More than ten years ago, when Sweetie and I visited the pub of our friend Hunny Spiritweaver, the DJ on duty was Annie Mesmeriser. We made brief acquaintance that night and other nights when she was spinning, but went our separate ways. <div><br /></div><div>Then, a few years ago, and this time I don't remember where, Annie and I met again. This time we became fast friends. I showed her our regions and for some months Annie hosted dances at the platform 1850 meters above Whimsy. That platform had no name until Annie suggested one: Chey's Lounge. That's a pun, I say, that's a pun, son. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3h2Fxj7HLQQ5dj5WSdgzPAlkrPx9TxJgFfcpAWvbL-JPaczlENEHHjBbR-qMLh5Sn-hHSXSWsc_2TVPKCz6gLyWwB5WS2txDjYJ7pu8zg69K8UFTqwMN-s99wXQtMFRWeIPnLetC3G-ZJhRxquwmIGe7frZVJGqm1QF6yXj_Iyfbvp_30fEVAeN_Yd2Y/s1920/Chey's%20Lounge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1009" data-original-width="1920" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3h2Fxj7HLQQ5dj5WSdgzPAlkrPx9TxJgFfcpAWvbL-JPaczlENEHHjBbR-qMLh5Sn-hHSXSWsc_2TVPKCz6gLyWwB5WS2txDjYJ7pu8zg69K8UFTqwMN-s99wXQtMFRWeIPnLetC3G-ZJhRxquwmIGe7frZVJGqm1QF6yXj_Iyfbvp_30fEVAeN_Yd2Y/w640-h335/Chey's%20Lounge.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Chey's Lounge</b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtc2Aoku2XuqJ8SsM_simyFAR-MW9eD_pnn5182dr_PlaWOxe6dV4zAsKBb4tjihmfdVxRDzefen9dyLkvu7HBzDvxepqn5hIkywoWuIoKhzCaprCwPXNAdj-euWWUnZnaMslJxap9DLZIwb4Zha3WsNkmXO5BYZgfMacHSBiCtOMnNBnz2so4NGSBjbk/s1000/Chaise%20Lounge.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtc2Aoku2XuqJ8SsM_simyFAR-MW9eD_pnn5182dr_PlaWOxe6dV4zAsKBb4tjihmfdVxRDzefen9dyLkvu7HBzDvxepqn5hIkywoWuIoKhzCaprCwPXNAdj-euWWUnZnaMslJxap9DLZIwb4Zha3WsNkmXO5BYZgfMacHSBiCtOMnNBnz2so4NGSBjbk/w387-h387/Chaise%20Lounge.webp" width="387" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>Chaise Lounge, Indeed.

