Blue Mars looks pretty!!

..is it wrong that when I started looking at the Blue Mars shots that I almost wet myself with excitement at this shot of some virtual handbags? I think I’m beyond hope…..

Pillow talk in the Kitty & Jez household

Pillow talk in the Kitty & Jez household

So I retire to bed alongside my beloved last night-his book of choice being ‘The Making of Star Wars’, mine being the ‘Second Life Virtual Tourist Guide’.  As I snuggle under the duvet the git leans over and whispers lovingly, “Blue Mars is gonna whoop Second Life’s arse”. (What you thought he was going to say something romantic? LOL) Of course this made me a teensy weensy bit cross, so much so that it was tempting to let out a cheek wobbler whilst in a loving embrace, but I held fast.   I’ve just had a look, and Blue Mars does indeed look very good, and I wonder how the Lindens feel about this potential threat? What do you think?

Torley Dazzled!

Torley Dazzled!

Y’know, I’ve read some truly rotten stuff written about Torley over the months that I’ve been a resident in SL.  People wittering on about how he sold his soul to the devil when he converted into a Linden, blah blah blah. Utter nonsense if you ask me. The Lindens benefit immensely from having him on board, I think he’s a fantastic assett to the company. The main reason  I like Torley so much is because I adore the enthusiasm that he has for the platform that we use. Yes, SL can be a bugger sometimes but sheesh, it gets fixed eventually! Lag and getting kicked out are right pains in the butt and I’m the first to flap when that happens, but we live in an amazing creation and we should appreciate it for what it provides us with a heck of a lot more than we do.  Real life has it’s limitations just as much as Second Life does, and if SL is that much of an annoyance to you you can leave it.  Alas RL isn’t that simple!Anyway, I’ve detracted somewhat but Torely has written a fantastic piece on the official blog about the new Dazzle interface.  I knew bugger all about it until I saw Codie’s post on her Twitter, checked it out and found Torley’s post.  It looks pretty cool, and like he points out-aesthetics matter. A change is as good as a rest after all! 

Read his post here and enjoy, it’s extremely eloquent and I think if he arrived on my doorstep and with the same magniloquence and tried to sell me a timeshare I’d bite his arm off straightaway!

I’ve just wasted 5 hours of my life….

I’ve just wasted 5 hours of my life….

…sorting through my inventory.   God only knows why I decided it was a good idea, but I did and I’ve managed to get all my clothes and hair  in specific folders.  Got rid of some absolutely awful stuff in the process as well ( Note to all readers, just because something is free does NOT mean that it’s good!) and have renamed LOADS of items to enable easier identification. Feel very clever but my eyeballs hurt, my mouse-arm is sore and I’ve still got my objects folder to go through…

I have managed to get rid of about 3000 items though! So many duplicates…. Anyhoo, my inv is now nearer the 12k mark.  I can hear some of you saying ‘Only 12k? What is she moaning about?!’ but remember that is 12k of stuff you have to carry around with you..My next mission will be to box and store a lot of stuff that I don’t use at present.  I’m aiming for a max of 10000 items in my inventory.  Wish me luck!
