Another Feature Gone Wrong

Another Feature Gone Wrong

Sweetie and I have an unfortunate compulsion to recaption songs. We've done thousand together.

I know, I know, I know, it’s a vice. But we’re weak. We give in to it.

And it’s not like there’s such a thing as Songtweakers Anonymous?

Is there?

Is there?

Oh, there is! But there’s not one close, is there?

Oh.

Well, that’s not close enough.

Sweetie, hyperkinetic sprite that she is, tends to bounce off the walls at bedtime. One of my jobs is to help her wind down. I must refrain from introducing new topics lest she ramp up and go off on a tear that will keep her up half the night and make her testy with me the next morning..

So I had to bite my tongue night-before-last when these words began to run through my head. It was all I could do not to blurt them out.

This one is for all you Second Life Luddites.

Another Feature Gone Wrong

We don’t need no av imposters
We don’t need no render glow
We don’t want more laggy features
Leave our interface alone
Hey! Lindens!
Interface alone!
All in all it’s just
Another feature gone wrong

We don’t need Windlight enhancements
We don’t want no fancy skies
We all love our blocky pixels
Leave our interface alone
Hey! Lindens!
Interface alone!
All in all it’s just
Another feature gone wrong

We don’t need no stinking Dazzle
We don’t need no fancy screens
Give us more prims on our islands
Leave our interface alone
Hey! Lindens!
Interface alone!
All in all it’s just
Another feature gone wrong

(And p.s., please bring back Friends!)

In fact, now that there is a Nicholaz Windlight version again, I used it a bit and render-glow is in fact quite nice.

If used as every spice should: carefully.

I'm using the Nicholaz Windlight viewer. When Dazzle goes to the main viewer, we need to prevail upon Nicholaz to do one last viewer. :)

If I can figure out how to slap down the graphics elements of Dazzle, I'll be able to do custom interface skins.

I'm working on it... slowly.
