    That's exactly what my bot system from way back did.

    Yes they have, and yes it has.

    Nice - but not an English breakfast
  4. Phil Deakins
    They are called English breakfasts In cafes you'll usually see 'Full English breakfast' though, which is an English breakfast with other things added, such as beans as mentioned a couple of posts up, that are not parts of the English breakfast. The normal so-called English breakfast is bacon, egg, and tomatoes. Everything else in the full english breakfast isn't part of it.

    How long have you participated in Second Life? Since December 2006, with a 2 year break just before covid struck. How many hours per week (on average) do you participate in SL? For some years early on, probably around 50 or 60 hours a week in SL. In recent times, precious little unless I'm writing a scripted system when it may be around 30 or so. How much time have you invested in your avatar? Almost none, and almost no money spent on it either. Do you make your real identity known, or do you remain pseudonymous? Yes when someone wants to know, but it's rare that it happens. If I refused to share such information, I wouldn't have the decorated Christmas tree that someone sent from New York to me here in England What is the worst thing a person can do in SL? I don't really know. Possibly spreading lies about another user. It hasn't happened to me that I know of, but it does happen.

    That would be entirely up to the landowner, and I think that most would be quite amenable to it.

    Assuming that you rent your 'home' so... 1. Check the land to see if it's set so that people can't see avatars that are in the parcel. You can do that by clicking the World option at the top of your browser. Then clicking the OPTIONS tab in the floating box. If the 'Avatars on other parcels can see and chat with avatars on this parcel' option is unchecked, then your skybox is safe from prying eyes that are outside the parcel. If it's checked, then ask the landowner to check it. That deals with avatars that are outside the parcel, but not avatars that are on the parcel. 2. To deal with avatars that come onto the parcel where your skybox is, you will need a security device. Such devices won't prevent avatars from coming onto the parcel, in or near your skybox, but they will remove them in a few seconds. The device that removes avatars needs to be owned by the landowner - group or person. That's not a problem. Some devices use a copyable relay for that purpose so that the device itself remains the property of the one who bought it. If the land is owned by a group, then you would need to have the group permission to deed objects to the group. You can check with the landowner about that. I am in the security device business so, if you need any help or information, please feel free to ask me, privately if you prefer but preferably here for the benefit of other people. Incidentally, forget about yellow lines. They are only effective up to a certain height, which won't cover your skybox.

    Search for 'security orbs'. You'll find plenty of security devices that can protect your skybox from outsiders. Browse through a few and see what they do. If you just want to protect your skybox, or the level in the parcel column where it is, you can find devices that can do that.

    Thank you, Randy.

    Is it against the ToS to pass/give/transfer an account to someone else?
  12. Phil Deakins
    What I sell these days wouldn't interest you, at least not for the purpose of your threads, but here it is anyway:- https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/206664 I'm not on the right computer to get and post an LM to my inworld store, but I'll IM it to you. Or doing an inworld search for Security Solutions will find it.
  13. Phil Deakins
    Unfortunately, that's not usually the intent.
  14. Phil Deakins
    P.S. But you'd need to go all the way back to RA to find the really lively threads.
  15. Phil Deakins
    You were not misinformed
  16. Phil Deakins
    And you never know what I might refuse to make lol I think the only things I made that might suit the OP are long gone, but I did make something recently that really suited you

    I am a creator, and I am an active Christian.

    Aaw. So you don't have an RL pirate costume . Still, you can add it to your New Year Resolutions, to get one in time for next year's Talk Like A Pirate Day, me 'earty
  19. Phil Deakins
    Oh Then DID you use it for that day?
  20. Phil Deakins
    When is Talk Like A Pirate Day? Do you wear it for that, and talk like a pirate?
  21. Phil Deakins
    That's a risky choice of words. (It's a very old story and the main protagonist recently left the forum so it's probably safe now)
  22. Phil Deakins
    I've done that, but for the last couple of years, I've put a poster in the window saying that halloween isn't supported here. The poster is a printout of a file that the police provided.
  23. Phil Deakins
    Mine too.

    This has nothing to do with consumption, but I'm remembering when Sweden had an actual embassy in SL, and Sky had a newsroom here. In those days, the outside world thought that SL could amount to something significant, much like a new country.
  25. Phil Deakins
    Yeah. Let's have more bots threads . My 'good old days' in the forum was back when I used to use bots, and many people were against them. I thoroughly enjoyed those scraps . Unfortunately, we can't do that any more in this placid forum but chats on the various uses of bots might be enjoyable. It might even inspire me to create another bots system. I need summat to do.
