    New Keyboard, What Is This You’re Typewrong? #SecondLife Problems

    February 26, 2023 - By 

    My fridge came with no-mod kitsch photos, so I covered them up with kitchen photos. DFS often provides the ability to resize the no-mod tools so you can fit them into smaller or larger spaces as needed. But you can’t change textures, or colors. This cute retro fridge was a Mother’s Day special item that I bought used (actually it’s a freezer used for making frozen desserts, drinks, and ice). I didn’t pay too much attention to the image on the very small vendor prim before I bought it, or I might have passed on it. It has very kitschy,…

    Shopping or Shenanigans?

    February 23, 2023 - By 

    This entire region of “black kite” is a huge, literally immersive art installation. A well known #SecondLife content creator has a shop at the end of one of the jettys… the rest of the region has… adult interaction areas that are very artful, not at all private, and rather clever. And the music is nice. A large version of this image may end up at Flickr later. I used a Windlight setting called “Incongruent Truths” because it seemed to fit the setting. black kite invites introspection. What is the meaning of my Second Life? Honestly, I just came here to…

    Sorting Out A Near Disaster in #SecondLife

    February 23, 2023 - By 

    It literally sorted itself out eventually. Most of the stuff showed up in the sorters that I put out, and some things sorted themselves back into the right folders. I was sweating there for a few hours, though. Oops. I accidentally dumped my entire inventory of no-copy DFS objects into a scripted sorting prim; more than 1500 objects went in. For most of them, I had picked up the “target sortboxes” so I put them back out. Tweddle Via: Lelani Carver’s Snapshots Feed

    I took a #SecondLife #Blender Class but Beq’s techy blog had the answers.

    February 23, 2023 - By 

    I took a class in #SecondLife last night on how to “mesh” an object created with SL’s inworld build tools and take it into #Blender to optimize it and clean it up to re-upload. The instructor is very nice but… she had no experience with the third-party viewers that can export your own created objects to a Collada file format that Blender can read. She only works with expensive scripted tools in the bog-standard Second Life viewer. She pretty much balked at my comment late in the class asking “why don’t we export using Firestorm or another viewer? It’s free.”…

    Yeah, About That Making My #SecondLife Simpler Thing…

    February 7, 2023 - By 

    Last week, I blogged about making my #SecondLife simpler, more organized, and spending more time in creative pursuits and less time on mindless virtual farming, tending, planting, harvesting, cooking…and so on. Over the last couple of weekends, and late into the night all this week, I went a little crazy with the “reorganizing” part and tore apart my virtual kitchen, which had been up in a skybox. I also reorganized my other Digital Farming System fields, animals, and tons of single-prim scripted sorting boxes. For some reason, I have this need to play with scripts that sort and then rezz…

    My Virtual Farming Life

    January 28, 2023 - By 

    The #SecondLife #DigitalFarmingSystems game, or lifestyle, starts out with a simple “kit.” You start with a cow, a bull, 2 dirt fields, hay seed, tomato seed, and a water well. The next thing you know, you’ve bought dozens of kinds of seeds, pigs, chickens, ducks, llamas, goats, gators, ostriches, 10 kinds of fruit trees, multiple kitchen tools and implements for processing what you produce, and hold at least 2 or 3 or MORE dozen fields of various kinds. The DFS people work hard to bring out new products and new recipes, and they also produce “specialty” items each month that…

    Need To Start Creating In #SecondLife Again

    January 11, 2023 - By 

    The last time I made anything new or created something myself in #SecondLife was February 2019 for an inworld hunt I had participated in for years. Then I got sucked into the inworld farming game (DFS) and spent all my time feeding, tending, planting, cooking, and photographing products for selling in the DFS markets. I could go on about the mini-economy that Digital Farming Systems has become, but my personal experience is that it’s just taking up too much time and prim usage, and marketing the stuff is stressful and profitless for me. I’m literally distilling my unwanted inventory down…
