Ponderings...

I was inspired by Dyami Jameson and Alicia Chenaux to write down some of my thoughts today. What has been on my mind lately?


1) We have a bathroom in our SL house -- a huge one with a beautiful tub and shower and His & Hers towels -- but we hardly ever use it. We need to bathe more, I think.

2) The learning curve for SL is extreme for some people. Like crazy extreme -- you are wearing a box on your head one day and the next day you are writing scripts and are deeply involved in a Star Wars/Gor RP.

3) Star Wars / Gor RP? (Seriously it exists! I saw a sign in a silk store!)

4) I am a prim whore when it comes to food. I think it is adorable and will spare no prim to make a Second Life buffet table look as cute as a button.

5) I had almost forgotten what lag was until I went to Burning Life! (Selling that kidney to buy my new PC was totally worth it!)

6) I love crowds in SL and I think that why I have learned to like Plurk -- it is like finding crowds of avatars to play with without the sex clubs or the lag.

7) How sad is it that I do not feel "cool" enough to go to the Seven Ultra Lounge?

8) My friend Margo has a terrible problem with the new SL client. It makes glitch pants (that are supposed to be short for wearing under short dresses and skirts) look long so they cover her entire leg. This is the oddest thing for the new client to do. Do any of you have the same issue?

ETA: One of my blog readers, Fiona Whiteberry, sent me a possible fix for this issue! Go to the Advanced menu > Rendering> Features then uncheck Palletized Texture. Then, rebake your avatar textures by pressing Control-Alt-R. Fiona that said if it doesn't work the first time, try again and it should do it. You may have to repeat these steps if it happens again.

9) Why do some designers insist on redoing their stores all of the time? There was one store that was an absolute favorite of mine and I thought the layout was perfect. They changed it and it makes it impossible to find things, the layout makes their merchandise look less appealing and I rarely, if ever, shop there anymore.

10) What is the kindest way to tell someone that they really, really need to adjust their hair?

  1. I love the idea of the bathroom for very good reasons, well at least the tub and shower. The loft we're in now a bathroom just wouldn't work, so we rezzed the hot tub that I've had for awhile. We used to have it out, but never used it. A couple of weeks ago we discovered what we had been missing out on. We were in there so long, when I finally got out, I was all wrinkled up.

  2. I just went to the Jira this morning and filled out a ticket and added a picture for the clothing problem. But this fix worked! Brilliant people on SL, I swear! How DO they DO it?

  3. Oh, you're not alone on the Seven thing. I absolutely do not feel cool enough to go there! One night we'll have to get a group together who also don't feel cool enough to go there and just spend the money to go and check it out. Safety in numbers!!

  4. Again, thank you Tym, and Fiona!, for the fix! You do have to do it each time you log in, but it's better than their suggestion of going back to an older version of my driver. And Tym!!! you, a prim whore!?? lol you are so cute!

  6. Yay you're blogging again! I was starting to have withdrawals :/

    I've so lost inspiration for my blog. I may try to do what you have and write whatever's on my mind.

    I don't think you're sad for not feeling cool enough to go to Seven Ultra Lounge. After all the stuff I'd read, I wasn't sure if I'd like it there either. However, I've been wanting to have more fun and meet new people in SL and the idea of a club with no hoo'ing, howling, gestures, blingtards or DJs begging for tips appealed to me, so I went there one night, and now I'm hooked! I don't understand all the bad press that club gets. The music is fab, the staff are friendly and people actually have interesting conversations there. I'd love to see you and Jerremy there sometime :D

  7. I like having a tub big enough for 2 in RL and SL. The MAJOR benefit to the SL tub is that I don't have to clean it. Comet dries out my hands.

    We went to Seven Ultra Lounge one night. It was fun, and it's a good idea, but we didn't get hooked. You need to try it.

  8. I absolutley agree with you on points 5, 7 and 9. And about the hair... try with "I found a new amazing hair store, why don't we go and change our style?"
