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...
There Are Two Things...
...to notice here.
(1) A pretty rainbow
(2) I actually managed to get into work for 9am this morning. Granted, I had to get up at 5am to do that, and it's half-term so there weren't the hoardes of 4x4s with one child each in them ... but still
The welcome box works!
I cleared my cookies this morning so there it was.
Looks nice in IE5.5 too 
Why are public sector IT departments all seemingly stuck at IE5.5 — it can't be for its excellent security.
I run into problems with that mess of a browser all the time in a professional capacity.
If there's ever a case that proves the maxim "better the devil you know" is a crock of horse shit, this is it.
*rant pant*
Harumph! The public sector IT dept I work for proudly use IE6. Which is still a crock of shit.
Tidy
Cos we are tight bastards upgrading to IE6 or 7 would mean paying the network provider money to implement the changes. It's "fit for purpose" alledgely so why change. Grrr Grrr Grrr
At some point I could bore you all rigid with the botched installations of the MS Office suite we have.
Does Education count as Public Sector? Cos we're all swanning around with MacBook Pros and 12 inch Powerbooks running Safari and Firefox 
Ahh good old IE. I would much prefer to deploy Firefox to the NHS Trust I work for but the NHS National Prog for IT isn't compatible with it. Muppets.
Oh and I see IE7 already has a nice spoofing hole in it.
I'm convinced that half-term is the universal panacea for all mankind's ills. I mean, is there anyone who doesn't love it? Children, teachers, commuters, John Humpries — everybody loves half-term. It should be the de-facto state of our nation.
