    Why I’m (Still) Not Buying Mesh Apparel: The Gospel According To @Ordinal Still Valid

    January 3, 2012 - By 

    The renowned builder and scripter Ordinal Malaprop posted about the Problem with Mesh back in September: Here, for instance, is a tie. It is a nice tie, but clearly floats a little way above my chest, and this is fairly obvious in person. “Oh well,” was my immediate reaction, “I will just resize it a little”. Well, one can’t do that. “Oh. Well, in that case, I will move it down a little on my body.” One can’t do that either. “Oh. Well, I will take it off then.” It seems to be extremely difficult to right-click and edit such…

    One Reason I’ll Update Imprudence: LindaKellie.com Free Stuff

    January 2, 2012 - By 

    I was going to delete Imprudence (and go with Firestorm as my sole alternative to the main Viewer), but decided to install whatever is the latest version instead. I’d forgotten the incredible trove of free Second Life textures, objects, and sculptmaps require Imprudence to upload and import. Drop by her website and donate via Paypal, she certainly deserves it! She gives these resources away for free, with full permissions. FREE ORIGINAL CREATIONS These are all my orginial creations. You can download these and use them in any opensim grid or in Second Life. All files are exported using the Imprudence…

    @ElrikMerlin Listening rather surreptitiously to Radio Riel at work. This tune is used in the Episcopal hymnal, rather different words… # @donttrythis Pork belly? To eat and not shoot, blow up, or leave to rot? Weird, but happy New Year! # @MoodyLoner Funny, was sure they wanted to take the country back to at least 1850. # @ElrikMerlin Ah well, it was hours ago now. Celtic tune, the title info said "Mr. P-something's" tune. Will try to ID later. # @ElrikMerlin It was Playford! I'll try to figure out which tune it was… I do know we sang it pretty…

    No Wonder I Wasn’t Getting Group Notices From Builders’ Brewery #SecondLife

    December 31, 2011 - By 

      BUILDER’S BREWERY MASS EJECTION On October 19, 2011, there was a mass ejection of nearly all of our Builder’s Brewery members. We went from 16,800+ members (the largest building help group in SL) down to 400, in the blink of an eye. It was a horrible and tragic loss. We Invite You to Rejoin   THE PERFECT STORM We’re not exactly sure what caused it. It seemed to have started during Linden Lab’s critical server software upgrade that day, along with rolling restarts that came with no warning countdown even. There was tremendous issues across the grid, including inability…

    ACK! Yes, I’m still around, and I missed my own rezday #SecondLife

    October 29, 2011 - By 

    I fell out of the world more than a month ago. Went on vacation with a rather antique Dell Inspiron laptop (oh, and my partner Rock as well!) and wasn’t able to log in using any of the various Second Life viewers at all. Then, wouldn’t you know it, all our favorite shows started up again, and some new ones started, and I was catching up on stuff via TiVo that I missed when I was inworld struggling with textures or animations or whatnot. I’ve been taking a long, long break from the kind of stress that had me up…
