@randomknits Mine went through overnight. Since I also manually added a bunch out of impatience, now I have to clean up duplicates. *sigh*

---

RT @TheOldReader: The import is now on, but please note, we are slowly rebalancing everything, so things will stay slow for a while.

---

@witty_knitter I think @theoldreader is asleep right now. They’re in Europe so you won’t get an answer for a while!

---

Awww. The Google doodle for me is birthday cakes.

RT @SnarkySteff: A dad overhears his teen son telling his boyfriend on phone about his plans to come out. Dad’s note to his kid: http:// …

---

Hm. Anybody have any ideas what I can do with, like, 200 business cards for a job I’m leaving?

---

@betsybookworm They’re not square. They’re hip parallelograms.

---

@handmethepanda Awww, that sucks. I’m sorry! My own feelings are pretty mixed, but not that bad thankfully.

---

@randomknits They’re not square. Stupid hipster parallelograms.

---

No no, everyone, card houses won’t work. They’re hipster parallelograms!

---

@wheelyweb I already had one person suggest I dump them all the business card bowl at the next WebBlast. WIN ALL THE PRIZES.

---

@that_alison Nope. They’re red with a big logo and not really space to write on. Totally useless!

---

@stufromoz @barrysaunders I also don’t get the iTunes hate. Seems fine to me.

---

More French birthday treats! Cake from the gang at Sitback. http://t.co/1JfILa7vyJ

---

RT @kielmarlow: Happy birthday and good luck @web_goddess http://t.co/9Hfgp4428E // I GOT FLOWERS! Thanks @Sitback!

---

@knitdra Yep, last day!

---

MOAR TREATS. Good grief. I’m gonna have major carb-face for my job interviews. http://t.co/bBKwzguyJZ

---

This bus driver is clearly about one more ill-mannered pedestrian away from some sort of “Falling Down” scenario.

---

RT @mudsurfer: @web_goddess sew into formal gown for iiba dinner. // Hahaha – definitely the best idea anybody’s offered!

---

@toastman Thanks Mr Toast! I’m not panicking just yet. I am willing good possibilities into existence.

---

My friend @kielmarlow’s wife bought him a shirt from Marc Jacobs. I said: “Hey, that looks like Liberty fabric.” He checked tags. IT WAS!

---

I haven’t been as proud since the day I realised I’d subconsciously memorised half the numbers for DMC embroidery floss.

---

@imdominating I read American Psycho. I can’t imagine anything worse.

---

MT @MS_Living: It’s National Potato Chip Day! Celebrate with our Potato Chip Cookie recipe. http://t.co/zwtS8pHtjY // KILLING IT, MARTHA.

---

@stufromoz Aw, thanks! It got rather overshadowed by the whole redundancy thing. Bad timing. 🙂

---

RT @goldfishgeorge: they make great yarn bobbins for colourwork! // Ooh. That’s another very good idea.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits HAR. HAR. (It’s a fancy multi-touch computer mouse that Apple makes. I had one at my office. I miss it. A lot.)

---

There appears to be crochet in my Twitter feed. THAT WON’T DO AT ALL. *stern look*

---

Birthday dinner. We’re going for the 12hr Slow Roast Lamb Shoulder special… Rodd http://t.co/ITCkXqvWy7

---

Irish feast! Slow roast lamb, minted yogurt carrots, colcannon, and lamb jus. And more. SO FULL. http://t.co/GItORrhCEs

---

Snook has helped me configure Ubuntu so I can use my beloved aluminium Mac keyboard (and Mac shortcuts). Again: totes Angelina in Hackers.

---

@pyko You’re not one of those people with 87 icons on their desktop are you?

---

@lemon_lime @udjamaflip Haha, seriously the nerdiest thing I’ve heard in ages. That’s counting the Bluetooth chat I had with Snook just now.

---

@lemon_lime @udjamaflip Are you decked out like nerds, or are you guys trying to be the cool guys there?

---

@pyko Hahaha… That is terrible. I am kind of OCD about file organisation. Laptop = pristine. Google Drive is a mess though. #badfengshui

---

@lemon_lime @udjamaflip HIPSTER NERD! I heartily approve. Totally the cool guy.

---

I know @TheOldReader staff are still working on it, but I’m already noticing the site is much more responsive. Thanks guys!

---

@pamelafox @lachlanhardy I overheard UX folks discussing wedding site. Pointed out their IA needs to handle gay marriage. Blew their minds!

