About to finish #SteamTheHunt under a pseudonymn 🙂 and vastly irritated at the way some shops messed with the rules #SecondLife # Specifically, adding multiple stages or hints, laying traps for those using advanced browser settings, or failing to provide a hint #SL # My biggest peeve: using so many scripts in their private sim that it crashes every time the camera moves, with extra hoops too. #SecondLife # 6 attempts later, I will now remove all scripted doo-dads and animations and try transporting via map reference . Relax, it's #secondlife # Using map teleports, minimizing lag, local transporters, and…

Once again Linden Labs’ shocking inattention to critical service issues threatens virtual life as we know it; the teleport system that bridges the SL-RL interface is STILL hopelessly borked. What’s more, it’s been logged, voted on, watched, discussed, and Twittered, and is yet to be worked on. Unacceptable. I had a similar experience today to this Resident’s problem: I’m still experiencing this issue in version 2.6. I just attempted to use it to teleport to work this morning however the same problem is preventing me from doing so. Now because of this problem I’m going to have to get out…

During the course of making and decorating items for my shop in the STEAM hunt, I was struck by the story of Princess Ka’iulani of the Kingdom of Hawaii, who was deposed before she ever ruled by American business interests, and who died young after spending many years being educated in England. She was a proper Victorian lady of royal birth, and like the inestimable Isabella Bird, is an inspiration. In fact, she was known as the Peacock Princess, and so I have decided to include peacock feathers in my hunt gift, because God knows we all need a little…

Creativ(ity) is an easy kill. A simple search of creativity killers yields a multitude of would be candidates: television, the Internet, inflexibility, too much flexibility, fear, lack of fear, goals, lack of goals, time pressure, too much time. The list is sizable. via Phasing Grace | Social Architectures and Virtual Worlds: A Penchant for Creativity – Knights and Nobles. Wow! Yes. I am a little behind on a commitment I made to myself and to others to create, create, create. And the killers are all listed above, but chiefly “fear, surprise, terror, and an almost ruthless INefficiency” which causes me…
