"I recently discovered a very handy Firestorm feature that changed the way I interact with my inventory. If you open your Inventory and click on the gear icon Firestorm will show additional options for your inventory. The options Add objects on double click and Add clothes on double click are unchecked by default. With these options unchecked Firestorm replaces any items already attached to the position targeted by the item that you double click. With these options checked, however, Firestorm adds the item that you double click, on top of any other items already attached to the targeted position." Read more on the blog.

"The question of identity / pseudonymity has been linked to Second Life pretty much since the platform from the start; we have complete agency of how we represent ourselves and how much of ourselves we chose to reveal to the world. It is often said that this pseudonymity allows us to more fully express who we’d like to be.
But who are we, really? The person we are at home and among family is not the same as the person we are at work;, and that person is not the same as the person we are when with friends, and so on. Even within our family group, who we are with loved ones – husband / wife, children, parents – can change from moment to moment."

"Over the last couple of months my SL has taken a new direction, and I have to say, I’m quite enjoying it and happy in the way it’s going. I have wanted to move into blogger management for a while, and I was lucky enough to have been taken on as a trainee manager, it’s going really well too. I have also taken on a role with Seraphim as a marketing assistant, and I’m very much enjoying that role also. Of course it means that time for actual blogging is reduced, and sadly I have had to give up a few of my commitments there, but it’s all good, everyone has been very supportive and understanding."
