Welcome to my site.

For many years I have toyed with setting up my own personal site and I'm really happy to say "here it is".

Kattiva is a nickname I have had for many years. It comes from cattiva, which in Italian means mischief!

I mostly grew up in Goulburn, a town in the Southern Highlands of NSW, but have been in Sydney since my mid-teens. I currently live with my wonderful and very understanding partner; 3 very spoilt and much loved cats, Heidi B Giegee Girl, Jasper A Rasper & Madam Samantha Puffkins; a previously loved goldfish, Beelzebubbles, and his new tank mates - Mr Bubblesworth & the ¡Three Amigos! (Dusty, Lucky and Ned).

I became fascinated by computers after a school visit to the local council chambers where they had small main frame. Not long after I saw "Desk Set" with Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy (I still love those old movies, especially on rainy days) - computer convert from then on. My first job involved working with an main frame that took up half an office floor, eventually I started working with PCs and watched in awe as they soon made that enormous machine look totally inadequate.

During my original wanderings on the 'net I discovered the many wonderful things people can do with graphics. Stumbling across Paint Shop Pro (5) I started to play around and soon became addicted. I am now on version 8 and am still enjoying learning new techniques. I would describe myself as a dedicated amateur. It so much more fun to me than my everyday job!

I have split this site into 6 main sections:

  • About - about me, about this site, guestbook someday soon (sign it if you like), possibly a blog and other me related stuff,
  • My Wiccan Ways - this is where information I have gathered over the years about my personal beliefs can be found,
  • Graphics - over time I hope to be adding web sets, tubes, brushes as linkware to this area for you to enjoy,
  • Interests - another things that I enjoy doing,
  • mmorgs - here you will find a bit of information and links about the online games I play far too much of,
  • Unknown - at this stage I have no idea what may appear in this area, we'll just have to wait and see what happens there

Each section will, hopefully, end up with many sub sections of fun.

At the top of each page is a java script drop down menu that will take you to all of the main pages and most of the the sub-pages. At the bottom of each page are buttons that will take you to the main pages.

One last thing, the images you see on this site I have collected over many years and are from various sources, although some I have created myself. To the best of my knowledge they are for public/personal use. I do not claim copywrite on images that have come from other places, only the resulting combination. If at all possible I will give credit where it is due.
If I have an image incorrectly credited or you find an image you own and want removed, please inform me and I will rectify this error as soon as I possibly can.

So look around and I hope you enjoy what you find.
