  1. I haven't been to the pool yet but are there food and drink dispensers there?  I think food items are socially fun and I love buying food/drink items with the feature to hand out things.  I've been so busy decorating that I haven't looked around and seen if there are rezzers for boats, bikes etc.  Things that make public places more interactive.

    Talk about random, wow.

    I just came back to my laptop after making coffee, very leisurely....I had the auto-responder running at 90 second intervals. I had not heard any chime, but I was in the kitchen, with a steaming pot of water, conversation, radio....

    When I came back and found the Land tab (I have dozens of tabs open in various browsers, but only one Land tab), there was a Bellisserian house already claimed?? I blinked, but I didn't hesitate, and clicked the teeny tiny Agree box, just in case it wasn't a fluke...and boom, I won a Traditonal house! It's near the water but not really a view of it. It's surely not a houseboat, but it's an address, and I'm one street behind the street with the water and boathouse view of an inner harbor.

    I'm going to play with the designs, but I might not keep it. I think it's a throwback but how it landed in my browser as claimed defies logic. When I walked away, I was pretty sure it was just the usual Meadowbrook view. I had only checked the timer interval before I walked away...

    All I can say, is yes, be patient. One day a Bellisserian address might show up in the queue, just for you.  It might not be the houseboat of my dreams, but it literally fell out of the sky for me!

     

    Congratulations!  I'm trying to figure out how to set up the auto refresh correctly.  How do you get it to run at 90 second intervals?

  3. At the end of the day, if your neighbor goes out and buys the same furniture that you have, it means that the creator of that furniture makes more money and has gained a new buyer.  For all the hard work that creators put into making Second Life a more beautiful place, they deserve all the praise and earnings that they can get.  So I wouldn’t look at it as an insult, but as another contribution to the creators of SL.  Without the creators, we would all be sitting on rocks, naked lol.  I could care less if I had 10 neighbors who had the same furniture as I did.  I would consider it a compliment and more support for my favorite content creators.  That’s a total yay in my book.

    http://treet.tv/shows/happy-hunting

    On Friday, March 2nd at 3pm PST (and SLT), join us for the broadcast of episode #8 of Happy Hunting! and the chance to see two exciting hunt creators in the treet.tv studio, on the Garden of Dreams sim.

    On the show we have Evelyn Hartshon of Sleeping Koala, who has been organising The Unknown Hunts since August 2010. Her new Hunt is – the Fresh Unknown Hunt (which runs from March 1st – March 31st).

    She'll be talking about the theme behind the Unknown Hunts - which give people a chance to explore new stores and locations they may never have visited before.  To do this, the stores that participate in a hunt will be ones that that opened during a specific time scale, usually a few months prior to the set hunt date, to give new stores a chance to reach out to the hunt community and find new fans.

    And we're also joined by Resje.Bailey of Fire Beach, of the Nature's Hunts. The theme of her latest Hunt is Nature's Hunt 3: My Wish is Music - 2 Year Anniversary Hunt - and it's all about celebrations and music!

    This is an extra festive hunt, running from 3rd - 31st March with Second Life live musicians offering a CD of their music as hunt gifts - and there will be live music concerts during the hunt at Fire Sim and Fire Bay!  This is going to be a great way to hunt for unusual hunt gifts ... and to discover some awesome musicians at the same time!

    Don’t forget to watch the Where In The World Is MarkTwain Whitevideo segment. You will get to see the reveal from the last video, which will then lead into the current contest video. If you enjoy MarkTwain White’s videos,  why not IM him inworld and let him know?

    Frequency Picnic, our intrepid Hunt News Reporter shows off some terrific hunt gifts - just so you, our viewers, can see just a little of what is out there in the various hunts going on right now.

    Join us at 2pm SLT today, Sunday 12th February for the first showing of a whole new Metaverse Arts, at our beautiful studio at The Labyrinth sim in Avalon. Note that this is a new location – we’ve moved into the sky and to a whole new studio!

    And the studio isn't the only new element of the show as we have a new host too - Gwen Carillon! In this first show. Gwen will be talking to the popular Australian artist Glyph Graves, who works in real life and Second Life to great acclaim - and has also created amazing cross-over artworks that draw on both realities.

    There will also be details of our Art Gallery of the month - so come and join us for our showing at 2pm today!

    Or – if you can’t attend in person – tune in at 2pm SLT on Sunday for the live show on http://treet.tv/live – where you can now chat with other audience members and even some of the participants during the show – or catch it later in the week on our shows page on the Treet.tv web site at http://treet.tv/shows/metaverse-arts - our very own version of the iPlayer!

    Following a pause over the winter holidays, Metaverse Arts, the show broadcast on Treet TV about art and artists in virtual worlds, is coming back with a new studio, a new format—and a new presenter, the popular artist, DJ and designer, Gwen Carillon!

    Tricia Aferdita, our original presenter, continues to be involved with the show, but, as she explains, “After thinking long and hard about the number of projects I am involved in within Second Life, I realized that if I didn’t let something go, the quality of each one of them was going to suffer. I treasure the work I put into creating Metaverse Arts and am grateful for its surprising success and growing fan base.”

