I've been using.. Bree's Appleblossom, I think it's called, for years.

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dahana/208/100/62 The sim has a road going through it, and some water on the opposite side to the parcel. It's relatively flat. And it is decently low lag. First time selling land. Just take the link above, and buy the land if you're interested. Thanks Enjoy!

Just a heads up, 1.57 is more than 5 ft 1in. In rl I'm 1.50m and 4ft 11.5/5ft. 1.57 would be closer to 5ft 3in. Don't sell yourself short OP!

Did more digging around. I found someone else that had the same issue eventually, and it seems they were told to use the Radegast viewer. Tried that and it worked. Huzzah Who knows, maybe this can be of use to someone.

FYI: I posted this in General not too long ago, but um... there's a torrent of spam drowning me -_-. This might not be the right section, though. If not.. sorry :/ Hi all Today is the first day since last weekend that I've had the chance to log in. As a result, I wasn't aware of the TOS changes until I went to go inworld. My issue now, is that I'm not able to accept the TOS. By this, I mean that they never show up for me. I've been sitting here for about an hour now, trying several times to get them to load (unless it's routinely taking longer than 20 mins - my longest wait so far), but to no avail. I've tried both Firestorm, and the official viewer. I've tried clearing my cache.. If anyone knows of something that could help, I'd really appreciate it. I was really hoping to get inworld and hang out for a while.

I haven't finished the thread yet, but thought I'd give my 5Ls.. I'm a customer, moreso than a merchant. I have a couple of things on sale, but eh.. nothing fully fledged. My preference is boxes, or maybe... a box and a picture as a folder. My inventory is out of control. I have over 26k items, and most are boxed .. When I'm sorting, I like to be able to pull out a box, look at the picture, and then move it, without having to rezz the whole folder to remember how something looks. In fact, today, I went and boxed about 400 plants into maybe 10 boxes, just to tidy things up a little. So, yeah, I'm a customer that likes boxes.. (though sending as a folder with a box and a picture would be awesome for times when you want to see what's in it, without rezzing)

Where are you from? Ireland (Cork) When did you join SL originally? Initially tried joining SL around December 2007 when my dad asked me to give it a try (the university he works at were looking into it as a possibly virtual classroom platform). Gave up after half an hour cause my laptop at the time couldn't handle it (didn't realise straight off that that was the problem, and declared SL to be rubbish). Christmas 2008 my Dad brought the subject up again, and asked if I'd tried it again since. Eventually broke down and created this Avi on Jan 9th 2009 What have you mainly spent your time doing in SL in the past? RP, shopping, messing with building, hanging out, shopping... How are you planning to spend your time in SL in 2013? Shop and messing with building. I want to start selling stuff.. but I get distracted easily. Also, want to get my inventory sorted and pared down a bit.

If I don't know a person, and they call me something like "love" or "hun" and I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing, or them being condescending, that can get to me. If I understand it to just be something they say, then I'm fine with it. The whole "boi" thing on male subs confused me at the start in SL.. Where I'm from, that's just the phonetic spelling of how we greet guys where I'm from. It's an every so slightly different pronounciation from "boy". If it's being elongated, the spelling (for those that bother writing in their accent, which admittedly I will sometimes do) changes to "bai". Again, this is a cultural thing. I'm unusual because I *don't* generally call males "boi" (or females "girl" or "gurl"). It's not considered condescending or belittling, it's just part of our culture and accent to address people that way.

I just want to point out that possibly, a lot of gamers, with very up to date systems, may have issues trying to get SL to run on ultra graphics. I'm on a laptop. It's less than a year old. It has two graphics cards - one is an intel chip, the other a decent nvidia. I can play Witcher 2 on this machine with no issues (check the specs... not exactly low end). SL on the other hand? I can just about get 10FPS on low graphics. The graphics card isn't exactly high end anymore, but it supports 3d graphics (if only I had the glasses), so it's not exactly the worst either. This is a coding issue with SL. On a day to day basis, it refuses to see the dedicated graphics card. The only way to get it to see the nvidia card, it to hook it up to a HDTV. This is all well and good, except the text gets very hard to read. Your point about keeping a machine up to par is very much valid. BUT... spare a thought for those of us that DO keep a decent machine, but are screwed over by bad programming code. The dual graphics card thing is technology that's been around a few years - Optimus technology. Gaming and other graphic intensive programs are meant to tell the dedicated card to kick in as they start up..SL doesn't. So, on a day to day basis, I'm stuck on low end graphics, when my previous laptop played ultra no issue. Hooking up to the TV is a hassle, if I'm only gonna be inworld for half an hour, ya'know! Sorry for the rant, but I've had people telling me I should update my laptop if it's so rubbish...Though, the way things are going with it breaking down, that could happen in the next year -_-' (Two repairs before it's even a year old.. thanks for a solid machine, Dell ) This is more an attempt to educate on an issue that a lot of people aren't aware of, including a lot of gamers.

I too have noticed a major increase in lag... only since last weekend, though. My fps are now lucky to get to 1/3 of what they used to be

I don't like facelights. I gave them up about 6-8 months after I joined SL.. well, tried to. My favourite hair at the time had them built in >< Thankfully, fairly tastefully. Now, I don't wear any. I use my windlight settings to make the world, and myself, look good to ME! That's all I care about: how things look to ME! Before I found the option to turn off facelights, people that wore the super bright ones really bugged me... to I don't think I ever said it to them. Now... I just have lights set to sun/moon only. One thing I do hate, however... is facelight users complaining that I don't wear one. I've had this from time to time. I get told I should wear one, because it'll make me look better (to them....). I always decline, and say that I use windlight settings, to make SLife look how I want it to, and I'm happy with that. I don't think I even have a facelight in my inventory anymore.

Who is this guy? I genuinely don't get it. I've never heard of him, or this song. Even listening to the video or looking him up on wikipedia. The song is nonsense, and he is someone I've never ever heard of . It's a sad thing when anyone whatsoever dies. My point is... I've no idea why people keep going on about this guy dying. Was he famous or something? *scratches head looking lost and bewildered*

Amethyst You say SL isn't compatible with a wireless connection, yes? Have you anything to verify this? I'm asking, simply because well.. I'm on a wireless connection pretty much all the time I'm in SL. The only way it *wouldn't* be compatible, from what I can see, is if it has a really small D/L limit, or really really REALLY low speeds. Other than that, it is possible to use a wireless connection with SL
