Hello smile

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...

Is It Just Me...

Or does anyone else find that when reading a large, text-weighty document, your mind can drift off halfway through a page onto other things, and it's only when you get to the end of the page and have to turn over that you realise you've still been reading every word, but you have no idea what it said?

..... Hummm?

Oh yeah I like jam too, strawberry is best I think.

An anonymous coward

yes I do that all the time, specially when Im studying :smile:

TransWiccan

Sorry, what was that?

trannyflickrverse v0.1

Why do I do this to myself?

I've been thinking a lot recently about the proliferation of TV groups on Flickr, and how they link/interact with each other, so I thought I'd make a map like the TrannieSphere© one I made last year.

Rules are: Start with trannyflickr. Take each admin in turn and link to all the TV groups they're a member of. Repeat...

(Not sure about the non-TV groups yet — it could all become far too complicated)

Link me to My Best Tranny Pic :wink:

Joanna

I've not got to you yet :tongue: I've only got as far as April ...

Oh yeah, one thing I forgot to say...

Please can everyone stop setting up new Tranny groups until I've finished this?

Thanks :wink:

...

Hmm, twenty past five in the afternoon, and I'm going slightly insane from clicking through all these tranny groups...

I recommend the original size and a fast connection...

Buddyicon

Well, it seemed funny at the time

"my mac can put 200,000 millions of polygons in the screen at a time."

"Ok, but, why is your head a box?"

Full Frontal Gravatar

Just as a short respite while I tear my eyes away from staring at the (other) screen for a moment, and before I try to solidify some of the thoughts I've been having recently about 'fragmentation', 'specialisation' and 'if you create it, they won't necessarily come', I wanted to mention gravatars/buddyicons and the like for a second.

God I've seen some shite ones today. Tiny grainy 48x48 pixel views of people's arses, cocks, vadges and mugs.

It does make me wonder sometimes exactly how the traditions of one web-based resource seem to extend into new ones — whereby in Flickr the buddyicons in some respects has become the 'profile picture'.

Not obviously in all cases. There's thousands of people who put as much care and attention into crafting the most pixel-perfect 48x48 representation of themselves as they put into their photographs.

But trust me, I've seen the worst today :unsure:

Aw, Shucks

Thanks Flickr!

Sorry, I seem to be obsessed with icons today :unsure: I was just uploading a new group icon for the My Best Tranny Pic (like the Top20 group, but without the ~~fun~~ bitching), and I spotted a Flickr Compliment.

You're about to tell me that Flickr says that every time you upload an icon, but I'm paying absolutely no attention to you whatsoever :tongue:

Hmmmm no wiccan Trannys?? Yes I know Im a one-man/woman group, mia culpa :sad:

"There's thousands of people who put as much care and attention into crafting the most pixel-perfect 48x48 representation of themselves as they put into their photographs."

True, but it comes back to what you were saying the other day about flickr being a tool that enables creativity. Some of us have neither the time nor the technical know-how (nor the aesthetic je ne sais quois) to come up with something as pleasing as some gravatars I could mention (incidentally — when did an avatar gravitate into a gravatar? Or have I just answered my own question there?)

I'm not thinking about the "arses, cocks, vadges" (what is a vadge? — no, better not answer that) but the heavily compressed photo into 2304 pixcels (like mine). Remember, even Shakespeare made spelling mistakes — but the quality of his work is without question. Which is better, a personal 48x48 picture or a standard off-the-peg model? Otherwise we'll all be little grey block-faces.

Ah, fair point :unsure: I guess I was just a little stunned into a state of agawpness by the number of flaccid willies and cheese-wired butts I've seen today...

I'm missing! But I figure you just ran out of your alotted number of clicks for the day and will get around to it eventually.

It's cool.