I liked the machine so much I bought one for myself. </div><div><br /></div><div>Two years ago, Annie moved her Texas Rose listening room to the northeast corner of Whimsy. There, late on Wednesday nights, she hosts what I can only describe as a salon for music. She spins tunes of her choosing and caps the night with an album while she and a small group of loyal listeners enjoy her selections and chat among ourselves--often about music and musicians, but really about everything and anything--and then sometimes we just listen in silence. I can only describe these weekly delights as a musical salon. Her visitors are music lovers with extensive knowledge and personal histories, and the banter is witty and informative. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAeFBAuz7XcpOfjs1WxLaWfPByIsR5oBccSempgI2ldalr5OR-yh7g5zmK1Ux6GM9q_rAbAA3K7lYdh308sMLlwAgPUKMMDlJdLRzqkioup8pzRDUqfEMfq9Q5Vrke3fg7FFTxjZCe8dHS2-BGAgW72aFXgGkM3ThlCRn4Cg9Brf8NTs_94QgSnJM8TPg/s1920/Annie's%20Texas%20Road%20House,%20002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1009" data-original-width="1920" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAeFBAuz7XcpOfjs1WxLaWfPByIsR5oBccSempgI2ldalr5OR-yh7g5zmK1Ux6GM9q_rAbAA3K7lYdh308sMLlwAgPUKMMDlJdLRzqkioup8pzRDUqfEMfq9Q5Vrke3fg7FFTxjZCe8dHS2-BGAgW72aFXgGkM3ThlCRn4Cg9Brf8NTs_94QgSnJM8TPg/w640-h336/Annie's%20Texas%20Road%20House,%20002.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6DDCsWX1g35MQjcx7UMFV_heQpZ6gC03_Zd3f9Tz3TAUyABWZyRmlwlGb0HqGLnYEsimW63BOJLDraUiZ0qZSZXdeKW_-jZ-kKkGHRF5GorY1MskSQKehYeBSo5Cp0qJ5639QkJeVRWH3qtGf2YhpvBLIbejq0t_8Vtm6XRYsuP97gwxZCQCN3ZuOgg/s1920/Annie's%20Texas%20Road%20House,%20003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1009" data-original-width="1920" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6DDCsWX1g35MQjcx7UMFV_heQpZ6gC03_Zd3f9Tz3TAUyABWZyRmlwlGb0HqGLnYEsimW63BOJLDraUiZ0qZSZXdeKW_-jZ-kKkGHRF5GorY1MskSQKehYeBSo5Cp0qJ5639QkJeVRWH3qtGf2YhpvBLIbejq0t_8Vtm6XRYsuP97gwxZCQCN3ZuOgg/w640-h336/Annie's%20Texas%20Road%20House,%20003.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwaZm1KGvOA7l8MZcNjplj66T-BnuXhq9190h_KffZOENDmYmdLp3zQgsOk73CdMMLMRiCjkXAQOZfIYBSfkwtn4hyphenhyphenGex46Zwcb5DQEnIPMGBfU-nGPGjMgysBiDpiNVMR3vm6E47U3pCQJtzrza7YtS3WUCrUmeMezaBQUXgjIcpqbL9SQLtSf99Iv1I/s1920/Annie's%20Texas%20Road%20House,%20004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1009" data-original-width="1920" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwaZm1KGvOA7l8MZcNjplj66T-BnuXhq9190h_KffZOENDmYmdLp3zQgsOk73CdMMLMRiCjkXAQOZfIYBSfkwtn4hyphenhyphenGex46Zwcb5DQEnIPMGBfU-nGPGjMgysBiDpiNVMR3vm6E47U3pCQJtzrza7YtS3WUCrUmeMezaBQUXgjIcpqbL9SQLtSf99Iv1I/w640-h336/Annie's%20Texas%20Road%20House,%20004.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Check out the delicious decor!

