just ignore and let this one die

hello

OMG! 3Ring!!!!! New jammies! wooty woot. Girl, you have to organise a Forum PJ party. Maybe I can drag myself out of Shydom into a cartel get-together. I took these pics today and did that photoshop thing I do...



Again, all apologies for my lack of skills when it comes to replying and participating in the forum. Please understand that I admire all of you so. My words often fail me as I tend to be more of a visual communicator rather than verbal.

Oh crap... Pep? Please feel free to rip my grammar to shreds. You keep me in the shadows through your intimidation techniques. Just know I treasure you as much as I do all the threadies.

Well... I love 3Ring, Mo, Elora, Amara, Seven, Lexxi, Love, Brenda... oh Brenda... Malia, Marianne, MariAnne, Treasure, Rioko, Gabby, Allegria, Lil, and all the boys (Damien, Eli, Ghosty, Weston, Jer... oh the list goes on and on) And anyone else I may have left off... this thread is epic as you all know.

I shut up now.

I'm pretty new here too but that won't stop me from welcoming you.
You had me fooled... I figured you were a long time poster here.

My report on SLB6, or a tiny portion of it. (Sorry for the long post. I usually don't read them if they are this long )

I didn't want to insult the designers, but I was completely overwhelmed with the glow at first. I went into Preferences and turned off basic shaders. I could see a lot better then and it did look impressive.

Some complained of the terrible lag, but I remember when I first joined SL and tried to hang out at NCI Kuula using a marginal computer. The lag was so bad then, I had to frequently log out and clear my texture cache if anyone new came in wearing different clothes and my hard drive was burning itself up.

This lag was nothing like that, and I actually found it a bit nostalgic. I remembered to walk via just tapping at the keys. That allowed me to navigate without too much rubber- banding or running over people.

I looked at the Linden booth and it was pretty cool to see pictures of the real people behind the scenes. I did snatch a Linden Bear, but I don't know which are the rare ones. Some of the pictures I was frankly puzzled at as they had no caption, or the caption hadn't rezzed.

I moved on to a display about agoraphobia. It was a nice build - incredibly creepy in places. Made me worry a little about my own reclusive life style , but only a little.

From there I stumbled onto a build about children in SL. Of course there were a few forum folk's pictures there, but none was labeled. I recognized Mari, and I thought Pygar and possibly Toy, but I wasn't sure.

The display of 6 past virtual worlds and 6 projections for the future kept me fascinated with no bells and whistles. It was just a good readable 3d web page. I took in the whole thing. Then someone came by and started taking pictures of me at the exhibit, which kind of creeped me out a little. I don't know why.

Last I stumbled onto the Wikitecture exhibit. Those are the folks who won the Linden prize for ideas of what to do with virtual worlds. They have an interesting design by committee technique that is unique to the present day so I was quite interested and had a great tour guide, who would have kept me there all night if I hadn't forced the issue by thanking him and teleporting home. In truth I wish I could have stayed longer.

Glow and lag notwithstanding, I'll definitely be going back. There is a LOT to see.


Good night to anyone left awake. May you have utopian dreams.

Well... it *is* my photo of M Linden, from the other day in Mosh, and I recall you mentioning yer face in it to be before. I think it's a fairly nice piccie of ya.

They used (with permission) many photos I have taken of Linden Lab staff members over the years within their display. I also did a sizable number of the photos on Teagan's refridgerator in the display.

I wonder if I should put a LM to my build out as a group notice. Hmm...

Yay! Eli's gonna stalk Rhonda. Now I can get some sleep.

BTW, I am slowly making this place home and stepping away from SLU for various reasons.

I have always felt the best way to join a group is to just show up and act like you belong there; in a few days you will.
So, this is me acting like I belong here

/me waves.

I will keep repeating until it gets through that it isn't the accuracy of grammar that matters, but the commitment to presenting sentiments to the best of one's ability, rather than insulting readers by not trying very hard.

Morning, everybody!

3Ring's jammies:

Here you go 3, only one tiara actually fit and didn't leave me hairless. I look deformed in this pic...

If you like you can glare at me when Rio's not around.

Pep (Post more vanity portraits and squeal with joy at everyone else's and you will fit right in. )

honey, you do NOT look deformed. you are gorgeous!

after i sent those to you, i tried some all. they are modifiable, so if you make them full bright they look better (and one just needed to be trashed LOL)

Was it Hunter Thompson?

/me ties you to chair to make you feel at home.

this statement implies that you assume to know everyone's intentions and skill levels. you do not. honestly Pep, i would love to be corrected with RL stuffs because i am in the business of speaking and writing properly in that realm. here, i can relax and just speak easy and even silly. however, approach is everything and will dictate how you are received. have you considered that?

Pep (Anyone that wants to take up any cudgels regarding my attitude please do it in *my* thread not here.)

@Eli


/me raises an eyebrow.
I am usually the one doing the tieing but thank you for the ropes

I shouldn't say, because the person who told me was an EXTRAORDINARY liar. I mean, he used to make up the most amazing stories about people we knew. It was always embarrassing to be caught out.

Anyway, it was Anthony Burgess. But remember, it could be all hogwash.

@Brenda,
Would it sound callous if I said that any changes to the official forums that are immanent means that in 3 years something *might* happen?

Having listened to a ton of books on CD, it doesn't bother me like it used to, but I agree, if the main character is female, I'd like to hear a woman read it. I know it would be cost prohibitive, but it would be great to have multiple readers to cover a range of characters.
