    Mac and cheese with collard greens! My first time cooking them. Turns out 500ml of cream makes anything taste amazing. #yummy #heartattack ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’”

    Trying to use @AmericanExpress Rewards Points for @Ticketmaster_AU purchase and just getting error. Frustrating. Bad customer experience. https://t.co/8AlIUTqUjq


    I know what I’m doing on my next birthday. ๐Ÿ™‚ https://t.co/2Ka6x82ZbC


    @anthonypjshaw @AmericanExpress @Ticketmaster_AU It was my first ever attempt at using it. I wasn’t impressed.


    Bitching about realities of running a craft retail shop on Ravelry. Second only to bookstores in terms of retirement goals for masocists. ๐Ÿ™ƒ


    My @KnitYak package is on its way! Thanks @fbz – I can’t wait to get it. ๐Ÿ˜

    PS Moles is kind of a dick.


    Poor Edgar committed suicide, and evil Moles gets the girl? Such bullshit. #electricdreams


    Iโ€™m delighted to see though that Winston T. Dog played himself. #electricdreams https://t.co/rWsUABoV56

    I managed to track down a copy of a Roald Dahl story that I’d never read before! Except then I found out that I pretty much had. Still cool though.

    “The Amazing Eyes of Kuda Bux”


  • โ€œThe Amazing Eyes of Kuda Buxโ€ โ€“ Roald Dahl Fans

    Itโ€™s not often I get to read a story by Roald Dahl that Iโ€™ve never read before! Recently I had that wonderful thrill though when I finally managed to track down a copy of Dahlโ€™s 1952 essayย โ€œThe Amazing Eyes of Kuda Buxโ€ย in an old magazine on eBay. Head over to Roald Dahl Fans to read the rest…

    @jessfraz We have a shelf of similar items in our living room. We refer to it as The Museum of Obsolete Technology.


    @jessfraz Right now Iโ€™m staring at a 1st Gen iPod, original GameBoy, and mint condition Zip Drive. All dead but not forgotten.


    Finally seeing The Big Sick. Been looking forward to this! (@ Dendy Cinemas – @dendysydney in Newtown, NSW) https://t.co/Z2hrgbcS7Q


    AWESOME. Iโ€™ll be in Perth for @DDDPerth, so count me in @LJKenward! https://t.co/CPqX6GMGyS


    Just saw The Big Sick, and it was exactly as charming and funny as Iโ€™d hoped. Just what I needed! Well done @kumailn. ๐Ÿ‘

    Looking at upcoming tech meetups, and damn, Sydney is so fragmented. There are fully SEVENTEEN meetups happening on the 12th. ๐Ÿ˜• https://t.co/pVUd11PvY0


    @afcowie I guarantee you there’s a recruiter registering that group on @Meetup right now. ๐Ÿ™‚

    LOL I went to ESPN to see predictions for ND v. Temple and scrolled to the comments… ๐Ÿ˜‚ @carbocommander https://t.co/wW3OpmAwsg


    @jnowland @LinkedIn Oh, I changed it to “no.” I should’ve taken the screenshot afterwards. ๐Ÿ™‚

    @GLITCHAUS What’s the sizing like? How large is Large?


    @GRobilliard @lachlanhardy @danmedcraft @stevelikesyou I was at a tech event last night talking to someone griping about recruiters. “Except for Lookahead,” he added grudgingly. “They’re good.” ๐Ÿ˜˜


    @saramic Most imp. question – is it hand knit? Check seams inside. Some machine knits will be cut and sewn together, so you won’t get long strands.


    @saramic Once you unpick seams, you should be able to unravel from the top downwards (unless it was knitted top-down, in which case reverse).


    @saramic Then get or fashion a niddy noddy so you can wind hanks: https://t.co/nmANNcXBqz. Give the hanks a soak in the tub to relax the kinks.


    @saramic Then wind into new balls and knit away! ๐Ÿ™‚


    @saramic Here’s a tutorial as well! https://t.co/cqa3xCyqwx

    TFW you go to ESPN to check out predictions for ND vs Temple so you can trash-talk your brother-in-law only to find out he’s already been there. ๐Ÿ˜‚ http://www.espn.com.au/college-football/game?gameId=400934573

    Nice one, Daniel Carbo!
