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. It's a Open Sim megaregion, see @MariaKorolov's blog re: New World Studio. # Messed around terraforming my OpenSim megaregion yesterday, should have watched @torley's vidtut FIRST. Now to fix #SL parcels! # So much to do. #SLMarketplace vendor setup, unfinished products galore. Where to start? Somewhere. #SecondLife http://t.co/Dpoj11pN # Plz RT @feliciaday @jedwhedon directed and wrote new @theguild song (like Avatar). http://t.co/nTq0STZQ http://t.co/yXEdBh6r # RT @Elviraafterthot What Will I Get Out of This Second Life? | Associated SL Press #foodforthought…

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…

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. Not public just yet… Need learn moar. # @AbelUndercity On the other hand, they're accurate about the airship avatars, though I've never seen anybody wear one. # @MorikoInshan Magic Boxes burning merrily? How did it go? # New game: #WhatIsThorThinking "Humans really ARE puny. I get that now." http://t.co/paYmFkV5 # @donttrythis Wait a minute, there, sir… Your stats have SPOILERS?

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…
