It’s been a tough month or two for the typist; currently she’s on her fourth “ergonomic” office chair seeking a more comfortable balance of chair height, monitor height, keyboard height, mouse distance. Her RL job now involves MUCH heavier keyboarding, and she’s got 2 “offices,” one for work in an otherwise uselessly small little room (euphemistically called a “nursery” but she scoffs at such useage). Her mousing arm has been getting pretty painful and she’s duly been working through the ergo guides provided by her company and trying to avoid seeing a doctor, because BOTHERATION. The RL work office has…

I haven’t been following the recent controversy over Linden Lab’s decision to change the terms of service (ToS) to prevent third-party virtual currency excnanges from selling (and more importantly, buying) Linden dollars (that’s $L to those of us inworld). I do know that this change has caused a lot of agita for those fortunate or hard-working enough to have a successful inworld business; people who are great content creators can make a small trickle of real world cash, and people who are REALLLY great content creators (like several people recently profiled in the Drax Files videos) actually make their real-world…

I’ve been using this Aesthete theme for years without much tweaking, but now one of the features I’d sort of been using to highlight products isn’t working. Maybe it’s a good time for a change; this theme doesn’t support post formats, and I could certainly use that for what I need to do. time to go theme shopping, maybe. Hey.

Animated folding MESH room divider screen adds classic style and modern flair to any room. Touch to fold screen to the side, touch again to open. The screen panels are one retexturable face, as are the wood frames and the hinges. Keep a backup copy if you retexture (remember to retexture the folded screen too). Here’s the way it looks folded: The screen is available here:

I’ve been absent lately from my shop and my group events, owing to a pesky problem with arm and shoulder pain (stupid Real World Problems(tm) anyway). But today I came back with a purpose – my friend Mistletoe opened the Festival of King Richard in Lionheart Ahadi – here’s the SLURL: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife//181/229/28 There’s storytelling and (I think) some music events planned – here’s Mist enjoying a tale: I managed to get my little booth set up with a few minutes to spare – fortunately most of my products currently can go in various eras. But I managed to quickly put…

Who’s the maker? It looks like Draxtor’s work (that looks like him in the goggles). I recognize a few content providers, artists, builders, and products (I have that one Wasabi Pills mesh hair with the side braid in red). Seems to me Linden Lab is finally taking Resident suggestions to heart in marketing SL: Make it look COOOL. Emphasize the CREATIVITY Show people DOING STUFF like building, dancing, and shooting ZOMBEHS Interestingly, this video does not have any dialogue – just pounding music, jump cuts, saturated colors, and some text on-screen: “Explore. Share. Create.” and the classic “Your World. Your…

I’m participating in an Antique hunt that starts on Friday – must check in with the organizer and make sure I’ve got all my stuffs in a row. Here’s what I’ve been working on – I will be adding something to go with it, probably a nice rug made from a new set of tapestry textures I got. It’s derived from the exquisite Duc du Berry’s “Les Tres Riches Heures” manuscript, using the largest images I could find from a copyright-free museum site. I had to work with the images carefully so that they lined up correctly, as the original…
