the release will happen as soon as we step away from the computer... 😉

@Atina0 I meant posting to the thread... I should have been more specific.

Camper just now... ah, @Atina0 beat me to it :-)

Ooooh, that is a brilliant expression! I saw a Traditional at 06:08 and assumed it was yours, but I guess I was wrong.

At the moment, the new homes are rarer than unicorn dust - micro releases are happening (usually Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays), but you pretty much need to be stalking the web page (F5, F5, F5, F5...on and on - or use an auto-refresh browser extension that does the F5ing for you) as it happens. Not ideal, but with each release, the pool of homes increase, and that in turns mean there's more movement (people abandoning their home to try for another one), so that there's more chance of getting a home outside of the release time. It's getting there.... :-)

Boat floated by just now (00:40 SLT); first home I've seen in days - is it just me, or have things been unusually quiet on the home spotting front?.

That's very cute, and a clever attempt at disguising the damage done to fish in fresh water pounds further inland... Bellisseria Environment Society should really do something!

If you use Windows, you can have 2 additional clocks alongside the system clock with the local time (the one that usually live in the bottom right hand corner); you have to click the time to show the clocks, but it's useful anyway. (Hope I'm making sense, and that somebody might find the info useful?) So you can set one to SL time and have that available via one mouse click...

Too true! (and I reckon my ratio - for those I see - is about the same)

wow, can I have your computer? 😉 I only saw about two, maybe three... (It could be worse, I suppose.)

I want a CAMPER! :-) well, technically, I have one, I just want a better location...

Ooooh, that looks fantastic! And all that storage space, too... always so good to have 😉

Yes, that was the one. (Best region name ever...)

I have no way of knowing. It could be, or it could be a later abandon by somebody else somewhere else...

Aaahh, thank you! Yeah, furnishing the trailer (when I get it) is going to be... interesting... I can always plonk the kitchen outside. No electricity, no problem. 😉

I'll be abandoning a houseboat at 12:45 SLT. It's here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Arrgh/38/240/22 Best of luck...

I haven't really finished decorating my houseboat, but the trailers are growing on me, so I've decided that I'm going to abandon the boat and try for a trailer. But I wanted to take a couple of pictures as a memento, so here they are… There's one on Flickr, and the rest I'm going to post directly in this thread, so bear with me if nothing works - first time posting pictures here...

just saw either 3 houses or the same house 3 times... not sure if that was release or abandon...

Chimneys. There's a huuuuge mega mole mall underneath Bellisseria, it needs big fireplaces to be kept warm.

Surely not. That never happens.

If you go the scripted route, the blue pop up choices thingy (probably not the technical term) is what the Linden Homes use anyway, so it'll be familiar to most people. Personally, I prefer anything that's mod, but when it comes to houses exteriors, @RaeLeeH makes a good point about the potential for breaking the covenant - though I certainly don't believe creators should feel responsible if people use your creations in a way that goes against any kind of rules, so I personally wouldn't worry about it too much - YMMV. If you're so inclined, maybe you could provide different packs with different functionality (mod vs script or rez box vs no rez box), and see what's more popular, and then you can decide further down the road what works best... What would be great, though, is if it could include shadow/ AO maps, if there are any. Included as part of the package, not a something you have to pay for extra. That would be brilliant!

Yes. (Unless I'm severely mistaken.)

Boat spotted just now. Pretty sure it's a region release? Or an abandon from the latest release, maybe.

Seems to me there's a fine line between being respectful of the overall theme and of your neighbours visual sensibilities… and going full retro suburbia Dolly the sheep. I happen to love the 50's (which is what Bellisseria evokes for me), but I also find it far more interesting to see the theme given a twist, or subverted entirely (not that would be likely with the covenant, and that's fair enough), or to see more contemporary details thrown into the mix. So to be honest, when I saw the picture in the first post, my reaction was, ooooh, a wind turbine! Cool!! I want one of those… If ever I end up in a traditional house, I'll probably be pushing the boundaries of the covenant as far as they will go…😊 Watch this space…😜😈

I think it was a region release. Got a house too (with an alt), but I've put it back into the pool (I have my heart set on houseboats, or a house right on the beach, so it might as well go to somebody who will appreciate it). There are some lovely little pools nested in the rocks in that region...
