Your not serious?

Natalie Oe — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:43:53 GMT

Ok I am all for helping people, actually I've spent alot of my secondlife doing just that, I did the whole live helper & mentor thing ect.

I came across a review on one of my texture packs recently where the customer purchased the pack, a pack which has sample pictures of every texture in that pack, these aren't tiny samples either, you can clearly see them.

Then they complain because A) a certain colour isn't in the pack, which they could clearly see and read wasn't before they even purhased them but then they also say the following "you could have also provided instructions on how to make these textures aswell"

I think not, What would be the point of me running a texture business if I am going to tell everyone else how to make those specific textures?

I am happy to share advice with you, give you tips ect but I'm not going to tell you step by step how to create a certain product.....

Plz haz helping paw ?

VISA PROGRESS

Lily Joliat — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 19:07:50 GMT

Well my visa is in the hands of the authorities (if you've seen Yes Minister that would make this extra funny). I loved the wording of this email, had to share "Your package has arrived safely at the British Consulate in Los Angeles and due to the high volume of mail received at this time of year, has just been opened." It's been three days, some poor kid receptionist or civil servant has a stack of mail higher than him, or he's just like Humphries and Bernard and there are just too many civil servants and no one works.
Anyway I have been told in this email "All settlement applications will be processed within 12 weeks (60 working days) as published on the UKVisas website. At present, the visa section in Los Angeles is processing these applications within 40-45 working days" and "Please do not contact this office unless we have exceeded any of these time frames."
And I am to wait on pins and needles for the next 10 working days if they have reached a decision that they need further assessment. If everything is a 0k which I don't think it is because I have been reading nothing but negative commentary online about visa tales, I should know sooner. Confusing? yessss...

I know this is really really wrong and I don't mean to insult hard working migrant workers, but my mother gave one 40 bucks today to do yardwork and he can go to a free clinic with his wife and numerous kids and I imagine Britain has the same problems with illegal immigrants. Its sad for both sides, but the irony of my situation isn't lost, spoiled as it is, but I too am working hard to legally do everything and go through hoops and at the moment and not until I am legally able in the UK do I have any health insurance. That's another issue.

At Long Last Updated Photos and new News

Lily Joliat — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 04:03:42 GMT

I updated my flickr page with all my good Newcastle photos: Cali Girl goes to Newcastle - a set on Flickr

On the newsfront I'm trying to get my fiance visa. I've paid ($1000) and filled out the application. I've been fingerprinted and photographed. Next I have to get my papers and Velm/Peter's:
my current and old passport, bank statements for last 3 months, written invitation from sponsor, copy of his passport and evidence of his current accomodation and work.
Evidence of my address, utility bills which I don't have but will manage something else. Evidence of my relationship with Peter:phone records, emails. I have to find emails that aren't filthy or calling me Lily from way back. Anyway, sending all these papers to the British Consulate on Tuesday. Hope I have enough money in the bank to satisfy them. So good vibes or black magic are welcome. So close yet So far still...

Eiffel Tower

mcgeeb Gupte — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 05:17:03 GMT

I've wanted to do this since 2007. Finally after 2 years, I had enough land (1/4 SIM). That just fits the Eiffel Tower.

I started the 1st of September and still have a long way to go even after a month.

Never before have I used so much math. I just hope I can last another month or so before I lose my mind.

Not sure how these blogs work, but trying it out. I thought it would be fun to see the progress of this rather tall build which will be over 300 meters tall.

Frustrated....

Fmeh — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:00:22 GMT

I have been growing increasingly frustrated and depressed about the potential future of Second Life.

It has taken me 3 years to really get fully acquainted with Second Life in a way that really truly makes it feel like a second life. I've made so many friends in SL. I've found some interesting ways of creating things in Second Life that does exactly what I've always wanted to do in a graphics engine. The only thing I haven't done is created a terrain--but I'd have to have a lot of money to do that.

I have been DJing on a regular basis, this last Friday night I made over L$5,400 in tips at just one event. It has been wonderful.

So many great things have been happening for me in Second Life.

But then the IP theft court issue creeps its way into the forums, and I, like an idiot, read it. I should know better, I worry about things unnecessarily--but lately the turns it has taken really makes it seem like something that could destroy the experience of Second Life for a lot of people, and if Blue Mars takes off like it looks like it is going to, Second Life could be rendered mostly obsolete in the matter of a year, with only a few hundred to possibly a couple thousand stranglers left over, probably half of them being traffic bots LOL

I try to view this in as positive of a way as I know how, but it has been really difficult. Ignorance is bliss, and there hasn't been a time where I've wished I DIDN'T know about something more than now, quite frankly. I wish I didn't know about Blue Mars, and I wish I didn't know a damn thing about the IP theft court cases. It has been ruining my experience in Second Life.

I just needed to rant about this. Thanks for reading if you have.

Newcastle Itenerary

Lily Joliat — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:37:35 GMT

So far we've done lots of walking through Newcastle. Saw the Millenium Bridge move, which they do every day at noon. Had a drive through the country to Alnwick in Northumbria for the food festival. Sampled enough for an army and picked up some Spanish cheese, local artisan beer, Italian olives, pastas, Ginger Wine, savory pork and meat pies. Had a walk around the castle gardens, including a poison plant section and a tree house with rope bridges which will make you seasick if a boy is behind you jumping up and down. Went to the Grainger Market where I feel at home because it reminds me of the Ferry Building Farmer's Market in San Francisco without the pretentiousness. Even had a stroll through a cemetery in blustery windy weather. oooo.
Later we'll do Whitley Bay, see the Angel of the North and art museums, Durham Castle, and the piece de resistence: Meet the Faulkers (Velm's parents).
More photos have been posted and more to follow.
Thank you very much for your well wishes and support, it makes me very happy to be a part of the SLU Community and get to share my story. Sorry to Cristiano that I haven't used snapzilla yet but here's the flickr link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildone...7622402590132/

This is a handcrafted message full of gelassenheit.
