We cant do much about it the inworld grid is down. I am shure that Lindens labs is doing on this lazy saturday all they humanly can to bring the grid back up. I had alot of things I wanted to take care of inworld yet I have to wait.

While I wait for the grid to come back up there is alot of things I needed to do outworld to get things going inworld. Hehehehhe no time is waisted after all :))))

I started browsing the Second Life forums and stumbled on the employment section. Woot woot!!! I had someone asking me where he could find employment in second life this week and I did'nt really knew where he could search... Well now I know better.

Watched a video from Thorley on editing transparent textures and I had questions on this item. Item now is resolved.

My hardisk needed alot of love and defragmenting my hardisk.

A good spyware runcheck would be good.

I am fooling around skin textures in Gimp also and testing some of my ideas and how I could use those ideas using Gimp. Made two test templates up to now. Good Good Good :)))

The other day discovered a free animation software called Blender I could use to create animations and maybe (I think) sculpted prims to build and complete some furniture items I started to make in my new housing unit I rented last week. Great stuff!!!!

My texture section in my pc was beginning to look like my inworld inventory rofl so before my textures and picture section goes behond control... I sorted out my stuff. Coming to this I still need alot of textures to complete some items in my residence so I need to do some texture browsing. Wow is there alot of textures to look at out there!!! I rather make a good browsing and select only what I need to complete my items since I dont want to retexture everything because I found something better and pay 10 lindens a texture to upload inworld.

I need a concept for an Item I have a project on building so I might be doing some research on the web while I wait for the grid to come back up.

I posted on second life forums and while writing I had an idea to get things going inworld so I will be testing this idea when the grid will come back on.

Bottom end, I dont think there is time waisted. It is sad that the grid is down and I have alot of simpathy for citizens that had things to build or create to get things going. Maybe it's a good thing to take a pause and take care of some stuff outworld to get things going inworld other wise we would just toss aside while being logged.

run down the street and knock on all the front doors and see if you can get inside before any one catches you

Right now I am scouring the forum looking for places to go to. Whether it be exploring, romance shopping whatever.

And yes my head shaking has come back. Hmmm maybe I need another rootbeer. Nah best not cause if SL comes back on I might just explode.

But seriously it has been interesting delving into the forum.

Since I didn't plan on going inworld much today anyway, i've been doing what I planned on doing. Household chores, with Forum Breaks. Now the baseball game is on, and chores are done. I'm good.

3 weeks down with a graphics card not compatible with sl will give you time to see what is out there..
trust me ..there is nothing out there and they all cost 20.00 or more to get a vip pass or whatever their main full access is called and they all are crap
