    I think a lot of the people you see here during NA work times are not in fact in NA. :) 

    Oh, I was referring to people who talk about checking out the land page from work and having to wait to get home to see where their Bellisseria home is because they are at work. I am not sure what part of the world they live in.  I say I am surprised they are able because I am shell shocked from the strict surroundings I had at the previous job and assumed it was that way in most offices. I guess not!  :D

    Why is everyone on the LP during work hours? Are they playing SL TGOH at work!? Shamey!

    LOL

    I am surprised so many seem to be able to play GOH from work since a previous job I had watched us like a hawk and had a program that spied on our internet activity. We didn't dare even google anything not work related.

    In Firestorm, the Teleport History is in the World menu.  When you pull it up, you'll see a date and time next to each location.  That timestamp is your local time and is the time that the TP actually happened, so that is the time of each landing.

    I do use Firestorm and the date and time never showed there for me, but I fixed it with a setting.  Thanks!

    I type random characters into the name field on that page.  I only rename it to something proper if I don't abandon right away.  Using the TP history on the alt account does give me the info I need.

     

    I do often forget some of the properties I have had.  I should start creating landmarks - or maybe I'll just start pasting all of the SLURLs into a notepad doc to keep from adding more needless clutter to my inventory.

     

    That is another reason I make the LMs since I used to say "Hey, wasn't I just here or was it next door?"  I do A LOT of talking to myself while house hunting. Ha. I forgot about using teleport history. I don't see where to find the time of each landing. Where is that?

    I really wish my land page showed me the times for my last 5 house claims.  My 5 yesterday were scattered during the day and evening, but I don't remember when that first one was.  So all I can now do is periodically refresh and try to claim one, only to be told that I've hit my 5 house limit.  Even  when I hit the point where I can finally get one again, I also don't remember the time of the second one that I claimed yesterday, so I'll still be in that same situation again.

    I make landmarks of every house I claim as soon as I get there, and if I abandon, I refer to it later to see what time I claimed it (right click on the landmark, then click Properties) if I can't remember when my time out is up. I also use the landmark to try to avoid claiming a house more than once (I map the landmark to see if the house I just had was claimed and if it is, I try to go for the one on the land page.

    This was posted in other threads, but Patch has a new Flickr hint!

    Time to Paint!

     

    In chat, he said there are all kinds of hints in this photo including the timing.  I see leaves on the trees, so hopefully that means spring and not summer, lol.  I also see summery drinks?

     Squeaky Mole  in chat says   ,no release today   ,its been delayed with a day  ,no reason why 

    When I was reading chat, someone asked about a release and another person said no releases during restarts and then Whitney chimed in and confirmed no releases during restarts but did not say there was no release at all today, so hmmm. 🤷‍♀️

    Something that COULD be ... mere speculation ... is that the new theme are mountain huts and that they'll be placed in the regions that till now are only mountain landscape, for instance Peace Canyon, Varmint Hills, Downtime and Beneath

    I was thinking that the mountain landscape is there to separate the traditionals from the Victorians. 🤷‍♀️

    Here's the wording from the covenant: "Additional buildings or structures are allowed as long as they are in theme and meet the height restrictions."

    This particular structure, which is modular/modern and longer (though not higher) than the trad itself, is hardly 'in theme'. Definitely a judgment call to be made by Lindens...

    I wonder if the resident knows they can rezz other home options on their parcel because their modular/modern home makes no sense.  I also noticed a rezzer in the front yard for a camper.  Eep.

    This happens to me often.... I started rezzing a box and sitting on it to get out from under the stairs.

    What I do is TP out from under the stairs using the mini map. For those unaware, you can double click on the mini map to TP to your desired destination within the visible range shown on it. I just double click close to my dot and I am out in a flash. :)

    Since Lil still has the Traditional she picked up the other day, and I'm still debating between it and the one the my alt has had since the initial release, I don't have anyone else that can look for houses. 

    I need to decide on my Traditional.

    *sigh*

    If the one you picked up the other day is Gentle Grove, that used to be mine on an alt that I thought was the one that was  the monthly premium, but I was mistaken and let it go by accident (which I am over now lol).  I think it's in a unique position which I found really neat with the water on both sides and sitting at a dead-end street.  I love uniquely placed homes. :) 

    I remember your post a few days ago mentioning Gentle Grove.

  12. I just got caught up on the last few hours of posts and just want to comment about the multiple accounts acquiring homes.  Folks do it in real life....celebrities for example, with their homes in various countries. Since I am an American, I think of a sandy lot as having a vacation home in a warm climate like Florida. Another home might feel like Colorado in the mountains.  My camper feels like a weekend getaway in Michigan. I haven't been able to get away on vacation in a few years, so these homes make for a nice get-away fantasy for me for the time being.

    Speaking of celebrities, if I happen to see any of you from the forum in the neighborhood, I feel like I am having a celebrity sighting.  I will refrain from asking for your autographs, though. Ha.

    Alrighty, thanks for reading and Happy New Year, everyone!

    Yeah... share the love of a landmark... folks gotta see this for themselves... I am hoping this is just a bad angle or something, but... the WTFery is strong in this one...

     

    I had to have a look, and that's not even the worst angle. The structure has no rhyme or reason to it. It was created by the resident living there.

    Patch showed up in Chat about 5 minutes ago. So, for those looking, release within the next hour?

    From what I have observed the past few months, Patch being in chat has never really coordinated with a release. He has been promoted and Whitney Linden does the releases now. Also, the last few releases seem to have been later rather than earlier.

    After loooong time of Meadowbrooks I just let a camper pass by 5:48 am SLT

    As usual these days it is a persistent camper - noone wants it!

    To avoid constant alarm I had to change the searchword to Traditional

    This way I miss the houseboats though!

    You can use more than one search word, can't you?  I am not sure which refresher it is, but I even saw someone mention that you can use partial words, too, such as boat.

    To people looking and doing the click click click thing, just a reminder to pull down the menu tab. I've caught it several times today when the screen comes up Meadowbrook but there is a Bellisseria home available by using the menu pulldown. (And I only just now noticed that the OP misspelled Bellisseria :) )

    In case you didn't know, Bellisseria staying at the top of the drop down menu works in the same way that it does when you enter the name for your home and then click the next button. For instance, is you are not looking for a camper, but Bellisseria pops up, click "next" anyway and then go back to the previous page and that will seal it in to appear at the top next time.  Also, when a release happens, it may not show at the top the first time, but if you get the "sorry" message and try again, Bellisseria will be at the top of the menu for subsequent tries.

    So one of the recently released regions had a community cabin on it....  If that's what the upcoming new theme is gonna be, I'm so in!  Omigosh, it's so freaking adorable.  I'm really wanting a winter themed perma-home

    no its not the new theme has been hinted to be Victorian 

    Just as the traditionals, houseboats, and campers have several style choices, maybe the new one will include a cabin as one of the style choices along with a Victorian if that is, indeed, what the hint is. 🤷‍♀️
