    Rolling, Rolling, Restarts Next Week

    Time was, I didn’t pay much attention to most of what SecondLife.com’s official announcements said, but I’m starting to take an interest. Especially now since the new CEO’s Twitter account AND parody Twitter accounts seem to be following me. It seems courteous to pay more attention and perhaps poke more fun. I’m a proud member of the Brotherhood (and Sister) of Marginally Competent Builders. Most of this makes no sense to me, a very damn casual user. But the rolling restarts look like they’ll be LOTS of fun. And since I’m now paying for Search and not seeing my stuff…

    Resist Our Robot Overlords! Price Reduced On Virtual Land #SL

    I’d just like to say that some robots are very nice people and quite funny. But the landbot ones that scoop up your land when you set the price to some crazy low price by mistake are a bit of  a nuisance. Heh, yes, I have a horror of landbots. I used to live next to a 16m parcel that had a daily visit from a mysterious Puppet person. I realize they perform a useful function, but they’re creepy. I’ve just reduced the price on the 512 lot to $L2250, and the 1024 lot to $L4500. Reasonably entertaining offers will…

    @MoodyLoner Dont know about Nook, but like the Kindle app for the iPad. # What are all these "Daily is out!" tweets? Is it a Lists thing? # And besides that, good morning!

    Selling Parcels In Tintafel UPDATE: 1 Down, 2 To Go

    I’ve listed the following parcels for sale but of course it takes Search forever to register them as such – and I reduced the price on the first one, which of course is still showing at the original price on the big map. Now I see why so many SLoggers complain about search, in my dim and vaguely informed way. Current prices are set for $L2500 for the 512 parcels and $L5000 for the 1024 but I’m totally open to offers. I just didn’t want them to sell off to bots before some of my neighbors and friends had a…

    Another Parcel For Sale, More Coming

    I hope some more of my Tintafel neighbors might like some primlots; I’ve sold one to the photographer across the way already. The next one is priced to prevent botting, but anybody interested should contact me inworld to talk a little virtual turkey. I’m posting via aetheric iMarconi at the moment, but the slurl is: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tintafel/215/210/100/?title=Tintafel%20Grassland%201%20%24L3000&msg=You%20can%20never%20have%20enough%20prims At least one other neighbor is actively creating; it’s a shame I’m moving on just as someone interesting is working on a fun project involving SHARKS ZOMG etc. etc. She had them swimming around her house yesterday. I’m probably going to keep a smaller…

    Housekeeping

    It’s been a good few months since I did anything productive around my mainland holdings. I finally did some tidying up, and spent some time thinking about what I’d like to do next, and what my goals might be for accomplishing that. I will probably be selling off some of my mainland holdings and throw in my lot with the excellent folks in Steelhead; they are a terribly creative bunch when it comes to home and store builds, air armadas, naval junks, and what-not. My plans are up in the air, though; I will have to give matters serious thought.…

    Needed my awesome amplified, Torley comes through again

    This is so helpful to me in my current “blocked” condition. Most of these entities are in my head, or I fear that I could turn into one of them. an artist’s job is to make art So keep creating. Can you relate? “There will always be trolls, haters, critics, copiers, feedback both good and bad, and the artist must always express themselves in spite of this, to take in what is useful to them, let the rest go, and not get caught up in their own negativity.” via Torley amplifies your awesome. • So keep creating..
