About to finish #SteamTheHunt under a pseudonymn 🙂 and vastly irritated at the way some shops messed with the rules #SecondLife # Specifically, adding multiple stages or hints, laying traps for those using advanced browser settings, or failing to provide a hint #SL # My biggest peeve: using so many scripts in their private sim that it crashes every time the camera moves, with extra hoops too. #SecondLife # 6 attempts later, I will now remove all scripted doo-dads and animations and try transporting via map reference . Relax, it's #secondlife # Using map teleports, minimizing lag, local transporters, and…

Once again Linden Labs’ shocking inattention to critical service issues threatens virtual life as we know it; the teleport system that bridges the SL-RL interface is STILL hopelessly borked. What’s more, it’s been logged, voted on, watched, discussed, and Twittered, and is yet to be worked on. Unacceptable. I had a similar experience today to this Resident’s problem: I’m still experiencing this issue in version 2.6. I just attempted to use it to teleport to work this morning however the same problem is preventing me from doing so. Now because of this problem I’m going to have to get out…

Dhughan here, it’s been a long few weeks since I last blogged. Sorry, busy, building, learning, fixing, tearing out hear prim by prim, blah blah blah! At long last, I have had a chance to complete STEAM 4: The Hunt as a hunter, not just as a creator. And now I have to clean out my inventory as I go. First, a short word to my fellow shop-owners and content-creators. Please, please, don’t make it so difficult to find the gear, or make it difficult to navigate around your place while searching for it, or set it up so…

During the course of making and decorating items for my shop in the STEAM hunt, I was struck by the story of Princess Ka’iulani of the Kingdom of Hawaii, who was deposed before she ever ruled by American business interests, and who died young after spending many years being educated in England. She was a proper Victorian lady of royal birth, and like the inestimable Isabella Bird, is an inspiration. In fact, she was known as the Peacock Princess, and so I have decided to include peacock feathers in my hunt gift, because God knows we all need a little…
