Established in 2002
Today marks my 7th Blogiversary. Seven years ago, on July 18th 2002, I registered Kitta.net and started blogging about random events in my life. I celebrated this significant occasion by drinking bubbles with my beloved Tahlia and taking silly photos using my sexy new Macbook Pro.
I’m currently working on some back-end code on my blog. If anything looks weird or you encounter an error, don’t fear, I am aware of the problem(s). Stability will return shortly.
And yes, I have noticed that I haven’t blogged in ages. I’m doin’ the work, I’m baby steppin’, I’m not a slacker. Check it out! Look it!
Thank you. đ
The last two weeks have been filled with revision for mid-semester tests and assessments in lab. During the ions revision and mole calculations I got bored and drafted the following formula…
Spent this day hanging out with Herbert in the lab and doing some SCIENCE. Herbet learnt the hard way that acids can burn. He now wears proper protection when in lab.
Today was my first day back in class in for the semester. It was fun and interesting, in a brain melty kind of way. The units I’m studying this semester are a mix of chemistry, OH&S, testing procedures and various lab techniques. I’ve set the Periodic Table as my desktop wallpaper in hopes it might sink in.
The units seem spilt into two categories of students; older people who are retraining and school leavers. I’m stuck in the middle. I spent lunch with two older ladies, they chatted about bad sex and their multiple boyfriends, I nodded at various points while eating my fruit salad and thinking about Protons.
Things I learnt in lab today…

A friend sent me a SMS today, “Holy crap!!! You’re on G4tv!”
Holy crap, I am featured at #2 on G4tv’s Attack of the Show Women of the Web segment this week. I don’t think there is an appropriate swear word to really express what I went through my mind when I watched the above video.
I did spot two mistakes; my domain isn’t kitta.com (last time I checked it’s owned by a Russian company that makes warheads for submarines and I’ve tried to contact them about buying the domain for years) and it’s spelt ‘Nikita’, but all is forgiven because they said I’m a nerds dream. đ
According to the internet, I died.
Which really sucks. I finally found a boyfriend called Wanky who loves me, even though I’m a dude, and then I suddenly died according to Maxpower.
I have so many questions… How did I die? Was it a terrible high-heel related accident? Why did my beloved Wanky find out about my death at a variety of ass forum? Was there delicious cake at my funeral? Why was Fiona the only person to send @reply condolences? And why can I still post to my blog even though I’m dead?
The internet life is so confusing. đ
I recently joined the geeky Leetbix boys – Grum, Somegen, Cuzza and Noodlez – at Leetbix HQ (Casa SomeGrum) for a night of gaming, trying to figure out how to open a wine bottle without a corkscrew, drinking, and helping the boys record a chaotic episode of their podcast, Leetbix.
Also present for the recording was Devar, Richard and Antz with his BIG THING, meanwhile the cooler kids – Lulu, Simone, Keg and Justin – can be heard in the background, laughing and throwing random objects at us.
Topics we discussed and made fun of were; Little Big Planet, Rock Band (and why it’s not out in Australia yet), Blizzcon, Jack Thompson (and my theory on what he does at night with hookers), Mods on Steam, Wario Land: Shake it, Warhammer Online, Brothers In Arms, Mercenaries 2, Lego Batman (and what other things we want to be legofied), Guitar Hero Aerosmith, Burnout Paradise & bike pack, Red Alert 3, Heroes (and why I love future bondage Claire), True Blood, Knight Rider (and why it sucked), and Top Gear Australia. We also mused about the short film shot on the Canon 5D Mk2 and the Google phone.
Once we were done recording we moved on to the gaming portion of the night, paying Buzz and Singstar. It was a fun night that finally ended around 4am, after we all became hungry and noticed the time. I finally collapsed in bed around 6am, just as the sun filtered through my window and the birds tweeted annoyingly.
If you want to listen to ‘The Boycott’ Leetbix episode, you can do so by subscribing via iTunes or clicking over to the Leetbix website to downloading it. More photos and videos from the event can be found on my Flickr and on Antz gallery.
Disclaimer: I was slightly tipsy; I would like to apologise to WoW players that don’t have a life, dead hookers, hookers in general, people who don’t know what computers are, cam whores, the girl from Passions, and anyone else I may have offended during the recording. The Penfolds Tawny Port made me do it.
Yesterday I turned 24 human years old – Kitta version 2.4 Alpha in net years – I celebrated my day of birth with my family and became quite tipsy while drinking some strange pink fizzy wine that I was informed I had to drink. I was suffering from a slight hangover today because of said pink fizzy wine. My family says I was drunk, I say I was tipsy, because I refuse to admit that pink fizzy wine can make you drunk. It’s just too girly.
Speaking of girly, one of my birthday presents was a pink camera.
It all started a month ago when my family asked me what I desired for my birthday, besides an electron microscope, I told them I wanted a shiny new camera. My family took me camera shopping after I had a few glasses of wine at lunch and I started flirting with the sales guy to obtain a further discount on the sale price. It totally worked. But the only Canon IXUS80 IS (also known as the Powershot SD1100 IS) in stock was in pink.
It does take nice pictures (of my tipsy self) though.
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who sent me birthday well wishes via email, Twitter, Facebook, DM’s, PM’s, SMS’s, flying monkeys, phone calls, etc. You made me feel very loved and I’m grateful to have so many wonderful people in my life. 
Today marks my 6th Blogiversary. Six years ago, on July 18th 2002 BSC, I registered my domain Kitta.net and started blogging. It’s hard to believe I’ve been blogging for so long and received nearly four million unique hits.
But this isn’t my first time I’ve blogged. Oh no.
Prior this blog I had a Teen Open Diary from 2000 to 2002. For those of you who know what that is, you’ll be cringing or laughing. For those of you that don’t know what it is, you’ll be trying to Google it and are probably better off not knowing. TOD closed down years ago and the domain is now home to spam links. I decided to track it down my TOD via the internet time machine.
At the time I was teenager, working as a model and studying design. The majority of my posts were about my experiences in the fashion industry, which would have be interesting if I applied proper spelling and didn’t complete every quiz I found. It featured poems from my boyfriend, pointless rants and forwarded email jokes. I posted riveting entries entitled “I wasn’t gonna write but…”, “I have so much to write…”, “…and make you moan the ABC’s in spanish”, “Some things have happened”, “My day was pretty good”, “10 cookies, a piece of pizza & some M&M’s”, “Boredness, hornyness & kittas gentlemans club”, “Always a bride, never actually married”, “Long time, no me typing crap into this diary…”, “Doggie style & Things that piss me off”, “Does this taste funny to you?” “Freedom of X-rated stuff” and “Gutter sluts and Lush.” I also provided some code advice for fellow TOD users, “Kitta’s guide to linking in TOD” was quite popular, while “Kitta’s guide to Html Basics in TOD” and “More of Kitta’s guide to html” provided great insight into HTML. Everyone was so amazed by “Kitta’s guide to posting a picture in TOD” and “Why your pictures wont show in your TOD” that I probably should have won a Nobel prize for my work.
Thankfully, none of those entries were indexed, neither was my terrible first attempt at a website on a free hosting site – we’re talking black and magenta with comic sans. Sexy.
I went through my Kitta.net archives today and picked a few of my favourite blog posts to mark the occasion…
Here’s to another year of blog posts about random moments of my life.
