[The Haunted Halloween season is just around the corner — how will you celebrate?]

Nice! I will decorate the ELITE 3000 Second Life Centre Headquarters with Halloween decorations and of course will feature Halloween reports from Second Life and other virtual worlds on ELITE 3000 Today, a multi-virtual-world newscast on Youtube. We will do a special Halloween edition of ELITE 3000 Today, somewhere in late-October. Here is the video of last year's special Halloween edition of ELITE 3000 Today, with reports from Second Life. (NOTE: We used the temporary Second Life account Elite3000 Abbot, before Linden Labs restored Elite Runner that we mistakenely cancelled and thus contacted Support to restore Elite Runner).

The video was created on October 30, 2011 and was uploaded last Halloween (October 31, 2010)

[Support the Japan Earthquake & Pacific Tsunami Relief with Linden Dollars]

I placed donation boxes at my stores in Second Life and I'm selling a sign with a Japanese flag and text saying to pray for victims of the Japan tsunami/quake in English and Japanese. (I used Google Translate for the translation) for L$500 at the in-world stores at Little Blue Island and at City of Concord sims AND at the Second Life marketplace. We have a couple sales in the first hour since the launch so far, and willing to have many more before the weekend is over.

[[TIPS] Get the most out of your input devices!]

I'm searching the Future Shop website (Canadian electronics store, http://www.futureshop.ca) and I'm looking at Computer accessories > Gaming gear under Gaming pads and joysticks and noticed that the gaming pads sell between $19.99 - $77.99 CAD before taxes, and the joysticks, the cheapest avaliable is $32.99 CAD and the expensive one $500 CAD. I'm hoping it works for Second Life. I may try Zellers, Staples, Best Buy and Walmart for similar ones. I don't have to go to USA to go to Target, etc to shop, but Ima shop for gaming controls and/or joysticks for my computer to play Second Life (and maybe Garry's Mod when I play that game later on in 2011.) and maybe the Foot Switch as Torley Mentioned (I dunno if they have International shipping since I live in Canada thus the Canadian dollar is barely above parity (C$1.0000 CAD = US$1.0047 USD as of post))

[[VIDEO] Stop outfit conflicts, attach multiple objects to the same point!]

Once I tried viewer 2.x from the start, I got addicted to Viewer 2.x. I would never go back to viewer 1.x. Even with shared media, sidebar, and more recently, display names (Though Phoenix viewer took advantage of display names), and now multiple attachments, I never switch back to viewer 1.x because I'M ADDICTED TO VIEWER 2.x!

As for multiple attachments, it's kinda cool, as I monitor the speed, the region stats, and let me notify on updates to the Second Life grid status via http://status.secondlifegrid.net, and let me know about who's nearby, and tells me the region name when I cross region borders or when I teleport to another region or when I am close to the region border, so I can be cautious.

[Save the Date for Winterfest 2010!]

I'll be reporting on Second Life Winterfest 2010 CE/EY 1010 EE on ELITE 3000 Today, a multi-virtual world news show in which it includes reports from Second Life. It can be found on the ELITE 3000 Youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/rynprov and I will be interviewing SL Residients on Winterfest 2010 once the event is underway.