His name was Eyeclectic. He was wearing a steampunk top hat and was fascinated with the little area behind the sea deck on Whimsy Kaboom. There I have a little wooden pen with two cute little animated piglets I picked up at Jian and a splendid vegetable garden from Golden Years Stormfront in the Tableau region.</p><p><b>Warning! Aside Coming!</b></p><p>Let me just say I adore Tableau! My first visit, many years ago was immediately after the big volcano erupted and ate the sim and Tableau had been redecorated as a desert. I wish I had seen that! I've always been obsessed with virtual volcanoes, as you will know if you have ever visited Whimsy. If you've NOT visited, Whimsy, please do. Pele is a peaceful goddess of destruction and rebirth and will not harm you. I promise.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvtIDuyL4aUS5YYB_mifrXTfrAl9yaDX-nRjtWZIeni3PPL0N5liHlm6zNhxVBD7ozFD0skPfO0ghtwKeEJurFkHPtKijevMlBVPVtTlJI9XNxzpBB6BUBdvXqpxvLeuEC007_Hzp4CMC2IYhhMtUgMU7vwcJBUSZ3NFGhZ48oUy5hjE-1vKC-kAsD/s1920/Snapshot_004.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1009" data-original-width="1920" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvtIDuyL4aUS5YYB_mifrXTfrAl9yaDX-nRjtWZIeni3PPL0N5liHlm6zNhxVBD7ozFD0skPfO0ghtwKeEJurFkHPtKijevMlBVPVtTlJI9XNxzpBB6BUBdvXqpxvLeuEC007_Hzp4CMC2IYhhMtUgMU7vwcJBUSZ3NFGhZ48oUy5hjE-1vKC-kAsD/w640-h336/Snapshot_004.png" title="Hollywood Has No Patent on Hillside Signs" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Hollywood Isn't The Only Place With a Sign in the Hills</b></div><p>So, continuing my aside about Tableau, it's wonderfully put together, and I love the stores there. It's the place to shop if you're looking for an aged avatar or a luxury septum ring or kitschy sunglasses or a tiara. I really miss the Paper Couture store. As its name implies, the clothing there feels like actual couture. Fortunately, although the store is gown, the products remain. Just search Ava Lui's store on SL Marketplace.</p><p><b>End of Aside</b></p><p>Whew! Now that aside's out of the way, I'll tell you about Eye. He sends a good deal of time on Whimsy and Kaboom because he takes the time to experience it. Sometimes visitors breeze through and miss the humor and the beauty and the lights and the sounds and the interactivity. I suspect they're much the same way in real life. The go through life without ever actually experiencing it.</p><p>Eye is pleasant and eccentric, which is just the way I like 'em. He is particularly enamored by two things on the land: Callie (more popularly known as Nessie), our traveling sea monster. Callie is a bit irritable when avatars approach her, but I think she likes Eye. He's still with us, so she must! You can try your own luck with Callie; just visit Whimsy Kaboom at ground level and eventually you'll see her swim by. Don't miss the many humpback whales and other wildlife while you're there.</p><p>The other thing Eye loves is the Whimsy train. In real life he operates a nonprofit called Hearts Coming Together which features Love Train journeys. He often recreates those rides on Whimsy, and it does my heart proud.</p><p>In my next posts, I'll link to two videos Eye created that feature the Whimsy train.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq2Rwf4D2aUxppYlftWh9BE6DECSYVFjc_5x1VpswhrSnq7qJKyWOOtmeay9wik8S_otXmfACL-XV-FzPBTRr766jwp2ds_GIpUjR3xA3CkNKmVagHjbWjGHzGok63iNW43PeYiCo9-Nt42xevwu_P9DzWB43stzUvzzJqXk04lm-2B2CAR_X7Wqxw/s1920/Snapshot_002.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1009" data-original-width="1920" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq2Rwf4D2aUxppYlftWh9BE6DECSYVFjc_5x1VpswhrSnq7qJKyWOOtmeay9wik8S_otXmfACL-XV-FzPBTRr766jwp2ds_GIpUjR3xA3CkNKmVagHjbWjGHzGok63iNW43PeYiCo9-Nt42xevwu_P9DzWB43stzUvzzJqXk04lm-2B2CAR_X7Wqxw/w640-h336/Snapshot_002.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>You Just Know These Guys Will Play Havoc With the Garden If They Manage to Escape!</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP8czuXctulpA5PAX5kNGixHhXNfnJnRkn8nIWvNJmlkXqnfyNaUpPJcFJf_dZ0PKlj1lXkfJW7ZQ1hNQO55AWtDKzTG3XvB8cA7c-3dmf2HOqFyVPJL5psopwQLaI1YVGIsxYgFFgpA8EcC6lVnp8abeOEUm55LKKlRNjcUOwTW8_gWiJsIWE3M64/s1920/Snapshot_003.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1009" data-original-width="1920" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP8czuXctulpA5PAX5kNGixHhXNfnJnRkn8nIWvNJmlkXqnfyNaUpPJcFJf_dZ0PKlj1lXkfJW7ZQ1hNQO55AWtDKzTG3XvB8cA7c-3dmf2HOqFyVPJL5psopwQLaI1YVGIsxYgFFgpA8EcC6lVnp8abeOEUm55LKKlRNjcUOwTW8_gWiJsIWE3M64/w640-h336/Snapshot_003.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Cheyenne Palisadeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857731023321638792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780662684766869666.post-35144675044889023192020-06-01T02:23:00.002-04:002020-06-01T02:23:28.948-04:00Night Rains on Whimsy Kaboom<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Here I am on Whimsy, Wearing Kunglers' (not Kungler's) Halime Necklace</h3>
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I have quite a few outfits from a store called Kungler's. I did a search and jumped there-- I thought.<br />
<br />
Wait a minute! Kungler's is-- or at least was-- a clothing store. Now it seemed to sell only jewelry. And nice jewelry, at that. I bought a couple of pieces.<br />
<br />
Back at home, I realized the names of the stores were subtly different: Kungler's (clothing) vs Kunglers (jewelry) I inspected an old Kungler's outfit and then a necklace. Onyx Leshelle sold the Kungler's clothing. If that name is familiar, it's because Onyx is the main force behind Maitreya.<br />
<br />
The Kunglers (no apostrophe) line of jewelry is made by AvaGardner Kungler. Different person. Mystery solved.<br />
<br />
My new jewelry makes use of materials and looks great.<br />
<br />
The store looks great, too.You can find it <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Accidentally%20Inlove/167/65/24" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I'm glad I went back to the old build of Firestorm Social Island. Why? Because I not only took lots of great photos to share, I snagged the creator and name of the big blue house.<br />
<br />
It's the Martinica, from Bahia Tiki. The FS folks made some modifications, taking out the front and rear doors and partitions between the rooms, adding a rear entry, and removing the fireplace and chimney, but otherwise it's the same house. It sells for $2450L.<br />
<br />
Sweetie likes it, and so do I, and there's a chance we'll buy it for our own use. I'm unsure whether it will go on the ground or in the sky; if the latter, we'll need to find a nice tropical landscape upon which to place it.<br />
<br />
Here (below the fold) are a few photos of the house as it will look when purchased. Click on the images to view them in all their glory.<br />

