Call Your Small Business About Negative Tweets

    TweetAngel Will Call Your Small Business About Negative Tweets – I can see where you might think this was an awkward stupid idea… but I know people who are afraid of the Internet. People who talk about Twitter the way you imagine some 1950’s authority figure to talk about rock and roll. I’ve no doubt they’d pay to get a phone call when somebody was trashing them online. I only hope that TweetAngel accepts cheques.

    RT @kunaal84: Birthday present just arrived…. Completely unexpected! Thanks @web_goddess and @rajsingh2505 ! http://t.co/QkL15fGP

    Google Docs hasn’t crashed on me in almost two days! It’s like an early birthday present! #probablyjustjinxedit

    RT @bonappetit: We’re sipping coffee Aussie style, i.e. flat whites and plenty of em http://t.co/GVAxPeYj // Toby’s in NYC, neat!!

    It appears to be time for the annual watching of Pride & Prejudice. “Country manners? I think they’re charming!” Let’s do this.

    @DeirdreJG That’s the Best One. I got introduced to it in ’95 in college, I think. I love it. Right now Wickham is scamming Lizzie…

    RT @HealthyLiving: Overfed, yet undernourished? @markhymanmd on how malnourishment causes obesity http://t.co/fgZklneu

    RT @Offbeatceremony: RT @mountaindoula: @LettersOfNote @sebasu102 @Offbeatceremony how gorgeous are these! http://t.co/O1vjgDzs Oh they are!

    My company and boss Paul are in the news AGAIN. The media are loving @Sitback lately! http://t.co/CKnB0oGJ

    @Opheli8 Is the #newjob still within Optarse? (I was there again yesterday. Marathon meeting tho; no time to socialise.)

    I knew the dream would end. Just had my first Google Docs crash in over two dasys…

    @handmethepanda The doc crashes upon inserting an image; says it can’t save and I have to refresh the page. Happens a LOT.

    @handmethepanda Happens in both Chrome and Firefox. I think it’s a known issue. It’s just a frustrating interruption.

    @jasony Not really. I’m the actual advocate for it. Normally I like it. It’s just been really crappy lately.

    @jasony I’ve had it happen on Mac Chrome and Firefox, and Windows Chrome. It’s a known Google issue, I think. They just don’t care. *sigh*

    How Tortoiseshell Cats Show the Limits of Cloning – Aww, I knew Dr Amy Jones was one in a million already.

    @susiegii Did you mean to tweet that, or did you get hacked?

    Team lunch at Japanese place today. Yummy! I left the rice, of course. 🙂 #reasonablypaleo @ Nakashima http://t.co/GagEzFJj

    @chrisgander Paleo is no grains, dude. http://t.co/m3S1tqdC (Geoff put me onto that site.)

    @chrisgander Paleo is big with the cross fit crowd, I thought. Are you still doing that?

    @chrisgander We did “Slow Carb” (similar to paleo) for most of last year. Made final tweaks this year: http://t.co/E9OhQqo4

    @chrisgander Plenty of places in Italy where they don’t eat that stuff. Steak! Meatballs! Fish! Veg! Plenty of good paleo Italian food. 🙂

    @chrisgander But yeah, if you’re addicted to flour/carbs, the first couple weeks are ROUGH. And if you love those foods, mentally it’s hard.

    RT @Foodimentary: “The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.”

    This cyclist has NO PROBLEM with the cops fining people for riding with no helmets and running red lights: http://t.co/GaDN3JzA.

    @witty_knitter In a country town, maybe. But in the CBD you’ve gotta be NUTS. If I’m on the road, I’m a vehicle and I obey the road laws.

    Chickened out in the face of downpour. Left bike at work and caught the bus.

    @randomknits Hills. Bigass hills.

    RT @BreakingNews: Huge solar flare heading toward Earth, may disrupt satellites… http://t.co/330gDR5n // Watch your servers, @venks79!

    RT @thekitchn: 15 twists on the egg for breakfast, starting with this pretty rolled omelet from @marthastewart: http://t.co/ZC8ikqBd

    The scene at the Broadway bus stop is like an apocalypse movie. A hundred people swarming each full bus as it pulls up to taunt us…

    @Rellarc79 It doesn’t. Those things are so stupid.

