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...
Ummmm not sure but probably 
Gah. Careless fingers cost blog-posts.
The UFO house on Flickr
Yes, I thought "SL" too, but it's real
It's one of those high-contrast multi-exposure photographs (I can't remember the TLA offhand), so does look a bit artificial.
Ahem. HDR (high dynamic range) — as it says in the Flickr caption. Oops.
I love the look of HDR images, I tried to do it but my crappy little camera is too basic. I should dust off my old film SLR

Nah, you can use Photomatix Pro to get some decent images even with a point-and-shoot camera.
My little Nikon has an "auto-bracketing" feature that will capture an image at three different exposure levels, then I just import those into Photomatix.
If I can't use the bracketing feature, then I just import the single image into Photomatix three times and bump the brightness/contrast up/down on two of the images before generating the HDR.
I thought it was done in a rendering program.
Then i read the comments.
Oops.
Peripheral Illiteracy
Do you ever see something out of the corner of your eye, something that even though you know what it actually says/is, your brain fools you for a second into thinking it says/is something else?
This afternoon, for a fleeting moment, I saw this:
Toys, Pram
Right. This is ridiculous. I posted the above ages ago, and have had no comments whatsoever. Yet Becky 
(a nice girl too) posts something AFTER me and gets three comments.
(Remind me to expand on this BTW)
You need to expand on this, natch.
You have a fleet of lorries bearing your name. Does Becky? No? Then cease the narcissistic attention-seeking!
If the flag had borne "aubergine", well, then I'd have commented.
*coughtrannyflickrcough*
OK, now I get it!
I'd never looked in that group before, and so was blissfully unaware of that little instance of a bruised ego...
Counting up your comments is one short step away from counting your birthday cards...
An anonymous coward
Oh that was way too funny!

great blog
:grin:
Someone once explained to me (probably in my dreams) that when you see things that are not what are actually there, it's because your brain went fart for a fraction of a second, and then your neurons go bump with the wrong ones and make you see things that aren't what they actually are.
I've had that happen to me before. I find it funny because the things you see always have some similarity with the actual thing that is there.
Am I in the middle of something brilliant?
