Does size matter(Inventory) that is

If you open a calling card, the avatar's profile will open - bit quicker than using search.

I think it was originally sort of SL etiquette to offer or drop your calling card - a bit less than offering freindship, but still polite.

Don't get too excited. I really doubt this is much more than an urban myth of sorts. Right up there with flashing your headlights at a red light makes it turn green

I have some of these and they're great! Cute too, they look like those metal box containers you can buy at The Container Store. You can browse the contents and reclaim to inventory without opening the edit or contents. I have a couple in my home shoved into a little storage nook.

Since I started using these, my inventory stays right around 1,500k.

In RL I subscribe to the "6 month rule": If I haven't worn it in 6 months, I get rid of it. I try to do this with my SL closet too. If it's been in my inventory so long I have forgotten I had it - I pass it on to a needy newbie or just delete it.

Calling cards are also useful for group IMs. I took the calling cards of 3 of my friends, tossed them in a new folder and start an IM conference that way so we can chat no matter where we are in a store, or at an exploration sim etc. People also tend to do this to spam their entire friend list into one conference chat. I weed my calling cards out every once in a while.

My inventory is inching towards 17k again. I used to always keep it at 10k or under, but now its near impossible. I refuse to toss anything of value into a prim to store it, I've lost too much that way in the past. I used to keep my textures in a texture organizer, I need to find that again. Was an awesome way to keep that mess organized and I even used one for all my friends pictures and snapshots.

I hate calling cards. I delete delete delete them. As Oryx said, some people use them for contacts that aren't necessarily friends but that just seems like a nuisance to me. I just makes notes in their profiles.

You do have to keep at least one calling card in their inventory. I keep forgetting why, but it causes problems if you don't. I made the mistake of deleting them all once and I had some kind of problem contacting my friends. I had to delete a friend and add them back in to get one calling card to fix the problem so now I just always leave one in. As I said, I don't remember specifically what that problem was.

Start by cleaning out duplicate landmarks and unnecessary notecards and you'll be amazed how quickly you inventory drops.

I probably have less than 50 textures, but I might box them up and see if that makes a difference. And maybe I'll try to clear the excess LMs and calling cards also.

I found my alt with only 2000 items is a lot zippier in comabat then my main with 10,000, so I gave away and deleted till I got down to 7000 and it seams I have no problems logging in from Australia while people in USA are telling us SL is down

<shameless plug> And if you want to reorganise your inventory, I am selling over 100 prenamed empty folders you can drop your stuff into sorting, for only $20L, (7cents US), send me an IM and 20 Linden and I will send you a set. Yes they are just named empty folders in a sytem but saves a lot of typing and you can always customise or ad more if you need to.

I am pretty good at organizing and cleaning my inventory, but still I have problems finding things in it. So I have fantasies about the following enhancements to the search function in the inventory:

- prim search = would list objects according to the value you ask for; if you enter 3, then it returns a list of all objects that are 3 prims (could also have the option for entering a max and min value)

- user rights search = search for objects that are only trans / mod / copy, or all of them



/me wishes to be as creative at work today...

When rezzing ''object'' found in inventory, best to go to an area that does not allow scripts. The object, named object, may be one with a nasty griefing script you unknowingly pick up somewhere or accepted.

hi I feel like an angel now with only 10.000,although I am still reducing wildly.good last tip.At xmas I was looking for a star to top my tree.I trolled through inventory until I found Yellow Star,which was a freebie from somewhere.I rezzed this next to my tree and it was a yellow globe particle looking thing I went to place it and it turned into the planets of the solar system in proper orbit and size scale rotating round my plot.Took me 2 hours to clean it up.Beware
