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...
Things That Nark Me (Number 2846)
Just a quickie. This morning, on the way to Leeds, I stopped for petrol. I know — amazing eh? What a fantastically interesting life I lead.
The thing is though, there was a big queue, but half the pumps were empty. Everyone was queuing up for the pumps on the same side as their petrol tanks. The look on their faces as I sauntered past them, pulled up at one of the free ones, then pulled the nozzle out as far as it went so I could wrap it around my car was priceless.
Temporary Shutdown
Things are going to go quiet around here for a bit. Sorry. Not that anyone cares or anything 
Um, probably about a week or so — busy busy busy (It's that time of year)
Ooooh exams, I feel for you. My dad used to disappear into the attic round this time of year either writing papers or marking them only to reappear sometime in June looking tired and wan.
Apple — MacBook
Want. Wantwantwantwantwantwant. Two please.
Lancaster fingered as phone theft capital
Damm, that's the end of my little racket — (via The Register)
I have to admit to being very tempted by the MacBook, especially when you can get it to triple boot MacOs / Windows / RiscOS

No, you really really really don't want a MacBook. 64Mb of VRAM? Pfff.

I've not had to mark an exam or write a school report for several years now.. and its been bloody great!
Um, guys? You don't actually think I mark exams do yous? 
I'll try and explain the Assessment Procedure when it's all over and I have some time again.
"Um, guys? You don't actually think I mark exams do yous?"
Being innocent science students, daughters of computer studies lecturers we would have assumed that exams were somewhere in the process!
You may not have actual written exams but I bet the examination procedure is still rigorous. Or is what they say about the arts all true?
"Things are going to go quiet around here for a bit."
Mmmmm You, madam, have the lasting power of a damp kitkat
OK..... dodgy coursework then
And I thought you lot were all going out on strike anyway?
hmmm — if you're going to be busy, perhaps some other people should guest tranniefesto, as you've suggested a while back....?
(not me of course — I'm far too busy 
)

My pic ages ago used to come up from your site.I relogged it but I have nothing but grief and tears as it won't appear on the cChat.It did once..I don't know how.It is all a deep mystetry as I do not understand very much here at all
XXX Yvonne (I am having a wonderful time erotically..but computers make me very unhappy)
I don't need two, I just can't decide if I should get the least expensive one, which is fine for what I would use it for, or pay the extra $400 for the most expensive one, seeing that it's black and all...
Emily Grae
Mmmmm You, madam, have the lasting power of a damp kitkat
I only meant that I wouldn't be writing anything big in the near future — that doesn't stop me posting links and pictures
And I thought you lot were all going out on strike anyway?
Only the ones in NATFHE and the AUT, neither of which I'm in (forshame)
perhaps some other people should guest tranniefesto
As soon as I work out how to style it honey
Err.. why does you getting petrol before everyone else nark you?
It doesn't — it's having to queue behind numpties that don't know they can use both sides of the pumps that does (I should have worded that little rant better, perhaps)
but computers make me very unhappy
Yvonne, I'll have a look when I get home — I probably just lost it or something.
pay the extra $400 for the most expensive one, seeing that it's black and all
Emily, the general rule is to buy the best you can afford, when you need it. And not to fret about a better one coming out within two months See, personally, I'd love one, but I don't need one.
64Mb of VRAM? Pfff
Yes, but Ian, surely it's worth it to be completely immune from viruses?
(Damm, I need a smiley for "tongue in cheek")
Now, I have about 50 DVDs to author, so I'd better get cracking...
Lancaster's also the silliest place to live:

You can have endless fun with this, typing in intellectual search terms like "wanker"
Hmmm — the top place for a "tranny" is, wait for it...
Uddingston
Lies, damn lies and statistics — the Police are hoping mad as according to them Lancaster is in fact the lowest place in Lancashire for mobile phone theft...

How long is a bit? 5 or 10 minutes?
