    Purchases historic

    And why would you want to?

    I have to second that question.

    I've found that my purchase history a great source to find an object I have purchased, buy can't quite remember the name or the seller. It's also a great reference to how I have changed over the years; a time capsule if you will.

    A simple premium question.

    They won't take it directly from your bank account, they will bill the card (or your PayPal or Skrill account) that you designated as your payment method. This is an automatic renewal, and you won't get a notice in advance. You can, however, always see your next billing date in your account summary.

    Did not know that. I'll take a peek.

    Thanks Lindal.

    Edit: Not due until May. For some reason, I thought it closer.

    No - they will send an email saying they took the money and renewed your Premium.

     Do you have other things that auto pay, but not on a monthly basis?  If so, how do you remember about them?  I know that not all of mine give me reminders beforehand.

    In an answer, no. I did monthly auto pay at one time and it was a bear to stop. Only company that gives me a heads up is CenturyLink (Ironically the monthly auto pay company). Now they just email me a love note "you owe us $XX, where is it?".

    I'll have the funds on my Mastercard debit, no problem.

    Thank you all for the input.

    New last names?

    One thing we know is that behind every last name, there is an assigned number. That number is used for the UUID generation.

    Could they use two strings instead? Probably. But changing the way accounts / UUIDs are created is a massive change to their backend and even the smallest mistake could break everything related to accounts. The effort and risk of redesigning account creation for little pay-off is certainly not worth it for Linden Lab, otherwise they might've already done it.

    So I think I get it. I don't understand strings (I don't code), so let's use IP addresses as an example.

    The lab releases a list of 25 names to choose from, assigning certain IP addresses to each predetermined name. "Jones" is a certain IP, "Smith" is a certain IP, "Doe" is a certain IP, etc.. As people sign up for a new name and choose "Smith", that IP is recognized as is "Jones" and "Doe" and the other 22 IPs being offered.

    A few weeks later, the Lab decides to take "Jones" off the list and add "Johnson" to the new list (new added IP) but discontinues offering "Jones". Those who have taken the "Jones" name are gold, no change required as the IP is acceptable and understood.Those who choose "Johnson" as a users last name get the new IP and the process continues

    Now let's look at allowing anyone to change their last name to what they choose. With a very possible large response with a new last name request in the world (not necessarily just english either), the new last name/IP demand would overdo, overdrive, over commit (choose the appropriate phrase if you desire) the system, hence the Lab predetermining new last names on a semi-regular basis is more a coding reason other than a commercial reason?

    If what I stated is even close to what you were saying, I can accept why LL prefers not to allow users making up their own last names. It would be a headache felt around the world.

    Just based on the forum folks that have done the name change, more opted to pay than I originally expected.

    I paid the $40.00 for the name change. Rowley was really the only one that grabbed my attention.

    Frankly, I wish the Lab would allow one to change their last name to what the user wishes, provided it's not obscene or otherwise offensive. Why stick to a list? I may be mistaken, but all one is dong is taking a series of letters (Smith) assigned to the UUID of the avi and changing the letters (Jones) to another series, to the same UUID avi.

    Am I wrong?

    Two wet hair looks from Doux. Doux is a pretty good brand I would suggest you. I find it pretty fine and I am really fond of it as well. It's actually better than the likes of Truth. Doux has a realistic mesh texture. I have 4 hairstyles from Doux. Lala - Blogger Pack (Marketplace), Rain - Deluxe Pack (Level Event), Elijah - Deluxe Pack (Level Event) and Jimena - Blogger Pack (Marketplace).

    Ordered a demo.

    Thank Karen.

    Wet hair look

    in Wanted

    Posted

    I'm hoping no one considers this post as advertising. That is the last thing I want it viewed as.

    I am searching for a hair shop that specializes in wet hair looks. Something along the likes of Truth, but with a wet look option. Dry look not needed. I'm hoping to do a photo session, but need that wet look.

    Any suggestions?

    most dj programs have this build in, no need to adjust everything manually. And if you use legal obtained music by the official distribution channels it's sometimes even already done.

    I beg to differ on the legal distribution levels.

    I've processed music from CD's that clipped both top and bottom waves. As for 'manually adjusting' levels, I don't mind doing that at all. It gives me hands on experience using Audacity. Eye balling the audio levels to a reasonably good level gives me comfort that the dB levels are consistent.

    Granted, everyone has their styles of editing. I am not saying you are wrong and I'm right. Whatever edit program one is happy with, so be it. Consistent levels is part of the remedy to being a good DJ on SL.

    The key to a proper segue is note for note, key for key and beat for beat. Two of three choices would work well.

    You don't want to come out of a slow song into one that spins the head or out of a song that has a 7/4 count in to something really slow (few exceptions). It would be like hitting the brakes on your car from 70 mph cruise control to a school zone limit. Work from one end and climb, or descend. Experiment with songs of your choice and see what I am saying.

    What Schatzi says.

    I must add that you should get a good reliable audio edit system, Audacity is good. Make sure your audio levels match or are within reasonable range. Audacity will allow you to adjust dB levels, then export back into your music library. Nothing ruins a good listen but when the songs are too loud (clipping the top and bottoms, sounding distorted) or too soft (the listener has to turn their volume up to hear the song).

    Just a suggestion.
