Needed to figure out how to fix the hover or floating text that I use for some of my storage objects (specifically, something I call my “tansu” organizer. However, this didn’t really seem to solve my problem; the hover text is stubbornly too high above my prim. Ah well. LSL Wiki : llSetText The text will always be positioned to float straight up (parallel to the world’s Z-axis) from the prim’s center at a distance of half the prim’s Z scale plus some fixed offset. The float text uses the prims Z axis regardless of it?s rotation. This means that…

@kqthomson, AKA KeithThomson SecretSpy, is all set for his upcoming Second Life appearance on Monday, 22nd of March at Lacamas Reading Hall (6pm SLT/PDT). Through the miracle of multiple streaming conversations via a variety of aetheric tele-communication devices, KT was able to call me. Right, so that’s sorted. It’s a rugged Steampunk spy look, and the author approved his avatar’s appearance when I spoke with him last night in a dry-run appearance at Lacamas Reading Room with BookemJackson Streeter and Dano Bookmite. Thank GOD we got Skype running, I had to install it on the fly and figure out how…

I got on a roll yesterday and started playing around with a casual, craftsy necklace with various textures in my ever-growing inventory (OY! Yikes!). So here’s my next Second Life necklace, that’s just for fun. @LC@ Amethyst and Old Gold Necklace c/m/t (boxed) by Lelani Carver – Second Life XStreet SL Marketplace Amethyst and old gold beads with a matte finish (ie., no glow). This is a medium-length, casual necklace, with “lapidary” semi-precious stones.

Still learning how to make this stuff in Second Life, but starting to get the hang of it. Here’s a green and gold party necklace. I’ll soon start replicating necklaces my RL acquaintances are wearing, because they’re pretty, casual, and fun. @LC@ St Pattys Green and Gold Beaded Necklace (sales box) by Lelani Carver – Second Life XStreet SL Marketplace

Second Life Blogs: My House Is Missing – Got Milk Carton? I was in the process of moving things around and backing up my house yesterday (heard about asset server issues) and as I was taking the main building into inventory, it disappeared. It’s completely invisible, does not show up when I toggle Highlight Transparent , yet is not clickable or editable, and the walls and interior partitions are solid. The doors and windows were created by others and so they’re all still there and functional – which is good as I can’t walk through my invizibl wallz. The parcel…

Lelani who? Yes, yes, I’m back. Finally returned from my island home, with armfuls of flowers for lei-making and home decor, and some pictures of wildlife, and rather a lot of delicious smelling hair and skin products which unfortunately don’t translate well to the virtual world that is Second Life (although I may try to create a store for them here). Oh, and I got some fun hair ornaments, which I believe will translate very nicely, and have lots of ideas for jewelry, island-style. I wasn’t able to work much while in the islands, owing to a poor Internet connection…

I heard from several (not all) purchasers of some of my party necklaces that the permissions were not as I had advertised, and that they either wanted a modifiable version or a refund. I’m currently not near my “home” computer, using an older laptop that wheezes a bit when running Second Life, so as soon as I got back to the laptop, I messed with my products to ensure that they were definitely set with the right permissions so people could either modify them, or give them to friends. One Resident never got the corrected version, either – now that…

Not able to go inworld much these days – currently have a very slow Internet connection and don’t have access to home machine and GIMP. However, I’m gathering some textures while my typist is on vacation in Maui, you can be sure! Mostly they will be plant and flower textures, plus whatever else that is interesting catches my eye. Getting lots of ideas for necklaces, pottery, and other wearable art while browsing shops and craft stands, too. There’s beautiful work being done here by local artists – lots of fused glass, painted silk, antique beads, and big batik floral graphics…
