Let’s face it, I’m totally blocked, creatively. Part of that is that I suck as a builder, unless I bother to put the time in it, and I haven’t lately (“Yeah, yeah, excuses. Rezz a box.”). Part of that is that I lack confidence in doing a good enough job at it (“get ahold of yourself! Buck up!”). Part of it is that I’m not that creative – I’m more a “follow the recipe” person rather than a “follow through on an idea and just GET IT DONE” person. But I do take pretty good pictures now and then, give…

…o… then the open road beckoned on Routes 9 and 10, so I rode various zombiemobiles owned by AnnMarie Oleander/Otoole/OSomething, notorious vehicle spammer/scripter. The steam roller was pretty good, actually; it mowed right through the ice cream truck (I HATE THE ICE CREAM TRUCK) and the school bus (hate that one too). But it met its match in the Trojan Horse and got knocked catty-wampus pointing in the wrong direction. I couldn’t get it to reverse direction, so I went on with one of my own vehicles (the redoubtable Xcentricity H8wheel) for a while. Had to sneak down the side…

The change will allow avatars to fly unassisted to 4,096 meters. Any device that adds PUSH to an avatar, to overcome the old limit, will likely launch avatars on an exciting ride. I got to test my flight feather in ADITI. They are no problem. They work fine. The neat part is they are not needed below 4,096 meters. via #SL News Update I Week 15 Seems like a good time to test my old flight feathers and the “flight assist hat” that I have up on the Marketplace and in a Relay for Life vendor. Counting the hours until…

This article discusses some Improvements to New World Studio that are coming soon that I’d read about on Hypergrid Business, with some new preview images. Side note: they are looking for testers. I don’t speak French but I speak enough Spanish and Italian (and have seen quite a few subtitled French films) to get the gist. It follows similar announcements the developer, Olivier Battini, has made on NWS’ Facebook group about improvements; what interested me was the article writer recommends and links to the Dolphin Viewer, an easy and solid choice for connecting to OS or SL. DV doesn’t have…

Am I nuts? Probably. Here’s the deal: I have a surprisingly powerful Gateway SX2800-01 that I really like, except that its small case size made upgrading the lame video card really difficult. I ended up finding a low-profile, low-power card that fit, and it worked great for 2 1/2 years. For the record, it was a Galaxy GEForce GTX 9600 LP/LP, and its fan stopped spinning last week, and Iz had a sad since then. And it’s been discontinued, and I can’t figure out which low power, low profile card it was replaced with (or compares to it in size…

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? # @MickeyETC Yes, April Fool's: had fun with SL Newser's post.

My poor vidcard is probably toast. Le sigh. Hail, good and faithful friend that served so well and unexpectedly long. Sorry we never got around to drilling vent holes in the top of the case or ye might have lived longer to render virtual rosebuds (as ye may). I’m grabbing suggestions for good or ultimate system requirements for my next computer. The following places have helped me clarify what I’m looking for in a new computer – or at least what’s essential, and what would be nice to have. My partner Rock may be helping me to build a computer…
