You know it's bad when even the mere mention of the name of the song gets it stuck in your head. And not just a little bit, it's the whole damn song. /me continues working on her time machine and a flaming bag of dog poop.

It keeps my mind busy and has made me so much better at compartmentalizing, i.e. keeping track of which friends I know and don't know on which avie I'm on at the moment so I can keep my stories straight. I've also discovered I'm a really good actress. Or a really good liar. Or both.

...I don't love to hate it, I just HATE it.

I have a pair of prim hands I use for photography. The HUD does have a feature to cycle through the static poses to give some illusion of natural movement but I really can't imagine wearing them just for that. I'd guess some people might, though? Hopefully someone, somewhere is hard at work making mesh hands that can do this and look more realistic.

/me cams all the way out to view the entire world map in which, after a moment's reflection, dubs "A Jumbled Mess".

Also, it's always been slightly confusing how you might know which continents are which. I mean, how would you know you're on Zindra? If not for all the fuss over it back then, how would the average SL person even know what/why/who? I always wondered why doesn't the viewer say something like Zindra: RandomSexyAdultSim (128 128 22) in the title bar so you'd know.

I wish such things were clearer. I remember having my skybox on a small plot of land and TPing to my favorite club every day to hang out. A couple of months later I realized that club was about 1 1/2 sims away and I probably could have jumped. When I first started SL and learned about the mainland, I had a dream that they had massive bridges that connected them and you had to walk from one continent to another and have hundreds of people to meet and chat with on both sides. Sadly, that's not the case.

I stated earlier in the thread that Firestorm came with RLV enabled which appears to be incorrect. My apologies... I must be one of those people who go through all the preferences on a fresh install and enables RLV without thinking about it. In fact, I'm willing to bet I'm one of those people who wishes RLV was more difficult to bypass. :smileytongue:

It sounds like a RLV thing. What Abigail was getting at is that someone might've given you an object like a ring, necklace, a rose, etc., and you attached it to your avie. From that point it's a matter of a couple of mouse clicks for someone else to remove your clothing, attachments and HUDs. It's just a silly prank and relatively easy to fix. Firestorm and Singularity (for example) come with RLV pre-enabled, if you're using one of these alternate viewers. Let us know which viewer you're using and we can provide instructions on how to disable RLV.

There's always PostSecret. And isn't a secret, by definition, meant to be kept a secret? ( Didja also know that if you see secret spelled enough times it starts to look really weird? )

I'm curious why you're using Gimp at all when you have Photoshop? Removing backgrounds is easy in PS. Yes, since you remove the background, photoshop will have the checkered background to indicate the former background is now a transparent part of the image. And, like Kenbro said, just drop your own background behind the dress layer and you're set. One easy way to remove a green screen from an image is to use the eyedropper to make the green the foreground color, then Select > Color Range and mess with the controls until you get a nice, crisp border, then maybe Select > Modify > Expand one pixel and hit Delete. Quick and easy. One thing; if this is the method you're using in Gimp with a white background, the reason your right side image is fading is because the selection process is taking away a bit of the whiteness from the dress as well(!). That's one reason to use the nasty green color of a greenscreen. A quick and dirty fix for that would be to duplicate the dress layer and add it to itself to get some of the color back. Hope this makes sense... it's almost 3 am here and I should have been asleep hours ago.

I'm bored too. This sucks.

...mm, okay. Come and get it.

The real question is will he be able to work anywhere and not be known as "DJ Poopiepants"?

Wow. Just... wow. I can't decide if that isn't the silliest thing I've ever heard of or if the 5L isn't just an incredible deal.

I've dreamed of running across a runway... I can't remember if that was the same dream with the giant crazed talking rabbits though.

By the way, since you claim to be "learning from your mistakes", maybe you should hire someone to redo your whole site. I'm pretty certain all that "traffic" you're so proud of are just people just going there to marvel at how ridiculously awful the layout is. :smileyvery-happy: Discussion open! ( see how effective that is? )

I have a propane-powered monkey -- it's a lot of fun but sometimes the tank gets in the way.

'Including Ninjas' That begs to be the name of a new punk album.

I think you'd do very well writing Haiku.

Here's me in my urban camouflage uniform. I've been pretty happy with the style and flexibility of this one... if you don't find what you need at Sunshine's place I'll be happy to share where to find this.

I'm SO in! Where do I send my money?

I thought it was a bit underwhelming. Waiting a few extra seconds after TPing someplace for everything to rez isn't exactly an unbearable thing. Having the option (option!) to cache an entire sim sounds interesting though.
