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...

Coffee++

Coffee is glorious stuff. Not only does it kick-start your brain in the morning, and maintain high levels of alertness during the daily grind, you can also carefully hold a mug of the stuff in the hollow of your neck to get heat right into the muscle that you somehow managed to pull as you woke up a few minutes earlier.

Busy day today. My Financial Advisor (check me out) is coming round in a couple of hours to help me work out just what I can afford house-wise, and maybe turn all this pipe-dreaming of Victorian Leeds terraces into something more closely resembling reality.

But before he comes, I need to (a) tidy away the lingerie I carelessly flung around the place last night, too lazy to put it into drawers (he knows — in fact, we've been to the Flying Handbag in Blackpool together ages ago — it's just I want him to go "Oooh" when he sees the house, and suspender belts handing off door handles doesn't exactly add to the value of your property).

And (b) call my sodding ISP because if I'm not online again soon, I think I'm going to lose the will to live.

But first ... more coffee :smile:

Wheeeee! You're back! Though there must still be problems as I couldn't get through here from home at the weekend or this morning and it's only by persuading the filter people that you aren't writing a 'sex' blog but a 'lifestyle' blog that I can see you from work...

Loz

Ah, it took a good hour or two this morning to completely reconfigure my network — which I'm still not happy with — so I've only been back up for the past hour or so. Basically, according to the tech-support guy (who I could hear heavily sighing when I said the magic words "Um, see, I'm on a Mac") they did stuff to the local exchange which borked my settings.

"Lifestyle blog" — I like that :smile:

OH DEAR GOD — I've got 400 emails :unsure:

53 CSS-Techniques You Couldn't Live Without

Ah, wonderful nuggets of layout goodness all in one place — I'll have to read through all of these when I'm less giddy about being back online :smile: [via Daring Fireball ]

Two things:

1) — Welcome back.

2) — Your financial advisor comes round to your house ? What the hell sort of bank are you with?

Dan Cooper

What the hell sort of bank are you with?

An Evil Bastard one, hence why I have an independent financial advisor who's lovely and comes to my house :smile:

Get a First Life

"Fornicate using your actual genitals" — :lol: [via NRT ]

Gah — just commented on yesterday's page, instead of this one. Why haven't you changed your code, so that all comments get added to the current page? Hmm? Hmm?

Because you have a life, and that life doesn't revolve around my requirements. So I'll let you off, this time... :wink:

Koan

Siobhan who?

(Five days is a l.o.n.g time in 'cyberspace'.) :wink:

Glad you're back.

But I Don't Exist

At what point do you get on enough junk-mail lists to actually qualify as technically a real person?

Garrot

While I was offline, I took the opportunity to tidy up the mess of cables under my desk. I started off well, but lost enthusiasm soon enough and just cable-tied them all together instead

I was hoping you'd seen that First Life thing. Gave me quite the chuckle.

And I can't even log in to SL anymore...they've blocked it here. Makes me saddish.
