Free Accounts being limited? Lies
June 16th, 2008 by admin
For anyone who believes that when LL limited the free accounts to put priority logins on premiums, read this:
Really the free accounts in SL have had it VERY nice, more so than most places like Active Worlds, Hellgate or Anarchy Online, where the difference between free and paid is worlds away, in Second Life, the difference is minor. This alleged, temporary and rare event (so rare that there is debate as to whether it actually exists, because apparently not many people noticed it), is about the worst treatment free accounts have gotten in all this time. But they’re allowed to go to the same places, allowed to wear whatever they want, attach as much as they want, hold as much as they want in their inventory, they can have land by renting, and for the most part they’re treated the same as premium accounts when it comes to preference and general resource use. Really this is where I see this indignation of “We deserve better treatment!” as coming from, because you’ve been spoiled by LL giving you wonderful treatment. In Active Worlds (an early precedent to Second Life), free account users could only wear one of two outfits (male and female tourist), were restricted to only certain worlds, and their builds were public mod so anyone could delete them or change them if they chose. So before you start complaining about being treated so poorly, recognize that you could have it MUCH worse, if it were up to me, free accounts would be much much more limited.
Crisis
May 10th, 2008 by admin
I am under a RL crisis. I have no job. I am under threat of having to move somewhere else as I am told that my step-mum was having an affair and my dad is having a divorce. He is going to sell the house and I will have to move with him to Birmingham or somewhere into a flat. I hope I can bring any belongings.
My life is screwed up enough as it is as I have crappy grades and really hardly any qualifications that I can show, since employers in the UK only care about bits of paper than real skill, so I am having a lot of trouble getting myself a job.
I doubt I will be able to come online for a very long extended while.
However productive I am, Life sucks.
Giving back what was given to me
May 7th, 2008 by admin
The LSL wiki and portal have both been awesome resources most critical to my learning of LSL. So I am going to give back what was given me with an incredible useful library of geometric functions, one of my many script gems of my personal aScripts project of creating the most extensive library of advanced scripts from many subjects and areas.
Selling Cubitar and Spheritar

A bit late to post this but I have been selling my most awesome avatars and if I get a good response of demand and feedback I will make much more and far more better avatars.
Going to put up some pictures here soon and upload a video of my av transformations onto YouTube.
EDIT: Added cubitar picture here, next the video.
Custom Dazzle Skin
April 16th, 2008 by admin
Hullo,
Got annoyed at Dazzle’s blinding skin, so I made a variation, a basic hack at trying to reimplement the basic dark colours of the old clients. It ended up looking really awesome with the new blue icon images.
Just simply download it, unpack it into
C:\Program Files\SecondLifeReleaseCandidate\app_settings

Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
I pushed the button on this, and it was for about 15 minutes. I had no idea that that was the message it was giving people. The database was running hot because some connections had hung while holding a lock (this is getting fixed with very high priority) and I had to make a call whether to lock everyone out or just some people. I decided to just lock out some people.
Whether or not someone has paid us money on a given account turns out to be a crappy metric for whether or not to lock them out. This won’t be happening again. I certainly had no intention of insulting people, and seeing what the message says I don’t blame anyone for feeling insulted and like we don’t love them.
