Hello 
I'm Siobhan Curran/Kisa Naumova, and this is my weblog. I tend to write about stuff like crossdressing, Macs, code, cats, wine and Second Life, but in general it's just an ongoing conversation about all sorts of stuff. If you'd like to know a little bit more about what this all is, I recommend starting on this page which has a little bit of info on who I am, and what I'm trying to do — or you could dive into my five years worth of archives if you like.
Otherwise, feel free to close this box and explore...
Wish List
Here are some things I would like...
(1) A simple content management system
What with all the websites I've been doing recently (went to see a client about another one today — they liked my initial ideas 
), I'm getting into a situation where I'm getting constant requests to alter/amend stuff.
Now, I find it really hard to price that sort of thing (how on earth do you charge for changing 3 words on a web-page?) so I tend not to, but it's a pain in the arse to do really.
What I want is a simple thing — either a quick and easy way for clients to change text on a page using forms and server-side-includes, or something that will convert the page into a Word file, then take back the Word file and alter the page based on it.
Is that possible?
(2) More Dresses
(3) Some application that would let me write stuff in this diary without having to use a web browser.
I haven't ever gotten around to changing the way I write here — it's all done in one textarea on a pretty spase form page. I hacked a WYSIWYG HTML editor once, and was intending to use it on my benevolent wearetheprettyones.com site so that other people could have blogs — but it's still in a browser.
I'm not after something that will do all the bells and whistles — just a text editor that instead of saveing to disk, connects to my database here and tweaks accordingly.
(4) More spare time
Considering that I'm only a part-time worker, you'd probably assume that I spend most of my days twiddling my thumns going "la la la". Not so 
I spend most of my time running around doing things, usually unpaid, when really, I just want to relax.
...
Sorry, I think what I was trying to say there in (4) was that I've been in a right state this week. Which is why my blogging has been a bit crap — and also maybe why I was in such a beligerent mood in the chatroom last night. I've not really had much time to relax this week — after the trials of Tuesday's journey I've been absolutely knackered.
This morning, apart from a brief moment when I got woken up by the radio alarm that I forgot to un-set 
, I slept through until about 10ish (with some pretty werid intense dreams come to think of it). I could have slept longer, but I couldn't.
As a result, I've spent most of the day feeling sorry for myself. Which I shouldn't really. I came very close to chickening out of this weekend's trip with Kath — but I didn't.
The thing about this weekend is that it crept up on me all of a sudden — normally, before I go away somewhere, I've made all sorts of plans and am very excited. I guess my disappointment about not eing able to go clubbing on Saturday night put a bit of a downer on it for me, and made me less excited.
The result of all this is that it doesn't feel like I'm about to go away anywhere 
, which is bad because right this very second, I shouldn't be blogging, I should be packing 
Yeah, I know.
