My Sheeps, They Are Ded

Long story. It started with a Tweeter from Philip Linden, saying something rather tactless about tip jars:

Note to cafe owners: Don’t use an opaque tip box. People are sheep.

The next thing I know, the Church of SecondLieology sent me a herd of sheep, but they were dead on arrival.

I think.

What does this glowing, circular arrowy thingy do when I clicky-clicky??

Maybe I’d better ask the new guy.

Online profiles: A curiosity in #SecondLife

Yep, web-enabled profiles are here and have been for a while apparently. When I looked at mine just now, I realized I needed to fix some outdated stuff.

The land is still for sale, though, and my new project is progressing although RL commitments cut into building time. Prices have been reduced and it’s finally showing in search.

Also, I put out some freebies on both parcels – a silly Ceiling Cat T- shirt I made using a photo I took at last year’s Chicago W00tstock nerdfest. Drop by, pick one up, mock my dumb half-finished build, listen to the radio in the gazebo and change the stations to your heart’s content.

The shop is open though not a lot of stuff out: it’s next to the water tower.

Walking is hard. So is flying.
Crashing is surprisingly easy, however.

Some of my Tintafel land is for sale, a 512 and a 1024. I’ll still be building things there, but am emigrating to Steelhead St Helens.

Most interested in music, art, and other cultural offerings on SL, and dancing too. I’m also a SciFi geek. I was a Highlander fan, therefore I own many virtual swords…

Second Life land in Tintafel

512 Primlot on the West side of Tintafel

512 “Greenhouse” on the west side (contiguous with larger 1024 parcel)

Best for last:

Possible in Second Life: Leyat Propeller Cars

Leyat Propeller Car

This is just the kind of impractical yet endearingly retro design that would work well in Second Life as a scripted vehicle.

Before the world completely gave up on the notion of flying cars, manufacturer Leyat decided that we can fly without ever leaving the ground; all we need is an overpowered engine and a dangerously light chassis. Sporting an 8 horsepower radial plane engine and an over-sized wooden propeller, it took a while for Leyat to come up with a relatively safe design. Originally planned as a 3-wheeler, this idea was scrapped when the prototype crashed over, and over and over.
