Minor appearance changes

Wed, 07/14/2010 - 10:57pm — WebMistress

The Cornbury site now has a somewhat larger typeface and some other cosmetic changes as well. Don't worry - it's the same site! Hopefully you'll find it a little easier to read.

Open Meetings - how they might work

Thu, 07/08/2010 - 8:25pm — WebMistress

Since rewriting the poll about open meetings, I've noticed a much greater response. On behalf of the executive who has to deal with these things, thank you. It seems a little more explanation is warranted, however, so people know exactly how this would all work in practice.

First, a bit of terminology. "Cornbury member" means a member in good standing, personally screened by a member of the executive before joining. "Site member" means anyone who has visited the Cornbury site and has been interested enough to create themselves an account. "General public" means pretty much everyone.

Newer, Better, Faster, Smarter. Smaller.

On Friday 25 June, your resident pretty face, a.k.a. geek - or is that geekette? - upgraded the old Cornbury server. If you've visited the site before, you've known and complained about how slow and unresponsive it was. But if you're reading this now, you'll already have noticed the biggest improvement.

SPEED.

The site is now about 15X faster than before, with much faster image display and page delivery. We're also saving about 0.25kWH energy!

How DID she do it, you ask?

Reflections on Full-Time

Mon, 05/31/2010 - 8:49am — WebMistress

As many dear readers will know, I have begun the journey to transition. Well, perhaps it's more like starting on a major leg of that journey; transition for me really began when I came to the realisation (admitted to myself?) that I am indeed transgender. I'm not in this just for the clothes, just for the thrill, just for the excellence of the crossdressing craft, or indeed "just for" anything. I, as many transgenders will understand, am truly Stephanie at my centre.

New section for Trans Resources

Tue, 04/20/2010 - 8:14am — WebMistress

There's a new page for resources specifically for those in or contemplating transition. See "For Trans Folks" under Site Navigation to your left. Contributions, links and suggestions welcome!

Here's a handy gizmo! Go to the Bra Size Calculator and see what size bra you should be wearing!

Resource Directory and Geobrowser

Sun, 01/17/2010 - 9:43pm — WebMistress

There's a new toy to play with on the website! Under Site Navigation, click Resources. You'll see Resources, our familiar directory of businesses and resources. You'll also see Geobrowser, which is an interactive map with a list of clickable categories. Click to see where different types of business are located. Many are marked with cool little icons.

Please, if you spot any that are no longer in business, or know of any favourites that aren't showing up, email iclick_here@cornbury.org. We'll update our directory accordingly.

Why not read about...

...the cool stuff our members create! Some of us are great cooks and have a number of awesome recipes in Lady Cornbury's Kitchen. Even though the entertainment season has wound down somewhat, there are lots of cool things to try here. Plus, if you haven't been there for a while there are several new additions.

A number of our members are also excellent writers. There's a lot of entertaining writing and some food for thought in Recommended Reading.

Email security

Tue, 12/22/2009 - 11:07pm — WebMistress

We all hate spam. We all hate finding that our email address has been harvested into some spammer's files, ready to be sold to anyone. Fortunately, there are ways to slow the harvesters down.
