The little girl was 5 or 6 years old, wearing a bright flowery dress and holding a bag containing 4 gold fish and water. She was so proud of her fish she had to show them to us. How can you not smile at a moment like that? Other things that make me smile: an empty in-box at work creme brulee 5 meter length of rope waking up to the smell of coffee brewing putting on my lace-up ropers (not so much about the boots them selves but what they have done) helping a newbie ironic examples of instant karma Oh yes Rhonda! Good smiles here. Nothing like the smile of a little child! I also love the smell of coffee brewing. And helping a newbie! Nothing like the feeling you get when a new person really "gets it"! Woot! Great post! PS - I looked up creme brulee. I have never tried it, but it looks delicious! Peace!

Hi Everyone! I started a thread in the "Old forums" About what makes you smile! I would love to hear about what makes you smile here too! So I have come up with 5 things that make me smile, and delight me here in Second Life! Here they are! 1. Teaching building classes at Help People Island, and at Happy Hippo Building School. I get my greatest joy here in Second Life from this. 2. Helping someone and knowing that they really "get it"! 3. Exploring Second Life with my lady and my love! 4. Building SL Spacecraft. 5. Hanging out with close friends. Ok that's my 5 things! Your Turn!! Go for it!

Good morning everyone! Hippie pokes the fire until it flames. Coffee is ready! Hippie sits back and takes a big sip of his coffee! Ahhh! Life is good! Peace!

Prokofy Neva wrote: Hm, calculated maneuver to dump on some people's projects? Hippie, when you use the all-purpose term "infohubs" I don't think you're distinguishing among four types of properties the Lindens run: 1. Welcome Areas -- most trafficked, most griefed 2. Orientation Areas 3. Linden Infohubs 4. Resident Developed Infohubs on Linden Lab I work on two infohubs, one which is part of the Resident Info Hubs in Ross and the other which is a Linden infohub Iris. The Resident Infohubs are the legacy of a 2005 Linden program to replace the old Telehubs with Infohubs designed by residents who owned property on them (you could either sell back your infohub land to the Lindens and be compensated, or opt to develop the land for public use). There are about 14 of them. All together there are about 40 of the Linden-owned infohubs, Linden properties (like the Governor's Mansion) and resident-made hubs. These should not be confused with the Welcome Areas like Moose Beach which are the most heavily trafficked because the new-user system currently routes everybody who skips orientation to these large areas -- people who go through orientation have the option to click on a notecard giver and be randomly delivered to one of the Linden or Resident infohubs. In my view, welcome areas are more griefed,more filled with jerks hanging out all day and annoying other people, trying to fly under the radar not to be banned, and "wall-sitters," cliques of people who hang out and chat. The Lindens have designated on Destinations some areas as "chat locations" to try to make virtue out of a necessity. It's a good thing that there are open public places like this in SL. But it seems that the Lindens simply don't have the manpower to police them and they easily fall prey to gangs. The resident-made infohubs are better kept up, more frequently updated and more orderly because there are residents at them invested in making and refreshing the content, helping people and also regularly abuse-reporting griefers. They don't have any special powers to ban anyone or anything like that, and are not in a guild like the old Mentors as Linden pretty much ignore them, but I think many people are happy with their resident infohub experience and come back frequently for visits or hang out. Many people indeed make friends at infohubs, I see it all the time. And even the more sleazy welcome areas are in fact places for people to make connections, like it or not. There needs to be better circuit-riding of Lindens through them, however. You are right Prokofy. I stand corrected! Peace!
