Kookaburra! I'd forgotten he was sitting out here, especially since I usually have my sound turned way down, so I don't hear him laughing away. I don't have an old gum tree for him to sit in, either, so he's had to live on my shop's balcony. Oh, and I'm giving my LeLutka Simone an outing for a while...Maia was just too young for too long. Wonder when Peony will start growing wrinkles again...

I was at the best beach lastnight..I was so captivated by it and the waves and the color of the water and just everything..Then when it got dark,Omg they had northern lights there just lighting up the whole sky and so much room to surf I got so caught up that I was forgetting about taking pictures..I was home from work sick again last night and I bet I spent a good four or more hours there just enjoying the atmosphere.. I was on the board and in the water the whole time I was there.. Look at these waves! I had to watch for a little bit to see how they were doi

Subway ride...

Actually overdressed for the sim. I had to crop this picture to remove the naked guys private part.

Most of my shots are of the less-than-work-safe variety, but here's one that shouldn't get me banned shameless flickr plug

My alt showing off her favorite finds from WOH5 and new group gift skin from Stix! She at the Forum Cartel Hangout.

Back to our regular programming...

Further experiments with Black Dragon.?

I have an addiction with changing skins.

Saw this on Facebook and truly LOL - If you don't get it, research "Wile E. Coyote". The PC folks would probably disallow the cartoon these days because it is "too violent".

Checking out the stuff what Tati putted out

Your pics just get better and better! ❤️

I would say mesh. While I am glad I learned to make and texture mesh, and it makes SL look better, much of what made SL so attractive creatively was lost.

quietly observes how many "This will be the death of SL" controversies we've gotten through alright

This looks great! And yay for another convert! I find the Black Dragon solution to alpha channel overlap to be a little overzealous, and the blur can be a little too much for pics like this. What I started doing is taking two identical snaps (ctrl+alt+F to freeze the world), one with "alphas into depth" (one of the DoF checkbox options) on and one with it off, and then layering them with a 30-70% opacity in editing. It doesn't always work, especially when the hair is in front of plants, but can help add some depth to the hair while avoiding the "flickering" effect you can get with the op

Ending the third party exchanges for Linden dollars caused a lot of people problems and upset at the time. I know a few people that left over it because they can't use Paypal and had no way of purchasing Linden Dollars or cashing them out.

Feeling wistful..

Greetings! This thread has been locked. 1. No one can create a "Forum Account". 2. The only people who can post on the SL Community Forums are those who have created a Second Life Account. 3. Issues with Profile Search has nothing to do with the Forums. If you cannot find an SL Avatar on the web profiles page or by using in world search, it doesn't mean that the SL Account doesn't exist.

Walk away and don't go back. If there are HUDs involved, detach them. SL is all about what you want it to be. If you don't want to role play, then don't.

Imagine someone in a similar position to you; only having a vague idea of how all this works, very little actual experience or teaching but wants to explore and learn more. Now strip out every ounce of self-awareness, and replace it with complete arrogance and misplaced confidence. That's your average SL "master". A bunch of idiots that have watched too much 50 shades, and don't understand the difference between domination and abuse (hint: neither does anyone connected to that *****heap of a series). Be very wary who you "chain" yourself to, and always put your own happiness and health above t

Good morning! Happy peak of the week! Peace!

Skell is too modest to recommend his own blog, so I do it. http://www.virtualbloke.com/ Skell is in the inworld support group for the Catwa heads, and I learn a lot from reading his posts about the various heads. His Flickr is full of male looks that's a great fashion source for men in SL. https://www.flickr.com/photos/skelldagger/with/43653180242/

Prims exported as mesh and then dumped back into SL is ... a terrible idea. Make a rough item in SL, export that to blender, create your object in blender with the guide you have from SL. Blender takes some time to learn, just keep grinding those tutorials .. it will all come together. We all had to do this.

I'm gonna have to get that viewer..Is it on the 3rd party list? That picture looks amazing ETA: Well that one made me update our geforce drivers that we have been lazy about updating..hehehehe It seems to have a lot of the SL viewer things in it..A lot of it looks really nice..I love all the options.. For moving around all the time though I'll probably have to stay with Firestorm since I'm used to those controls and use black dragon for pictures.. It will be nice to have a viewer that is mainly for photography..

No need for a female skin to get your real life look, Eccose. If I were you I would demo Catwa's 'Victor' and 'Skell' Bento heads, as those have starting shapes that you'll be able to tweak using the face sliders to get very close to your real life look. If you don't want to spend L$5000 on a Bento head, then the Catwa basic 'Justin' head is fairly close as well, and only L$900, but it can only be stretched in four directions; there's no slider customisation. For skins I would look at Insol, who have brought out a couple of beautiful smooth and pale skins recently. Matching body appl

Some other premium membership benefits that don't get mentioned as frequently include an increased number of missed IMs before they cap, 60 group slots (which, for the shoppers among us, still isn't enough! ) instead of the 42 that basic accounts have, plus access to live support chat.

I'm not saying it's a good thing to assume every black person is exactly the same (and I don't think most people do), but the fact is that there ARE cultural differences and people do respond to those differences. To go back to my example of shopping in Walmart and chancing across a black woman clearly trying to choose a hair care product marketed to black women, I think if I commented on it she most likely would not welcome my comment. After all, what would I, as a white person, know about hair products for black women. Now I could say something like "pffft...so many choices of hair care

Haha! Glad you like you like the picnic table. I set some wine out too.

I remember a lot of what everyone has mentioned! The age verification, copybotting, the exodus to Zindra which I think coincided with the teen grid closing. I never noticed but the opening of SL to free accounts was a big upheaval apparently. I also recall a few smaller things like Last Call closing, or Gala getting knocked out and even the Sexgen beds becoming free.

There was a change to the terms of service a few years ago that got a lot of creators upset because it appeared to be Linden overreach claiming their IP rights. There was also the addition of skills regions for skills gaming.

I am not a football fan at all, but my husband is, and he has been a die-hard Vikings fan since he was junior high age. Living in what is broadly Forty-Niner or Raiders territory, we don't come across very many Vikings fans.