As it happened, I came on board the Firestorm team at a time of change. Less than a month after I became a volunteer, the team did a redesign of the Social Island. Little was left untouched.<br />
<br />
We volunteers were encouraged to visit and comment upon the new design, and many of us did. It was more open than the original and featured an Experience gateway that shunts avatars to the different Firestorm regions. Some of the same content was present, but some, including the main house, were gone.Some of us liked it, some of us didn't.<br />
<br />
The new region went live four or five days ago, and a lot of the regular visitors were shocked. I could understand. the region had been stable for years. The Gateway was the first experience or a very early experience for many of them, and some had set it for their home when new. It was familiar and safe, and suddenly, now, it was different.<br />
<br />
I tried the old landmark today, and there was the old familiar gateway. I looked around one last time and teleported to the new gateway. I encountered some friends there; they were wanting to say goodbye to the old place. I told them I had been there, but believed that was because of my volunteer tag. I gave my friend Mimi the old landmark, and she was back in a minute or so, having been teleported to the new region within seconds of entering the old one.<br />
<br />
The best I could do was promise those present I would go back and take photos and post them in my blog. That made people happy as one reason for their wanting to revisit was because they had never managed to take pictures.<br />
<br />
I hope the 50+ photos that follow in this and upcoming posts will help to preserve the memory of the old place. The first twelve are below the line. Click the images to zoom them.<br />

The Firestorm viewer is insanely popular in Second Life. It offers rock stable performance and a host of handy features missing from Linden Lab's official Second Life viewer. I and most of my friends use Firestorm.<br />
<br />
The Firestorm team operates a block of island regions. The team holds its meetings there, but the purpose of the grids is to provide welcoming space for new residents. Volunteers greet new folks by name, answer questions, provide suggestions, and direct them to locations on and off the Firestorm islands. The intent is to encourage retention-- to provide a service that results in a larger percentage of new folks remaining in Second Life.<br />
<br />
I found the old welcome areas like Olive, Plum, Hanja, Murray, and Governor Linden's mansion anything but welcoming. Older residents hung out there to socialize, and many came just to rag on or misdirect new folks. Some older residence, including myself, would visit to assist the new people, but we were distinctly in the minority.<br />
<br />
A while back---I'm not sure just when, but certainly earlier than 2016, Linden Lab began cooperative ventures with Second Life organizations to shunt new accounts to them. Areas like New London and the Firestorm appeared, with content designed for new folks-- and the Lindens send new accounts to them upon their exit from Orientation Island.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if the Lindens provided regions for free or at reduced cost to these new ventures, but I suspect so and certainly hope so. Firestorm's seven regions at today's tier would cost about $2500 USD just for tier. That's a considerable expense! Bravo to Linden Lab if they're giving the welcome areas a financial break!<br />

