I’m trying out a new product – double mesh vests, from a kit by Meli Imako.
This one has a velvet inner vest with shamrocks, and I’ve tested it with some of my own created fabric textures, and am excited about the possibilities.
My fears and frustrations with Blender have been holding me back and blocking me for years, but I’m doggedly trying again. I’ve taken a good beginner’s class, I’ve revisited some tuts, I’m gathering my books and notes… And I’ve dared venture into Blender too.
I just wish the one instructor offered sections 2 and 3 of his beginners class during US “off work” hours.
But I’m trying again.
After a long time away from my inworld home and friends, I made it back in time for bon temps in St John Parish. The party was held in the Maison Bleu club, hosted by the inimitable DJ Holocluck.
The music was terrific and the typist got up and danced.
I will be working on some new projects – sadly, I won’t be participating in STEAM X as a merchant, but happily I will be a hunter! I just felt I needed to improve my building skills, and I’ve taken a vow during Lent to try to do something toward learning Blender or creating products with mesh every day for these long 40 days (and yes, including Sundays, so even more).
I’ll be adding some new fun Grid Explorer hats for Dinkies avatars – currently the ones I have out aren’t sized or rotated for the small li’l big-headed kitties so I’ll be doing some rework.
However, starting with a fun mesh kit from Meli Imako, I’m working on some nice men’s vests and a women’s outfit.
Here’s a preview of one I’m working up with a pretty shamrock pattern in velvet. This will probably change a bit as the base color on the outer vest will probably end up a dark bottle green. There’s a shirt that goes along with it that needs some texturing work. Standard sizes will be available along with the usual alpha mask.
Dhughan will also come out of hibernation earlier than usual, and he’ll be working on some new walking sticks, also in mesh.
Baby steps, but we’re feeling more optimistic that it’s just a question of hard work and practice, practice, practice. This means that I’ll be reviving my little OpenSim workspace so that uploads don’t break the bank, but if you happen to see me online, give me a shout.

What’s the one thing Linden Lab could do that would have the biggest impact on further improving your Second Life experience?
Many Second Life users have thoughts on this – from different approaches for the way things are done today, to brand new features that could dramatically improve their experiences, to seemingly small things that could have a big impact. Today, we’re launching an easier way to share your ideas with us, a new “Feedback & Suggestions†page on SecondLife.com. You can also find this page by going to Help and finding New Feature Suggestions in the drop down.
via A New Way to Share Your Suggestions for Second Lif… – Second Life.
I admit, I haven’t been very active lately, and haven’t been logging in. Yet I stay more or less current by reading blogs, Twitter feeds, and checking in on Facebook with Second Life friends (including some Steelhead denizens).
However, my mailboxen get totally crammed full of group notices, marketing notices, and stuff that I pretty much delete en masse. I’d like to stay current and maybe hear about a new class I could take (classes are always a good way for me to get recharged about things like building, creating, and trying something new).
Indigo Mertel recently blogged about some suggestions she would like that are specific to groups, and then she added a few more. She is founder of the East River Community, so improvements to group communication are clearly her motivation.
My motivations are less lofty; I just want to remove all the excess chaff from my (multiple) inboxes.
I’ve submitted my suggestion, but of course there’s no upvote capability so I’d apprecate if readers could also add a similar suggestion if they find the idea helpful! Let’s reduce the crap from our inboxen and free ourselves from the tyranny of email!

Huzzah and such! A new product (actually, a pair of them):
In honor of the newest Doctor, the walking stick of the First Doctor. This is a common country-gentleman style, so it’s not limited to SF roleplay.
via Second Life Marketplace – @DF@ Timelord Walking Stick – Light Ram's Horn.
I’m very happy to get this done, it’s been a hard slog of prim-twisting, image-wrangling, and animation-tweaking (not to mention script-monkeying).
Good Lord, is that the time? Doesn’t matter, just hop in the old TARDIS and arrive just in time for breakfast, well rested!
The sticks are in honor of The First Doctor, who carried a similar walking stick and apparently fended off something called the Zarbi with it.
This new Doctor Who feller may well end up with a cane, too, if his rabid fan based have anything to say about it. There might be bunnies.
