Thanks for nothing Linden Lab, ya feature the romance catagory, but I went to check the catagory in full today and find that my place has been completley removed for no reason...

Just a pity you guys never update it. 4 emails, and a new listing for Muirsheen Durkin to change it and nothing, long lists of dead destination spots, even more where the destination has completely changed...

To be honest i can see the point of the lab stepping back from "interacting". I now rarley go to Blakes Sea. The times i did go there was fun times, i admit that. However on the final few times i left with a feeling that the entrie area was govered by one massive clique who didnt like outsiders invading "their territory" even though Blakes was supposed to be for ALL people. On SEVERAL occaisions I dropped notecards on people with an interest to buy a plot of land on some of the private regions bordering Blakes. These plots was yellow on the map, had for sale signs on the land, but notecards dropped to community "leaders" of blake who ran and maintained those islands went unanswered, not just by one or two, but by ALL off them. I mentioned this several times to the lindens who I bumped into or i met at meetings...and i got the impression it wasn't the first time that an "outsider" of the blakes sea had complained to the Lab. Since then I have had little, to no interest in the Blakes Sea at all.

Just a quick post for the folks who have visited Brunel Hall from the destination guide...the internal furnishings of the hotel have been given a full makeover. As someone who popped into the hotel a ocuple of days ago said "There's restaurants, and then theres Brunel Hall" http://secondlife.com/destination/muirsheen-durkin-restaurant

Spotted this thread, thought id show some of the mesh stuff ive made... Brunel Hall Hotel in the Academy of Industry region of New Babbage. 120m long from bar to bathing pool, 50m tall, 70m from front to back. Entire building, floors, roof, walls and outside timbering details are all done in mesh, infact, the entire buildings structure is all in mesh. Sovereign House, my private home further up from Brunel Hall on the same sim (Academy of Industry) again, full mesh, walls, floor, roof etc etc....

Well i signed up for premium to use the sandboxes, and then less than 2 hours after i sign up you announce 50% off the quarterly. I';m gonna end up cancelling again and never going premium.

I tried out the beta search... Seriously, is the Lab actually WANTING to force out people with visual disabilities? Viewer 2 is bad enough with the low contrast text on the buttons, but this new search takes the biscuit, over cluttered results, overcluttered on the right with classified and even more clutter with the filters on the side. The current V2 search in use is cluttered but at least the text is somewhat readable. Thanks again for nothing LL...i now see why i cancelled my premium membership at the beginning of this month.

A little bit of the Steampunk Victorian lands has moved into one of the best known Teen sims in Second Life...the region of Epic. Looking for aplace to stay but dont want all the hassle of having to actually build something? The Queen Victoria Hotel has recently opened in the teen island of Epic, the island is ran by Fi Folland and Eros Foehammer. The hotel is ran by Victor1st Mornington, owner of the well known Brunel Hall Hotel of New Babbage and co-owner of The Doctor Who Expo. The Queen Victoria Hotel has an open TV room and Bar Lounge... ...and a swimming pool and sauna... Sitting on the edge of the sim it is still not too far away from various teen centric shops and malls that are dotted about the Epic sim. Room renters get a choice of over 70 wallpapers for their room, lockable doors, privacy windows and the sauna, TV, main sofas in the lounge and the hammock in the garden is all set to group so ONLY room renters can use them with their friends. Prices... Ground Floor Rooms: 75 prims - 150L Per Week Upper Floor Rooms: 100 Prims - 200L Per Week Save the hassle of having to build your own home...or simply stay for a while in late victorian elegance in a PG rated sim...visit The Queen Victoria Hotel! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Epic/214/98/21 For the fuller Victorian Steampunk experience, visit the original hotel...Brunel Hall... http://slurl.com/secondlife/Academy%20of%20Industry/66/68/121

Speaking as someone well known in the Doctor Who community in Second Life (im a co-owner of The Doctor Who Expo/Experience...Katrina sim) I can tell you that staffers from the BBC have frequently visited Second Life in the past. We've had folks from Big Finish Productions visit our sim and Katrina hosts the seasonal Doctor Who Podshock podcast parties as well and the BBC regularley visit the GE site which hosts podshock, so they know we are here. The difference between the BBC and major US companies like Disney, WB, Universal, Paramount etc etc is the BBC are more relaxed with the fan base, much more willing to interact with the fanbase rather than crush them with lawyers. The BBC know we are here, they have known for a fair amount of time now. In the bigger picture of things though the fan community in SL is small compared to the larger real life Dr Who fan groups that are out there.

Thanks Lighting and windlight in New Babbage during the winter snow period is a lot more lighter than it usually is. New Babbage is a heavy industry steampunk town...normally it looks like this during no snow... Thick smog...hence the tshirt.. "I visited New Babbage and all i got was this lousy hacking cough"

Thanks for the kind comments folks One more pic. About 500 metres above my home in Refugio is one of the two TARDISes i have as skyboxes. Fans of the show and folks who keep up to date with the new series will recognise this next picture of the main console room of my skybox...