The Original Firestorm Social Island From the Air</h3>
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
When, several months ago, I began spending more time in world, I took myself to some of the old welcome areas, and then to New London, and, finally, to Firestorm Social Island. After my absence many of my friends were gone. I had lost touch with many of those who remained. Even before my furlough from Second Life I had been spending almost all my time at Whimsy, building, scripting, tweaking. It was time to get out.<br /><br />
Purchase of my Maitreya Lara body provided some impetus for getting away from Whimsy. One reason for my low level of activity had to do with the Lindens breaking all my old school shoes. I was ambivalent about mesh bodies until Bakes on Mesh was announced. That proved a deal maker for me. Suddenly I was back in world and focused, for the first time in a long while, on something other than Whimsy.<br />
<br />
It helped that Whimsy had been rolling along for some years with hardly a hiccup. It still looked and ran great, and every script I wrote back in 2009 was still running merrily along, doing whatever silly or absurd things I had designed it to do. So Whimsy would be fine while I looked into some avatar modification.<br />
<br />
I liked Firestorm Social Island from the get-go. It was attractive, and there was a good mix of new and old folks. Best of all, no one hassled the newbies. When volunteers were absent, and sometimes when they were present, non-helpers, including myself, would chip in to assist.<br />
<br />
Two important things happened from my visits. Well, make that three. First, I was having a good time. Second, I was making friends with some of the regulars. And three, Dorrie Bellman suggested I file an application to become an assistant. Dorrie is HR Manager for the Firestorm Gateway.<br />
<br />
I thought about Dorrie's suggestion for a few days, and then filled out the form. After filling out a second form. two meetings with Dorrie in voice, and a two-hour group meeting to learn about procedures and tools, I became an assistant. A few weeks later I became a full-fledged assistant.<br />
<br />
Helping others comes natural for me. That's what I did in real life, after all. I'm quite good at not letting others get me riled, which is handy when dealing with griefers or people who are just unpleasant, I'm good at banter, and I type 100 words per minute. Best of all, I know, from my long tenure in Second Life, the answer to many questions that routinely pop up, and when I don't know something, I generally know what to do to figure it out.<br />
<br />
My time commitment is a very reasonable two hours a week. I wear the Firestorm Helper tag when going to the regions, check in via group chat when I arrive, and check out when I leave. I don't yet have the ability to rez objects or the HUD that will give me the ability to relocate people who refuse to follow Firestorm's fairly liberal rules. but that will happen in time.<br />
<br />
Even a two hour weekly commitment is significant in Second Life, but I doubt it will be a problem for me. I can come and go as I please, just so long as I exceed two hours. That suits me just fine. I'm enjoying myself.<br />