    Wore Docs as they’re the most waterproof shoes I have. My feet were soaked within 5 minutes. I think it’s time to get wellies. Suggestions?

    When your umbrella is visually indistinguishable from a circus tent, IT’S TOO DAMN BIG.

    @Alegrya Aren’t wellies and gumboots the same? Rubber is definitely what I want.

    Heard random cheering. Realised bus was stopped next to Apple Store. Staff appear to be cheering iPad pre-orderers.

    @DDsD Right now, judging by the applause I heard from the bus going by the Apple store this morning.

    @TrentEnd91 They don’t appear to have an Australian outlet. And there’s no way I can wait for international postage!

    RT @gilmae: I think the dreams of Eastern Sydney have finally come true. Western Sydney – the real Sydney – is now a distinct land mass.

    Woo. Managed to get iPhone updated to iOS 5.1.

    Hey, @Sitback was just nominated for the #bluedropawards for our work on the #drupal site http://t.co/casreN7E! http://t.co/GswJtmBE

  • Measurable Progress

    Over the past six weeks, I’ve ridden my bike to my new office in the Rocks several times. I realised today that I’ve been getting faster with every single ride! Check out this data:

    30/01 – 27:15
    03/02 – 22:57
    03/02 – 22:57
    06/02 – 21:36
    05/03 – 20:41
    06/03 – 19:24
    07/03 – 18:00

    I’ve ridden a lot more than that, but those are all basically the same route to work in the morning.

    Pretty cool, huh! Today was the fastest ever. I’m sure that some portion of it is just me being more comfortable riding in traffic, but there’s obviously some strength increases happening too. The best part is that I haven’t really been trying – I’m just having fun on my bike!

    Just discovered that @flipboard can mark Google Reader items as Read. AWESOME. I could not love Flipboard more.

    @twelveeyes I am wearing big-ass headphones this very minute.

    Hey @drkknits – did you see @paleotrack? I’m signing up right now to try it out! http://t.co/dqXtj4wL

    @paleotrack Very impressed with your web app! Any way to edit a custom food? I put in the serving unit incorrectly.

    @drkknits @paleotrack It has usual problem of lack of Aussie foods, but it’s very easy to add them. (I got my numbers from Calorie King.)

    @redambition @drkknits @pransellknit AGREED! Very clever. 🙂

    RT @Salon: Dilemmas of a gluten-free convert: How can I stay healthy without annoying my friends? http://t.co/uYrf0ZbT // Great article!

    @drkknits Hey, @kunaal84 is back and he’s finished Clash of Kings! We must be careful not to spoil him too badly next week. 🙂

    @drkknits @kunaal84 He had 658 emails waiting! He’s all important and shit. Unlike peons like us… 😛

    @toastman Establishment 218 in Alexandria. It has a giant walk in cool room and they give you coats and everything!!! http://t.co/gpxwMvjv

    @toastman Aren’t you a Justine fan? That’s where she gets ’em. http://t.co/yFs8fquh

    @toastman We were debating tonight whether I could strap a cooler to my bicycle. (Our new bigass fridge/freezer comes Saturday.)

    @toastman Snook has done that before. Costco has good prices on the loins too. Me, I want half a lamb in my freezer at all times.

    RT @CHOW: We’re all Irish once a year, right? Make your own corned beef for St. Patty’s Day http://t.co/K5IBxBeY // BRISKET, YEAH.

    Lazyweb: anybody got access to Microsoft Publisher? I have a .pub file that I can’t open.

    @betsybookworm Can I email it to you and have you convert to PDF or something? DM me your email address if you can…

    @betsybookworm Got it! Thanks. Just emailed you the file.

    @TheBACoach Thanks – I think I’ve got it covered. Will let you know if that doesn’t work out! 🙂

    @gilmae I think I got it, but I’ll let you know if it doesn’t work out.

    @SydneytoHunter I’m interested! Is the 2012 website going live soon? Still an option to join in for just one day?

    @betsybookworm Thank you so much! Perfect. 🙂
