thank you!!

lordy my brain hurts - I haven't dealt with sine and cos in over 20 years... the crap we go through to save prims *sighs* Anyone want to write a utility that reads a rotation and tells you want it is? LOL

Does anyone know of a good explanation for how to set quarternary rotations for the spatially challenged? I've been trying to set x=90, z=180 for a while to use a sculpty cushion as a poseball and I think I'm running out of both hair and spinal fluid... help?

Recently, my account was put on administrative hold. To be very clear, I don't have an issue with the concept of administrative holds. There are idiots and worse out there and keeping them contained is important. I was told I would have to use the ticketting system and wait for the ticket to be processed. When I agreed to that, but explained I wanted my L$ refunded so I could arrange through alts to pay for market stalls and land rentals (yea - none of them were put on hold... same RL details) I was told that wasn't possible. Fortunately, my credit card company would disagree, and oddly enough, I was asked to provide photo ID and my administrative hold was lifted VERY quickly after that. I do try to be polite when dealing with LL staff as they're about as stuck in the situation as I am, and I try to apologize when I'm not. Since I tend to crabby when this sort of thing happens, I wanted answers as to why the hold in the first place and wasn't getting anywhere on the phone ("Linden Governance only communicates by email and tickets"). Since the original ticket had disappeared from my history (how odd), I made another and put all the emails in there. Creation date on the ticket: 2011-03-22 09:28:50, actions to date by LL on the ticket as of now: None. Every time I blink, LL is telling me how much they've improved the ticket system and I am NOT seeing it! Is ANYONE seeing improvements? Am I just whiny? (ok - bad question, obviously I'm whiny today *grins*). However, would love to know if anyone's actually getting service for their membership $$.

erm... ok... going to bring this up one more time... It's been implied before, but no one's come out and said it... THIS IS A GAME. SOME PEOPLE IN THIS GAME ARE IDIOTS. There is no easy answer to your problem, but as with some of the previous reports, stop setting yourself up as a victim. Is it fair that you have to make changes? No. Is life fair? No. Decide what you want out of this GAME and act accordingly. 1) STOP sending in abuse reports - obviously they aren't working to your satisfaction. If you're sending in that many, then I can see why. Like it or not, as soon as you get a "reputation" for being "judgmental" (note the quotations before you flame please), your abuse reports may well be "de-prioritized". 2) LL gave you a mute button for a reason - use it. Mute the ijits, have done. Run a HUD or a viewer that lets you be no-push (ie - "phantom" in emerald) and ignore the buggers. If they show up, put your avatar on no-push by whatever method you like and go make a pot of coffee, vacuum a room, take the dog for a walk, take yourself for a walk. Better yet, make an alt, log your main into where-ever you don't want to be and go shop/visit/whatever on your alt LOL. YOU are the only one who can choose to not be a victim in this situation. They are the only ones who can choose to leave you alone. The one advantage between SL and RL is that in SL you DO have some options - if this were happening to you RL, you'd have a much tougher time coping with it, as you'd have fewer options. Lastly, remember that they're ijits, pure and simple, bullies who never grew up to be capable of accepting their responsibility as adults with the rights, privileges and duties incumbent thereto. They are incapable of growing as the only way they see to make themselves feel big is to make someone else feel small. Pity them, and most importantly, AVOID them. They're probably not fixable, and if they are, they'll need to make that decision for themselves, should they ever be capable of doing so. Until then, they'll drift from sim to sim and possible victim to possible victim, trying to find some sort of fulfillment for their small lives.

Open your inventory, go to "file" in the menu bar of that window, then to "filters". You can set the filters for a number of days or house as opposed to "since logon". Very handy if you know you bought something 3 days ago, but can't remember WHAT! LOL. You can also set the filter to only show certain types of items (ie - textures).

Here's a step-by-step to clear your cache: Start the Second Life as usual but do NOT log in. At the top left, look for the words "File", "Edit", "Help". Click Edit. Click Preferences (should be the only thing on the menu if you're not logged in) Click the tab on the left side of the dialogue box labelled "Network" Click the "Clear Cache" button. Click "Close" on the dialogue box saying "Cache will be cleared after you restart Second Life". Click the OK button Close second life (click the X button, top right corner of the viewer) Re-open second life and log in as usual. When you log in, you'll see a message (possibly for several seconds) saying your cache is being cleared. I'll leave it to someone else to post a good low-lag surl and instructions to use it.