Quite a few regions in the older areas of the mainland display text or images on the world map. I'm not certain just how that happens.<br />
<br />
Here's a snapshot of the map around Natoma, home of the ancient and well-known and awesome Ivory Tower of Prims. Check out the Mad Magazine Spy v. Spy cartoon on Natoma itself!<br />
<br />
When Whimsy was new I put various textures on 256 x 256 meter prims and set them at various heights. I would wait a couple of days, and then pull up the map. None ever affected the map.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if there's a trick involved or whether, perhaps, the ability to manipulate the map in this way has been removed by the Lindens. I've no idea who I could talk to who would be able to tell me.<br />
<br />
I do know I'm going to Natoma later today. I'll fly up to 4100 meters and fall all the way to the ground with mouselook on and invisibles highlighted. Perhaps before I go splat at 20 meters I will have solved the mystery.Cheyenne Palisadeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857731023321638792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780662684766869666.post-53051138704827412002020-05-26T03:17:00.001-04:002020-05-26T03:17:04.912-04:00Looking for a B<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last night Sweetie and I were chasing Stay at Home Club freebies (more about Stay at Home Club in my next post!).<br />
<br />
One store had the row of magic chairs pictured above. When we walked past, two were set to S, for Sweetie. I'm unsure, what with her spy connections and all, whether Sweetie arranged it beforehand or whether the shop owner was just trying to bribe her. I don't know; maybe both. She promptly sat in them and got free outfits. One of the chairs she sat in shuffled and came up with C, and I sat in the chair and got a free outfit.<br />
<br />
After a while another C came up and I got my second outfit. The chair then shuffled up a question mark, which means anyone can sit and win-- so I sat and got a third outfit.<br />
<br />
The woman to my left had a first name that started with B. She was standing in the same spot when we arrived, and was still there when we left the store--and we were there for a while. I kept checking the chairs, and not a single B showed up. I hope she eventually got an outfit.<br />
<br />
For those who might not have encountered magic chairs, they randomly generate letters or numbers and announce them in chat and in text on the chair. If the first letter of your first name (or, for people born after 2010, only name), matches, you can sit in the chair and get a price.<br />
<br />
I wonder if the B woman understood the rules. I feel a little bad about sitting in the chair with the question mark, but I'm not losing sleep over it.<br />

Over at the Firestorm regions, a cute little teddy named Vin is taking photos of the many assistants who help newcomers.<br />
<br />
While Vin was taking my photo in front of this green screen, I of course took a few photos myself.<br />

The other day, as I was writing a post about wildlife, it occurred to me that other than humans, there are no primates on either Whimsy or Kaboom.<br />
<br />
I looked in my inventory for the coconut-throwing monkeys Dodgeguy Woodward gave me back in 2007, but they didn't show up. They would be very old school on the land now, so I went shopping at the SL Marketplace. I found something called Attack Monkey and bought it for 50 or so Lindens.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure of the species, but the attack monkey looks like the New World capuchins, the proverbial organ grinder monkeys. Capuchins are seen frequently in television and in movies.<br />
<br />
But what made it an "attack" monkey? It just sat there, unmoving. It didn't seem to be animated in any way.<br />
<br />
Until, that is, I noticed an invisible prim that was shaped like a rug attached to it. Having a feeling, I walked toward the monkey. Suddenly it was screeching and bouncing all around me.<br />
<br />
It was an attack monkey indeed!<br />
<br />

Yesterday we had a fireworks show on Whimsy. Like the last show, some years ago, we built a platform on the western shore of Whimsy and set off fireworks over the ocean, on Whimsy Kaboom. The show went off without a hitch, and the fireworks were gorgeous. Waves of light reflected from the ground and onlooking avatars as shells exploded, and the sounds of the rockets and explosions seemed to come from everywhere.<br />

<br />
When I came to Second Life animals were rudimentary. Made of prims, they were often blocky and usually stationary. Most animals that moved made slow circles around a central point. Circling birds, y'all. Circling fish.<br />
<br />
SL's animals continue to evolve (Darwin would be proud). They became sculpts, and now most are mesh. A few are animesh. Scripts, and as a result, behavior, are far more complex and less predicable.<br />
<br />
Whimsy still features a few circling birds and fish, just for old time's sake, but it's chock-full of complex animal life in the air, on the land, and under the sea. The photo above shows the underside of Kaikou Splash's great whale shark as it hovers above an underwater research station on Kaboom.<br />
<br />

<br />
Kaboom has a pod of humpbacks--maybe eight by now, and it's fascinating to watch and listen to their vocalizations. They, too, were made by Kaikou Splash--as was Kaboom's rideable giant skate.<br />
<br />

