While I faffed around the other day in my private virtual playground, sinking badly terraformed continents, Open Sim’s Diva Canto was thinking deeply on the future. And yesterday my graphics card appears to have cooked itself, so no terraforming in Second Life or Open Sim for me for a while. The fan isn’t spinning, so I will have to fallback on the original crap card. This will force me to do other things, while we figure out my next computer option. The future of Open Sim is coming, although the present looks and feels a bit like Second Life from…

The shock-horror! The breaking news via Twitter today spread quickly. It’s horrible news for those who can’t or won’t upgrade from V1.23 based viewers; I’m lucky enough to be able to use mesh-enabled V3 versions. I had to see for myself; there’s not a lot of content there yet but TONS of free land. So I claimed this bit. Second Life LUsR Grid via Viewer V4.1.12, originally uploaded by Lelani Carver.

Somehow even *I* managed to install New World Studio and load a couple of @LindaKellie 's OARs.

Unlike many Second Life merchants, neither Miss Lelani nor I have found problems with our Marketplace stores, listings, or images. However, both store pages need updates due to outdated SLurls and such, but the process of updating needs time, patience, and quiet. Mine is here, Lelani’s is there, unless it’s a web-cache-thingy problem, we’re not seeing anything wrong (there have been some pretty dire failures suffered by other merchants). Amused to see that her unscripted pet beds are apparently marked Mature Content by the Marketeplace, visible only once logged in, because apparently BED is synonymous with conjugal relations. How droll.…

Taken at Cafe Wellstone; I was wearing my new mesh hair and wondering how it looked to anyone not using a mesh-enabled viewer. My friend Nakaima Oh helpfully sent this along. Awesome! My hair and my mental state are in perfect synch! Dumb As A Box O’Hair, originally uploaded by Lelani Carver.

A few years ago I started a new user avatar for a published author for an appearance at Lackamas Hall Reading Room in Pini – sponsored by Jackson Street Books. During the process at that time, I passed a number of brand-new potential Residents who seemed unable to figure out how to get OUT of the orientation area or off the island. Many were pretty much like this guy: Inara Pey started a discussion about Linden Lab’s new Destination Islands (welcome areas for new users) that quickly got a lot of people talking. I posted a long comment only to…

As a fairly casual Second Life Resident, I generally stick to the tried and true: music and dance animations are the social glue of Second Life, a good graphics card and fast computer is a must, and the official Second Life Viewer sucks. It frustrates long-time users with its irritating features designed with the first time (or more likely, “one time” ) user in mind. The sidebar flyout is greatly improved over the original version, though. Now the “sidebar” is a series of sticky boxes that can be detached at either side or bottom, and not all of them have…