    At the same time she has been working on Metaverse Arts, she has continued to manage an estate, run her own art gallery, write for Prim Perfect magazine, and still somehow fit in real life work, writing, and art! So when she needed to consider what aspect of her Second Life she needed to let go of, television production really has the least in common with her real life work and goals.

    “It was not an easy decision to make,” Tricia says. “I love the concept of the program and seeing an episode all come together, but I feel that I cannot put the quality amount of time into it that it needs to continue to be a success.”

    But she is delighted with the new plans. “I am thrilled that Gwen Carillon is going to step up to the project. I think that her personality is well suited to the style and vision that I had for the show. We chatted for quite a while about the programming and both have similar visions for what the show can accomplish and the kinds of subjects we’d like to see covered.”

    And Tricia won’t be disappearing altogether! “I will continue to work with Gwen and the production staff as a consulting producer and perhaps occasionally guest host,” she explains. “I wish Gwen the best of success and hope that everyone will continue to remain a fan of the show and support its continued success. And special thanks to all the guests and fans of Metaverse Arts; you have made it a fun year and a half!”

    Gwen is well known across the grid as founder of the Content Creators Association and the owner of the fabulous Elements in Design, with its amazing range of furniture, jewelery and art works. More recently, she has launched her own hugely successful clothing range, Gwen Carillon Designs. Gwen’s art has been featured in many Second Life venues and is currently on exhibit at the Aho Museum, which is part of the New Media Consortium.

    When accepting the host position for Metaverse Arts, Gwen said, “Are you sure that you want me?” But it’s not hard to understand why we wanted her! Gwen feels strongly about promoting art and artists in the metaverse. “Art is a universal form of communication. It allows us to speak to one another in ways that go beyond conventional language. What better venue for artists, than the melting pot of the Metaverse? As artists, we are on the front line.”

    Gwen brings to the Metaverse Arts team not only her strong background and passion in art but also her experience in the radio industry. Gwen is thrilled that Tricia Aferdita will continue to work closely with the MVA team. “Tricia has been the beating heart of Metaverse Arts. Her experience, talent, and expertise have made the show shine. I’m so glad that she will be able to stay involved! I will do my best to follow her example. Hopefully, I won’t break her show! I’m looking forward to working with such a great group of people.”

    Howdy Colter is continuing as cameraman and editor of the show, and Saffia Widdershins remains as Executive Producer, but joining the show is Angie Mornington as Director. Angie is, of course, well-known for her role as Host and Producer of Fabulous Fashion on Treet.TV, but since then she has become involved behind the scenes, among other things directing Happy Hunting! She also has her own furniture store, Angie’s Home Interiors.

    “I am excited about directing Metaverse Arts,” Angie says. “It will give me a chance to learn about the art community in Second Life. Gwen will be fantastic as host and I think this show will be a great success.”

    updated-mva-studio-pics.jpg

    The new set was a collaboration between Angie and Gwen while the new theme music – called “Curtain Call” - is by Torley Linden.

    “I am very excited about the new direction,” says Saffia. “I’m very much looking forward to seeing where Gwen will be taking the show—and, of course, seeing and learning more about fabulous Second Life artists!”

    The first show will be broadcast early in February when the guest will be Glyph Graves—but you’ll have to watch the show to find out what the featured gallery will be!

  11. I am passing on a statement that was written in response to this thread:

    I thought this would be over by now.  Having spent years being the center of ridicule, people pointing and laughing at me, being the butt of horrible 80's jokes.  And yet here you are sir, opening the door to a sea of nightmares that I have tried so hard to keep shut.  Well this time I shall respond.

    Firstly, I'd like to make it clear:  I AM A CODPIECE AND I AM PROUD!   

    Most of you are too ignorant to know that the Codpiece dates back to royalty. That's right, ROYALTY!!  I will have you know that my ancestors have adorned the crotches of some of the most important men in the history of the world!  My great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was the official Royal Codpiece for Henry VIII. 

    Times have changed and while I have never had the honor of gracing a royal crotch, I am proud to say that I was literally at the forefront of virtual history.  No other codpiece can make that claim!  

    Finally, I want to go on record and state that the man that I adorned did NOT sire your children!  I was with him at all times and I can testify if I have to. So please cease and desist with your lies, and use your energy to find the true father/mother/furry/vampire/dragon/robot and hold them responsible for your children!

     

    Sincerely,

    Disco L. Codpiece III

    Executive Director,

    The Royal House of Codpieces

  12. Congrats on your new blog, and there is lots of great advice here.

    I'd like to recommend some quality posemakers that you can check out. There are a lot of old distorted poses still circulating in SL that really need to die a quick death.

     

    1. LAP (Long Awkward Pose) by Dove Swanson. I have been using her poses for years and she is one of the best.

    Good Luck!


     

  13. Facelights really need to die a quick death. There is nothing more ridulous than seeing someone tp into a store with their face surrounded by annoying facelilghts. They simply are not needed. As the poster above me stated, use your windlights. Learn how to tweak your SL settings to get the light you need.  

    There are several fashion bloggers that have created windlight settings that work wonders for photography.

    Here's one of my favorite bloggers, she has instructions on how to install more windlight settings

    http://strawberrysingh.com/tutorials/windlight-settings/

     

    She also provides links to other fashion blogs with even more windlight settings.