<br />
I like to watch the whales from the Kaboom's sea deck and below the sea, but they're particularly striking from above. This shot features three whales, a squid, an octopus, an assortment of unidentifiable wildlife, and, center right, just past the humpback, me. I didn't back far enough out of the shot. I love to pan across the region, looking straight down, and one of these days I'm going to make a video showing that.<br />
<br />

Kaboom has lots more undersea wildlife--dolphins, sharks of various kinds, turtles, jellyfish, squid, octopii, crabs, and an assortment of fish, all moving in semi-random ways, looking and behaving much like their real world counterparts.<br />

On the surface you'll find Callie the Sea Monster, who patrols the region. She gets upset when approached too closely, so consider this your warning. Callie was made by Virginia Tombola.<br />

<br />
In the air above Kaboom you'll find an assortment of birds-- albatrosses, parrots, and gulls, mostly. I'd love to add the full variety of Darwin's finches, but I doubt anyone has bothered to make them. What a great learning experience that could be, with a HUD that would identify all the species and talk about adaptive radiation!<br />

Kaboom, like Earth, is mostly water, but it, like Earth, has its share of insects, reptiles, and mammals. This mantis has sat quietly for years awaiting its prey. Note the big monitor lizard in the background. The monitor is hoping to snag one of the dragonflies that hover over the sea decks.<br />

<br />
These sea otters, also from Jian, are equally cute. You can find them beside the sea deck on Kaboom.<br />
<br />
Something you won't see much of on Kaboom are songbirds. You can hear them everywhere, but there are none to see. That's because Kaboom is a Homestead sim with only one-fifth the prim allowance of a full region. I think it might be time to allot a few prims for finches. What do you think?<br />

<br />
So, a couple of months ago, after five years mostly away from Second Life, I became active again.<br />
<br />
I was behind on a lot of things, and it's taken me a while to get up to speed. It was, thankfully, like riding a bike. You just climb on again. After some practice, I'm writing scripts without problem these days (well, there's an occasional problem, as there's still a lot about scripting that I don't understand), but mostly things work right off the bat, bar a misplaced semicolon or two. I've gotten my settings in Firestorm mostly worked out, and I added a mesh body and have learned more or less how to use it. I can safely say, at least for now, I'm ba-ack!<br />
<br />
Whimsy fared well while I was away. I had to come in world a couple of times to track down and reset Kitto Flora's little train, and again to find and fix the glass robot hand that dispenses tickets to the cinema at the robot sanatorium, but otherwise, everything was still working. It felt good to see complex scripts I wrote seven or eight years ago and running all the while still chugging along.<br />
<br />
Most of my script problems had to do with movement. Occasionally, perhaps, Second Life wobbles, or there's a rounding error, or the sim resets mid-movement, and teleport signs and objects that move back and forth get a bit out of position. I solved that problem by setting home twice after each movement. Once was all that was needed theoretically, but not actually. Before I added the second command the teleport board at the Whimsy entrance would eventually become misaligned, but it's been perfectly aligned for years now.<br />
<br />
I picked up a free Genus head when the company was giving them away prior to going out of business, but haven't put it on yet. I'm in no hurry. I rather like the head I have--but there will come a day when I'll put it on and lose a couple of weeks trying to figure it out and get the look I want.<br />
<br />
My plan was to document this no-doubt-boring-to-anyone-who-wasn't-me business, but I got behind, and frankly, I'm glad, for I wasn't looking forward to it. So now I'm looking forward rather than backward. That's the plan, at least.<br />
<br />
Several unexpected things have happened since my return. One, I'm now an official helper on the Firestorm islands. My job is to greet new residents, assist them, and reduce their confusion so perhaps they'll log back in a second time and maybe even stay in Second Life.<br />
<br />
The job requirements weren't much of a stretch, as that's exactly what I've been doing for more than ten years now. I would from time to time make my rounds of the old Welcome areas and help new people. That was especially needed, as most were in fact Unwelcome areas, with groups of older residents gathering to socialize and ignore or belittle or even grief new folks. I couldn't stop the bad behavior, but I could at least reassure new folks and direct them to places like New Citizens, Inc. that WOULD make them welcome. Some of those new folks became friends and remain friends to these days.<br />
<br />
I'll be quick to say this isn't altruism on my part. It's entirely selfish. I want as many people as possible to stay in Second Life so it will stay around. I would hate for the grid to just disappear some day, like Habitat, Blue Mars, High Fidelity, and so many other virtual worlds!<br />

