    @MoodyLoner Those damn fascist house gremlins! # @hbahimself I've got Picasa pretty organized, sorted everything into folders based on subject: trips taken, events, #SL groups, etc. # @hbahimself However I also use a Picasa2Flickr widget to make uploading to Flickr pretty painless! # Made a neko tail last night at KittyCatS in a class taught by Myrddin Janus. Evangelize the shoppers! Go forth and build! #SecondLife # @hbahimself Ah, but you can organize them in Picasa, and batch upload to Flickr with a plugin: http://is.gd/T6Qxz5 # @hbahimself Editing in Picasa is possible, though I use GIMP for anything more than…

    AT LAST: A new Steampunk flight-assist topper listed for #SecondLife

    July 4, 2011 - By 

    I’ve been wearing it enough – for months, actually, and my friend BookemJackson Streeter loves hers, so it’s not like I couldn’t go ahead and box it up for sale, right? Right!! At last!  Have fun flying around your favorite Second Life locations in the Steamlands or anywhere with this Flight Assist Topper. In an antique Western medicine-show style, with flexi feathers and rotating, golden gears. Haida Indian sunburst detail on the gears; now you can visit Steelhead or one of the other Western themed Steampunk sims in style.This hat was originally a gift in the STEAM 4 hunt but…

    Scaling Down: Something To Ponder

    June 25, 2011 - By 

    I’m using the celebrations at #SL8B as a way to get more socially active in Second Life; have to admit that it’s been occasionally exhilarating getting IMs from old friends and new friends saying “get over here!” or “OMG famous people at this party.” I had never actually seen a Linden with my own virtual eyes and real monitor until I went to the Thursday event, which featured an appearance but no speeches by Rodvik Linden and Lexie Linden. I now have an actual Linden bear, and yes, I know I could get a bunch more at “Bear Island” on…

    Careers | Linden Lab: Something Magical Happening?

    June 25, 2011 - By 

    Rodvik Linden: Stay On Target There’ve been good things happening at Second Life/Linden Labs lately; Viewer 2 is improving, new-ish CEO Rod Humble/Rodvik Linden is actively engaged and sometimes actually building and making stuffs, there’s renewed emphasis on customer support and recapturing the irrepressible magic. Yes, yes, yes, there are still lots of problems, lots of hurt feelings, lots of nay-sayers saying nay (no linky love). But there are trends to watch at Tateru Nino’s stats page that are interesting. And now, the Lab is hiring again, after years of layoff announcements and sad farewells to popular Lindens who had…

    Second Life: Repent ye Sinners, MESH is Coming

    June 24, 2011 - By 

    There’s always somebody who wants to keep doing it OLD SKOOL online. You rock, little Super Mario dude! There were several good-natured “protesters” at tonight’s #SL8B event, which featured an appearance by Rod Humble/Rodvik Linden, CEO of Second Life (but no speech). Meanwhile, there seemed to be some feeling about that people are a little nervous about the coming meshy apocalypse.

    The Magic and the Mousetrap and the Tiny Racing Snail at #SL8B

    June 23, 2011 - By 

    Mr Dhughan! You are a tiny but very fast snail with a top hat and wand! Magical! Mistletoe covered some aspects of what’s going on with this year’s #SL8B celebration – she’s systematically discussed some of the features of the best and weakest exhibits or builds. It’s a huge deal in Second Life, and there are a number of different sims with many 1024m plots. For all that, some builders achieve amazing things with a little, and some builders achieve… less with too much. I’m pretty much in agreement with Mist on her points, including: The Best Builds: Immediately answered…
