LL fails during the sign-up process to emphasise the importance of choosing a username that you are happy for others to see and on occasion to address you by. Thank you Ian. This, exactly. I'd read quite a bit about SL before signing up last December, I'd hoped to have some clue as to what I was getting myself into. During the sign-up process, when no "pick your last name" option came up, I figured that maybe they'd added this step - creating a username separate from the avatar name. It said that the username was the name I'd use to sign in with and I'd pick my avatar's name later, so just threw a name in there and didn't even bother to capitalize. As far as it being next to impossible to find a decent username, a few of weeks ago out of curiosity, I created an alt account using my display name as username -TinkerDrew Resident. While I was in the sign-up process, I tried maybe 10 other somewhat random firstlastname combinations and was surprised at how easy it was to find available names. But - because of the lack of clear information during the sign-up process, I don't know how anyone would know to do this or understand why it's a good idea.

It is indeed feel good time - LOVE it! Thanks so much for posting these Ceka!

This one's been around awhile but it still cracks me up.

If they'd been greeting people or chatting I think it would have seemed less odd, I think I might have appreciated that someone was letting me know they were available to help if I needed it. There were probably about 12 of them and I kept having this urge to go up and poke one to see if they were real avatars. That doesn't even really make sense and I'm not sure how I'd have accomplished it but it was fun to think about.

Thanks Ceka, I'm glad you liked it!

Oh okay, that makes sense. I was also wondering how they got so many people willing to be stuck to a posestand for that long.

I was shopping last night and TPd to a store that on the map looked to be pretty busy. When I got there I realized that all the green dots were actually models on posestands. I'm sure they weren't all cammed in on me and watching my every move, certainly they had better things to do like sort inventory or IM friends while standing there, but I felt really awkward for some reason. Does anyone else feel like this when shopping in these places? I think part of what seemed odd was that there was no conversation at all, here are all these people relatively close together and not a word being spoken (in open chat anyway).

This isn't really cute or funny, it just makes me feel good - I guess it could fall under the "neat" category.

If you watch this video Maya you'll see how people can cam will be camming into your house.

I turned mine off too Jacki. It ended up being too much hassle to find settings that were even noticable to me but didn't look idiotic to my partner. We used different viewers at that time, maybe that had something to do with it. He's using Firestorm now too, but I'm so over it I don't think I'll be spending the time on it again.

You read my mind Ian.

You could always get a pixel job that requires real work in order to buy the pixels you want, but since you've already stated that you don't feel it's worth it, I don't imagine working for it would appeal much to you. The people who have spent countless hours working hard to create all the content you would so like to enjoy deserve to be compensated.

I believe you're in basic mode. Try logging out, then open the viewer and choose "advanced" from the mode drop down menu, then click quit, then log back in. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Basic-mode-FAQ/ta-p/733541

It's so hard to choose favorite movies, there are so many I love and for different reasons. A couple of foreign favorites: And old (and some very old) favorites:

I'm cheating and mentioning a place I've been fortunate to visit, but when I saw the title of this thread I knew my answer was Charleston SC. (me too Lynda!) I went for the man, and fell in love with the city, (as well ) The people are some of the most gracious and lovely I've met anywhere. I'm a texture freak, I swear I wanted to lick the walls of some of the old buildings I saw. I'd give anything to TP there in RL!! The nearby beaches are so beautiful, they go on for days and days..... And the food. Can I talk about the food? Okay I'll spare you, but I've never had better fried chicken in my life. As far as places I've not been, New York city is in my top five. I'm an urban girl and have never been to New York!

Yo la Tengo - Autumn Sweater, and thinking I need to sort my inventory

Just two more and I'll stop... This one makes my whole body smile

Yay! I'm glad I saved this thread for after the crying thread (I love the energy in this video and unfortunately it's not very good quality but I haven't found another one that includes this video) Sigur ros ALWAYS makes me happy! The live vid of Gobbledigook with Bjork is so much fun! And speaking of Bjork and happy:

Wow, I hadn't planned on being all sniffly this early in the evening. I can cry with any kind of music, it's embarrassing. Happy, sad, romantic, and if I'm hearing it live? Forget it, I'm a mess. Here are a few that come to mind This: and this: The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams - I'll post the whole thing (it's in two parts) for anyone interested in listening to the whole thing.  

This is the only video I could find of this. I've always loved "Wild Horses", but heard the Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams version for the first time the other night dancing with my partner and I was a puddle. The lyrics never got to me before like they did listening to these two sing it. *kleenex please* (oops maybe this belongs in the songs that make you cry thread. but it wasn't sad crying, it was love crying. romantic dreamy tears. okay I'll stop talking now)

Thank you Canaro! All better now. :matte-motes-smile:

Oh - yes I saw that question posted in the Answers section, I've had that happen with the MP before, but this is the first time with profiles. Peewee mentioned it happening if she clicked on a URL of someone's profile that was in another language, but I was bringing up my partner's profile via google search, I logged in and there it was in Spanish and he uses English. Inworld my profiles are in English, (I'm using Firestorm installed in English) but if I do a search on the web they're not.

For the last two or three days, if I log into SL profiles via the web they're in Spanish. I've logged out, run CC Cleaner, restarted my pc, logged back in and still Spanish. Any ideas?

It's so hard to just name five, so I'll just go with what comes to mind first (I definitely agree with Venus about The Smiths - How Soon is Now) Head Like Hole Nine Inch Nails Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give it Away Led Zeppelin - No Quarter Pearl Jam - Why Go Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

In the images posted I'm not sure it's the weapon that makes these women appear sexy, they'd still look sexy without the weapon. These women appear confident, and confidence is sexy.