One consequence of hanging out at Firestorm Social Island was I met people. Spending all my time on Whimsy building or scripting isn't a great way to make social connections, but the Firestorm islands turned out to be a great for that. I now have new friends as well as other old-timers like myself, and we gather weekly for dances--how fortuitous in this day of social distancing!Cheyenne Palisadeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857731023321638792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780662684766869666.post-58222472032433495992020-04-19T14:02:00.002-04:002020-05-22T13:25:05.328-04:00Adventures in Mesh Bodies, Part IX: Conclusion<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
I won't say I'm completely comfortable with my Maitreya Lara mesh body, but I can say I have more or less figured things out.<br />
<br />
I've gone through all of my outfits and fixed the broken shoes and made Bakes on Mesh versions of most of them. With BOM I can wear legacy outfits and use the olive-toned skin I've preferred since 2006. I look just the same, with a few exceptions. On the positive side, my joints are less misshappen, my hands and feet look much better, I have nice nails, and my hands move with Bento. Finally, rings move with my fingers! The hands and feet are a big deal.<br />
<br />
On the negative side, the neck junction between the Lara body and my system body presents a few problems. I've not yet managed to get a match between the tones, but that's my laziness. It can be done; I've just not figured it out. On a more serious note, the 0 setting for the neck won't stay put. Every once in a while there's a gap between the two. Resetting to 0 fixes the problem, but it eventually reappears. I plan to ask the Lara help group about that.<br />
<br />
The last problem is the nipples. When I'm using BOM, the three-dimensional shape of the nipples show on every outfit. There's a fix for that, but I'm still struggling. The one time I was able to hide the outline of my nipples there was some kind of texture glitch on my breasts. Unacceptable.<br />
<br />
Just yesterday I found out from my friend Ashenford that there's another problem. It seems mesh heads don't function quite right at high altitudes. We went to 4000 meters and he showed me slight tremors in his lips and eyes, like incipient early-onset avatar Parkinson Syndrome. He has read up on the issue, which seems to have to do with rendering computations and too few decimal points. Apparently prims don't always line up correctly at high, either. I've built extensively at 4000 meters with no problem, so I can live with that. The tremors? Maybe not so much.<br />
<br />
So anyway, I'm pulling the plug on this series about my adventures and misadventures with Lara. Lara has become, if not a trusted friend, at least a friendly acquaintance with a few unfortunate characteristics. At least she doesn't drink too much or invite her deadbeat drummer boyfriend over.</div>

Here's a view from inside the Volcano Pele. We like dramatic vistas at Whimsy, and this one certainly qualifies!</div>

I love this view. I often stand on the sea decks on Whimsy Kaboom and face east. I watch the whales cavorting in the bay and listen to the sounds. Peaceful. </div>

In this time of social isolation, it's nice to be with people, even if in a virtual way.<br />
<br />
I was invited to a very nice party at Ravensbrook Castle. We danced and laughed and danced some more. I knew most of the folks there, and got to know them better.<br />
<br />
The DJs were Koviachi Banoo and, making his debut, Ashenford. The host, and the creator of this film, is Uncle Hamdi.<br />
<br />
Thanks for a great time!<br />

Second Life is a neverending surpirse. You never know what you'll come across.<br />
<br />
Here, I was out exploring what seemed to be a public area. Suddenly, my camera was here.<br />
<br />
I've not idea why the owner of this house had three identical bondage photos on the wall. I don't want to know. I only hope the blonde woman was a willing subject.</div>
