    Brushes with Greatness

    April 19, 2010 - By 

    I’ll be downloading some brushes from Obsidian Dawn shortly – it appears that they can be used with GIMP and she’s got some lovely ones for jewelry that can be used for my virtual creations. I’ll need to write a notecard to include with anything I end up making to sell on Second Life to give her credit – this post is really more of a memo to myself on that score. Obsidian Dawn Resources – Photoshop & GIMP Brushes, Illustrator Vectors, and more! These graphic design resources are free, but there are some limitations to how they can be…

    It’s Prad Pravithi’s totally awesome Second Life keyboard. Look at the big version, then read all the notes. Laugh, plotz, snort the beverage of your choice out your nose. My top choice: “Mute Talking Unborn Babies.” Second choice: “Purge/Lose/Sort Inventory.” And in fact, I would totally buy this keyboard if only it were available, because a one-button “rebake” or “log in as Alt 1/Alt 2” or “Random Outfit” action would be awesome.

    Finally Getting Things Done

    April 10, 2010 - By 

    … just uploaded a virtual wall fountain to XStreetSL, it’s about time I made something, rather than just sorting inventory and textures! Soothing water sounds, nice textures. And now, back to the Big Sort! @LC@ Rainbow Stained Glass Wall Fountain by Lelani Carver – Second Life XStreet SL Marketplace Rainbow Stained Glass Wall Fountain with scripted sounds on/off and also volume controls. You can reduce the sounds to 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 volume as well as mute by touching the fountain. Make a copy, take it apart, and learn how it works! Edit selected textures to make all full bright,…

    Scripty Stuff

    March 27, 2010 - By 

    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…

    Sorting Out A Virtual Spy

    March 22, 2010 - By 

    @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…

    One More New Thing

    March 15, 2010 - By 

    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.

Have fun, and don’t drink the yellow beer, DO drink the GREEN beer. Bright green party bead necklace to wear or give to friends. No shamrock, for those who are allergic!
