Good lord. It couldn’t have been a more rookie mistake – perms weren’t set right on an item that I recently sold. Fortunately, the purchaser contacted me to let me know. I assumed (incorrectly) that doing a global perms reset would fix it. Nope. Then I started looking for the problem in the wrong place – wasted time looking for the original textures and sculpt map. Nope. It was the plain old “Next owner” checkboxes on the first edit tab. WHAT? TOO SIMPLE! My problems and errors must be more complex than that! While futzing around (the typist insisted on…

Rock and I leave an actual RL tropical island later today. Why are we going back to winter again? Oh, right. Jobs. Home. Cat.

There’s treasure out there in the Steamlands waiting for you to discover it – at midnight SL time March 1, STEAM IX begins.

Look at this darling Steampunk Chameleon I found on Flickr! According to the terms of the license, it’s Attribution/Share-Alike, so thank you, Saundra, for this beautifully inspiring little piece, which exists in the real world. So this is what I have for the moment: It’s not the final version but it was enjoyable playing around with GIMP’s filters (mostly GIMPressionist/Line Art and Render/Difference Clouds.

Time for boycat Dinkies and male Tinies to have a decent walking stick with simple animations – so I started to adapt the Ivory Walking Stick, which is old enough to need some freshening up. I started by testing some nicer textures for the ivory, and setting it in a sort of cup-bezel with engraved silver fittings (I may play with materials a bit if they don’t add greatly to the land impact (LI). Then I resized it to the right length for a Dinkie or Tiny avatar, and got the pos/rot information with a script so as to update…
