    Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? # @MickeyETC Yes, April Fool's: had fun with SL Newser's post. It's a Open Sim megaregion, see @MariaKorolov's blog re: New World Studio. # Messed around terraforming my OpenSim megaregion yesterday, should have watched @torley's vidtut FIRST. Now to fix #SL parcels! # So much to do. #SLMarketplace vendor setup, unfinished products galore. Where to start? Somewhere. #SecondLife http://t.co/Dpoj11pN # Plz RT @feliciaday @jedwhedon directed and wrote new @theguild song (like Avatar). http://t.co/nTq0STZQ http://t.co/yXEdBh6r # RT @Elviraafterthot What Will I Get Out of This Second Life? | Associated SL Press #foodforthought…

    Gather Ye 580GTXs Where Ye May: #SecondLife #Specs

    April 6, 2012 - By 

    My poor vidcard is probably toast. Le sigh. Hail, good and faithful friend that served so well and unexpectedly long. Sorry we never got around to drilling vent holes in the top of the case or ye might have lived longer to render virtual rosebuds (as ye may). I’m grabbing suggestions for good or ultimate system requirements for my next computer. The following places have helped me clarify what I’m looking for in a new computer – or at least what’s essential, and what would be nice to have. My partner Rock may be helping me to build a computer…

    Diva Canto Looks Towards HG 2.0 (Meanwhile, I Sank My Continents!)

    April 5, 2012 - By 

    While I faffed around the other day in my private virtual playground, sinking badly terraformed continents, Open Sim’s Diva Canto was thinking deeply on the future. And yesterday my graphics card appears to have cooked itself, so no terraforming in Second Life or Open Sim for me for a while. The fan isn’t spinning, so I will have to fallback on the original crap card. This will force me to do other things, while we figure out my next computer option. The future of Open Sim is coming, although the present looks and feels a bit like Second Life from…

    My Second Life LUsR Grid via Viewer V4.1.12

    April 2, 2012 - By 

    The shock-horror! The breaking news via Twitter today spread quickly. It’s horrible news for those who can’t or won’t upgrade from V1.23 based viewers; I’m lucky enough to be able to use mesh-enabled V3 versions. I had to see for myself; there’s not a lot of content there yet but TONS of free land. So I claimed this bit. Second Life LUsR Grid via Viewer V4.1.12, originally uploaded by Lelani Carver.

    Somehow even *I* managed to install New World Studio and load a couple of @LindaKellie 's OARs. Not public just yet… Need learn moar. # @AbelUndercity On the other hand, they're accurate about the airship avatars, though I've never seen anybody wear one. # @MorikoInshan Magic Boxes burning merrily? How did it go? # New game: #WhatIsThorThinking "Humans really ARE puny. I get that now." http://t.co/paYmFkV5 # @donttrythis Wait a minute, there, sir… Your stats have SPOILERS?

    So Far, Dhughan’s #SecondLifeMarketplace listing isn’t borked but needs update. #whatcouldpossiblygowrong

    March 31, 2012 - By 

    Unlike many Second Life merchants, neither Miss Lelani nor I have found problems with our Marketplace stores, listings, or images. However, both store pages need updates due to outdated SLurls and such, but the process of updating needs time, patience, and quiet. Mine is here, Lelani’s is there, unless it’s a web-cache-thingy problem, we’re not seeing anything wrong (there have been some pretty dire failures suffered by other merchants). Amused to see that her unscripted pet beds are apparently marked Mature Content by the Marketeplace, visible only once logged in, because apparently BED is synonymous with conjugal relations. How droll.…

    Dumb As A Box O’Hair

    Taken at Cafe Wellstone; I was wearing my new mesh hair and wondering how it looked to anyone not using a mesh-enabled viewer. My friend Nakaima Oh helpfully sent this along. Awesome! My hair and my mental state are in perfect synch! Dumb As A Box O’Hair, originally uploaded by Lelani Carver.

    Second Life: The First Hour Should Be Shared With A Friend Or They’re Never Coming Back

    March 18, 2012 - By 

    A few years ago I started a new user avatar for a published author for an appearance at Lackamas Hall Reading Room in Pini – sponsored by Jackson Street Books. During the process at that time, I passed a number of brand-new potential Residents who seemed unable to figure out how to get OUT of the orientation area or off the island. Many were pretty much like this guy: Inara Pey started a discussion about Linden Lab’s new Destination Islands (welcome areas for new users) that quickly got a lot of people talking. I posted a long comment only to…