---

It looks like such a nice day out there. I wish my garden was finished so I could use it.

---

@ppetrovski I’m trying out http://t.co/TWEaCqyLQr. Importing my subs over there right now…

---

For anybody setting up http://t.co/TWEaCqyLQr, I’m on there as “krishoward” if you want to follow me.

---

@Roceal HOLY CRAP, CONGRATULATIONS!!

---

RT @Pinboard: “We need to focus. Keep the self-driving cars, magic glasses, laptop, handheld OS, and Brazilian social network. Ditch the …

---

@knitterjp @Helen__H @liamvhogan @Alegrya So far The Old Reader looks good. Must be getting slammed; taking a while to import my feeds.

---

RT @TheOldReader: Hello new users. There are quite a lot of you because of that GR news, so things will be slow while you try to import …

---

@codepo8 I’m trying out The Old Reader. Getting slammed now, but it looks good. It’s got the old sharing/commenting too.

---

Annoyed that @the_snook signed up for @TheOldReader after me, yet his feeds are all imported and I’ve only got 3.

---

Manually setting up all my RSS feeds on The Old Reader. Huh. A lot of these sites are dead. I guess it was time for a spring clean anyway!

---

@liamvhogan It strikes me that I may be screwing myself doing them manually if the import I kicked off ever does finish.

---

@Alegrya I figured it out! Double click on the folder name.

---

@handmethepanda @Alegrya Not that I can see, but if @TheOldReader wants cash, I will happily throw some their way!

---

Pretty much going nuclear on Google Reader. As each feed folder is moved to @TheOldReader, I’m hitting “unsub from all”. NO GOING BACK.

---

@wheelyweb I vote YEA!

---

@drkknits GODDAMIT VIRGINIA. Hey @lemon_lime, your area has a lot to answer for!

---

@drkknits @imdominating No, Hicksville is in Ohio. I know because I was born there. (No shit.)

---

@KathrynElliott Huh! Very different to my experience. Whole30 is very strict though. I aim for a little more leeway.

---

Any knitters going to M&S tonight? (Or more specifically – to the Bowlo?)

---

Woohoo! Interview lined up for Monday with State Library. (Too bad I wore my sexy librarian outfit today.) http://t.co/grQ50ObgUu

---

@knitterjp @messicat Oh good. I might meet you over at 99 York…

---

The SEO “blog network” spam I get is ridiculous. “We’ll give you spam copy for your site, and in return you get a $15 website review.” FAIL.

---

@zosainsbury I signed up to http://t.co/6iqCycIfBe today. Lots of refugees heading there.

---

@zosainsbury It’s a bit slow right now – think they got hammered today.

---

@mrs_sockvictim Who’s this Tim fellow? 🙂

---

@messicat @knitterjp @smark31 @1funkyknitwit I’m having some beers with a colleague first, so I’ll go to the bowling club. 🙂

---

The Festival of Redundancy continues. Beers at The Lord Nelson with @venks79, @kunaal84, and Zagbot; now beers at the Bowlo with knitters!

---

@BendalongMorgan Really?! What were you doing for them? I was meant to interview tomorrow but couldn’t make it.

---

I met Galina Khmeleva tonight at M&S and showed her photos of my Show knitting and she said it was beautiful. Awesome.

---

@TheOldReader @the_snook It’s okay! I love your service so far. I’m serious; I’ll pay to keep it going!

---

@BendalongMorgan It’s Senior Business Analyst working in digital department. Not sure what sort of projects exactly yet…

---

@mrs_sockvictim Everyone was gone when I got to M&S, so I was the only one who met her. (She was talking to Mrs M.)

---

Last night I learned you can buy a takeaway bottle of wine at the Bowling Club for $9.50. Today I have a terrible headache. Related.

---

@drkknits 7:30. Ow. My head.

---

@drkknits It’s my Festival of Birthday Redundancy.

---

Yay! Overnight all my RSS feeds got imported into @TheOldReader. Loving it.

---

Well, @kunaal84 didn’t bake for me… but I forgive him. 🙂 http://t.co/ctt2SMUzFv

---

@brown_note It’s hard, isn’t it? Most people don’t enjoy reading info from sources they disagree with, so you don’t usually seek it out.

---

I am going to miss my Magic Mouse. Thinking of buying my own, but damn, $75?! Does anybody know of a non-Apple alternative that works well?
