Random thought for the day: (no my horn attraction doesn't count) If Yosef is my stalker and I'm his does that mean we just chase each other around not getting anywhere?
It does seem that way lately :(

You can't tell from that pic, but Lexxi is topless. And yes, she is incredibly HAWT!

9.9 Trout rating ... I was pretty sure she was topless in the pic.

Just to let you know that despite the business featured being based in Milton Keynes, it isn't me.

Anyone recall how to record audio streams? There is some Winamp method, but I can't find it.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Wow, I have never seen it look like that before.
If I were going to take a wild guess, I would say they have on purple socks. I have seen weird triangle flaps hanging down below the pants cuffs which is some quirk with the avatar mesh. Set the pants length to 99 and problem goes away. This *might* be a version of that glitch, but like I said, it's only a guess.
Aaarrgh! Yes indeed it might. I was so sure my pants didn't have that problem that I didn't even check the length. That and the fact that I've never seen it look like this, I guess.
But indeed those pants were somehow set to 100. I haven't heard back from the customer whether getting replacement pants fixed the problem. But it wasn't anything to do with his grahics because I took that picture and apparently he was seeing it the same way. Thanks for your help, Yoseph.

I've had no end of trouble with clothing textures recently, regardless of viewer used.

First it started on the shirt layer...sleeves and torso were always full length, even on shirts supposed to have rolled sleeves.

Clearing caches, baking textures, copying skins, and such seemed to fix it.

But now, shoe textures (ok..shoe bases with prim shoes) are having their color travel all the way up to my waist, covering any underwear layer that might be there. It's really annoying when I am trying to wear a tucked in shirt, that has the bottom part on the underwear layer.

I'm not sure how to fix it, but maybe my problems and your client's are related.
It's all pretty wonky alright. I wish they would just give us decent avatar meshes.

OK, the issue is that nvidia stopped supporting palletized textures (whatever the hell that is). The result is what you see. This will hold for every client based on the non-RC code. So all of the third party clients are affected too.

As I said, you can turn it off in the debug menu, though you have to do it every time you start the client. Personally I'd rather do this for now and wait until the RC is a stable release which gets the cool viewer (or your viewer of choice) treatment, over upgrading to the slow RC crashing hell.
It's hard to keep up with all this stuff.

Just a quick note about the nvidia graphics issue I mentioned. That exact thing happened to me. I had some clothing which didn't render correctly due to the the bug, and Lexxi saw it the same way I did (despite her not having the driver problem herself). I think the composed textures are created by the avatar's client, sent back to the sim, and distributed to the other avatars. Could be wrong.

The avatar layers are baked on your computer, so other people do see the problem as well.

Interesting. I think I may have heard something about that before. I just updated my Nvidia driver a couple of days ago to one that Chosen Few recommended in another thread. I think it made the picture a bit better.

Not sure about Winamp, but I found this:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10031813-49.html
The software used is Free Recorder and seems to be reccommended from several sources. I have no direct experience with this, however.

Thanks for confirming it. It does explain a lot of the problems I see in SL while wandering around.

OK- for you paranoid types- I just created a Facebook account to continue spamming the Internet with Talon Faire stuff in the hope of gathering sales,,,etc,- OK- first thing I get is - these people on your email have face book accounts- want to add them as friends? OK-one of the people on my contact list is an SLer I no longer have any contact with but I know what they look like because they posted a pic hereabouts- thing is- if I were a crazy stalker type- I now have her name, an idea of where abouts etc- RL- and could possibly go about finding them- fortunately I am neither deranged nor interested in stalking but the point is- make sure your rl name is not listed as your email addy if these things matter to you- PSA of the Day... thank you, now back to your Thread..

(Shh... I am trying to hide behind this cactus here- if i am very quiet you may not notice me...)

OK- some more insanity from the pages of Facebook, this is from an anti-SL group:
"Secondlife.com, was created to offer a virtual life to people. The thing is that no one has understood yet that this site isolates the users from REAL life, putting them into a trip of a prisoned virtual reality. Turns people into zombies and you live a life "of your dreams" that can never be achieved. It also put people in such a "trip" which makes them compuaholics with no reason.
One more weapon in the hands of New World Order that doesn't want people to realize where they live and what is going to happen.

SHUT SECONDLIFE.COM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I don't know about you folks- but I am a damn happy zombie that does not want nor require salvation.
