Tiffy Vella

I haven't visited Hair Fair yet, so can't comment on the lag. I do know some ways for helping though, and am big on not lobbing up with a squazillion scripted flexi-alpha-prims. One trick is to derender anyone with an ungodly arc (not wishing to begin another arc-debate here, I just swear, anecdotally, that this works quite well). Being part of Fairs can be really fun as a creator. I love it, and really enjoy setting up a display. Most I've been in allow no scripts at all in booths...even landmark givers must be "buy for $L0 prims", not inventory-giving scripts. Usually, sculpts are not allowed, except for a few merchants who pay a premium to do so, and even then they are limited. Personally, I dislike the push away from inworld shopping and inworld experiences in favour of Website-based shopping. Events should be just that....3D events where people gather inworld.....not soulless opportunities to click on yet another link and go to a new page. Here's to improving the way they are done, however, as I know we need to keep trying to get it right.

Yay Amethyst We could really troll the "Wanted" section with this sort of stuff.

LOLOLOL Also, i r manger of new hot club need newbulid mesh olny im me thru th game for detals good bulders no time wasters pref no mor then $L300 n if enyone has a free sim not used for next 3 weeks plz im me in the game

If you are going to take a group of objects into inventory (either coalesced or linked) and want to later re-rezz them in the same position, you may like to first rezz a cube in the centre, and name it "western decorations". Then take note of it's position, and write the co-ordinates into the description. Either link all to that central prim, or select all, making the named prim the last prim selected. When you want to re-rezz them, you can check the co-ordinates through looking at the objects properties while it's still in inventory. This makes it easy to find in inventory, and means you're not likely to rezz half of it over a border.

Bloody cat. Mine always rolls all over my keyboard and logs me out of everything. Fuzzy little bastards the both of them. They once made a partnership offer to some total goofus. Some newbie **bleep** in a freebie suit rocked up and said he'd be my manager. Said I needed someone to do all my salesing, and that without him I'd amount to nothing and that I can't do it alone. He said I could continue to design and create, and that he'd do all sales work for a 50/50 cut. My cats said that that's really good and that I ought to go for it. My horrible little cats! I still feed them, and may at times pat them them, but my message is to go ignore all fuzzy cute things, and use your own spine. Gah what was this post about again? Bugger- I'm off topic....

Yeah yeah yeah......go start a Jira or something. /me returns to patting her Roos, and flinging the occasional poo over the sim line.

I've found that a small cylinder, hollowed to about 90%, is great to stand them in. Make it a bit shiny if you like.

It is a huuuge pita doing it manually. Firestorm, Phoenix and Singularity all do it with their excellent building tools.

Don't you have to be a premium member to access Linden Realms? (If I'm wrong, apologies...just throw something nice to eat at me, and I'll go away )

Gah you have two threads about this. I answered in the other one, before I saw this one.

Try an undeform gesture. I may be barking up the wrong tree, but if your neck and shoulders are all squashed as you say, with shoulder blades poking out, and you can't seem to fix them, you may have leftover deformation from a mesh avatar. Usually a relog helps, but not always. IM me and I'll send some over to you. Edited because typos.

A stupid and perhaps pertinent thing is that just suppose you really were intending to buy some hair- in fact needed some for a party that very night. Would you have found any at either of these two 'stores', or would you have given up in frustration and headed off to the Marketplace? There are great creators of hair, with lovely inworld shops who needed a customer, and didn't get one. I've done the same with skin searches, shoe searches, etc in the past, and am often mystified by the results. It's why I do my searching on the Marketplace so that I can verify that a store really does specialise in what I want to buy. (To ensure that they do indeed make and sell hair, not randomly placed blue beds, lol.) Then I go inworld to their store to do my shopping.

Those covers are pure vintage shockers! I'm laughing, and am trying not to imagine what the stories inside are like. /me defies all temptation to google for further bodice-ripping details.

"Finally, in Section 4, we offer a simple explanation for the question posed in the title, and suggest how false positives may be used to intentionally erode attacker economics." Heheh.....those scambaiters know what they're doing Fascinating article, 16...thanks!

Forgive me I just re-read every thing you said but slower (hehheheh), and add that I can add anecdotal evidence to what Rival has said. To jewellery pieces that I make (and this may apply to other types of objects) I often make a central transparent hidden prim. It contains all scripts (being the parent) but is hidden so people don't see a prim inside themselves (because that might freak them out like ew what's this in me?) . This prim is never seen unless looked for, and holds the name of the object, and its positioning on the avatar, plus scripts. If the whole object is unlinked, a prim like this just might be overlooked.

Hi Jennifer, just let me also start by saying that I assume that you are doing exactly what the creator has permitted...and I do the same whenever it looks like it will work in this situation I sell everything copy/mod too (included scripts copy/no-mod), and most of my scripted objects contain scripts in the parent prim only. So, say I want to sell something with colour and texture change options in every single prim, plus resize controls, maybe shiny controls too...there is no way I'd want scripts in all those individual prims. So, all scripting goes in to the contents of the parent prim. For the system I use, the parent prim script looks for the names (and maybe information written in the description field) of each child prim, and so controls each prim, whether they contain a script or not. It's what we do to cut lag and hogging of script memory. If you were to unlink, play with, then relink an object like this, check the prim names for any system, so that you can name any added prims correctly. And reset the scripts in all objects. Some scripts may call for linkset number, and this would mean that you must be careful to relink the prims in the same order they were originally. Just be careful when adding new prims to an object. Best advice, play....but always make a copy first. Edited to add...always keep the parent prim as the parent prim when re-linking...but you know that, derr, I know

It's easy also to just take a screenshot. I do that often if an image is to be post-processed, then it can be pasted straight into photoshop. There's no way to know if someone does it this way.

Nahhh...I can spend 10 hours each on graph jam or regretsy, and know I've never wasted a moment of my life.

Such gorgeous fabrics and delicious colours...I'd like them in all universes. (It's probably not going to happen however. I have Armani taste and a Target budget.)

It sounds to me like the spirit of what they are doing is to end farming....so in regards to SL, would they target camping bots? Would the purchase of virtual currency still remain legal? (mind you, all currency is virtual these days.)

Just adding that I have a gmail account for Tiffy Vella, plus one for her rl typist. Tiffy gets the way more interesting emails, though. Gmail accounts can be linked, so that rl you and sl you can check each others messages easily. I don't think I could function without them both, as they are extremely practical.

yes

No time to read thread....just wanna say.....squwaaaaaaark sqwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark sqwaaark...ok that's all

Hmmm..I know that little island in the Blake Sea...a spot people might sail to to get away from it all. Now, if I were sent landmarks and/or business promotional messages at a store, or mall, or fair, or shopping sim, or via a shop group, or subscribo, or one of those product-promotion-groups, then I'd say fair's fair. But if I had made the effort to sail to the middle of the Blake Sea and some person spammed me (and 6 others) with business landmarks, regardless of whether or not he had spoken a few friendly words in local chat I'd still be pretty miffed. And I would not likely be a customer of that business. You can be shirtless, as that's cool there. That's a non-issue. I think the man who initially addressed you sounded rude, but I think that may be his own seperate issue, and that one is not your problem either. But as to the rest, honestly, there are times and places where people don't like being sold to, and they will resent it. There are lots of ways to promote your business, and if you direct your efforts towards people who have elected to receive such messages, you have won half the battle. Don't spring advertising on people out having a day off.

He's been doing this for a long time too. I received the same message in a popular store well over a year ago, perhaps even two. He was muted and ARed back then
