    trying stuff & making mistakes ;)

    I don't have a Signature head but if there is a hairbase showing, there ought to be a button on the hud somewhere to clear applier layers. Unless the hairbase is a BOM tattoo layer in which case you can remove it the same way as you did before mesh. As for old bom skins on mesh heads, they can...

    I almost forgot today is my Rezday, joined in 2006.

    Someone on the official forums started a rezday thread last week, and it was actually on my rezday. I would have forgotten, if it wasn't for that thread. Thirteen years, my god, I have never kept up with anything for that long before.

    Linden Research just sold itself to an investment firm

    Tilia. It has the potential to be used for any game or app that uses microtransactions. I can see online casinos being very interested in something like that, and online gambling, internationally, is huge. I can see the investors hanging on to Tilia and supplying other gaming companies with...

    Question of the Day #5: Is Jeff Schwartz at it?

    A few years ago, my washing machine decided to flood the kitchen. A plumber came and he could find nothing wrong with the machine itself but after further investigation he discovered that the outlet pipe was jammed - with five odd socks and the head of a small teddy bear. I still have no idea...

    Question of the day #8 Time to choose.

    New York, New York! I've been once before, many years ago, and I loved it, would go again in a heartbeat.

    Buying/selling tier

    I've never actually bought or sold tier, though I did for a while contribute some to the land group I was renting from, in return for reduced rent. So I guess in this particular case, the value of the tier was worth the same as the rent on the same area of land. Or at least, it was to me as the...

    What Kind of D&D Character Would You Be?

    I'd be the NPC innkeeper, staying as far away as possible from anything more dangerous than a few drunkards.

    Why Don't You Sign Into SL Any Longer (And What Would Bring You Back)?

    A club is a bit different from a shop though. For now, I think people are just craving social contact. I think businesses like yours may pick up soon though, as returners-to-SL decide they want to stay, and want a home. I bet you'll see an uptick in sales when the Linden Homes log cabins are...

    The Evolution of Your Avatar

    This is me in my first week, in 2008. And this is how I look now: I've kept the same overall look throughout; ginger hair (usually shoulder-length when I'm not in formal-wear), facial hair to some degree, short and stocky build. My current skin is an old one that I've started wearing again...

    Why Don't You Sign Into SL Any Longer (And What Would Bring You Back)?

    For the past year or so I've been logging in only for my Sunday events at Club Noir, and occasionally in spare moments inbetween with one of my alts. This social isolation thing is definitely changing that for me; whereas usually I'm out in RL at least three or four evenings a week, suddenly I'm...

    Anybody else have an MMORPG background before using virtual worlds?

    I started on Guild Wars in 2005 but my group didn't stay there long and we switched to World of Warcraft shortly after. I really couldn't say whether that was before or after I joined SL - that was 2006 on my first account and I joined WoW the same year, definitely before the release of Burning...

    New Linden Home Theme - Log Homes

    I really like the cabins. None of the other themes have really tempted me at all but this one is making me wish I could afford to increase my tier.

    Is having more than one premium account in Second Life worth it?

    Definitely later than June, my first account started end of June that year and still gets 500L. I only log him in to rob him. :devilish:

    Is having more than one premium account in Second Life worth it?

    I think it is, up to a point. I did the maths when I extended my land (I have about 6,000sq.m) and the most economical way for me was two premium accounts with group bonus, and pay monthly tier fee on the rest. I looked into making a third alt premium but the saving on tier was less than the...

    Ms CronoCloud Creeggan dropped into Club Noir after last night's event, we got talking about SLU/VVO and she reminded me that I haven't been here in a while. Here's a couple of pics, the first one from yesterday, and the second one today, off-duty and checking out the new Linden Homes cabins...

    Increased Cases Of Lung Disease From Vaping Remain A Mystery

    It really depends on local regulations. Here in the UK, THC is not legal but CBD is. However, many supposedly legal sources of CBD have been found to contain illegal levels of THC. Which is why I stick to just nic, and make my own liquids at home with ingredients from trusted EU sources.

    Words whose alternate usage has faded with history

    Jopsy is correct, decimate means to reduce BY one tenth.
