‘Lack-of-B’ sound & various encounters, travels and realisations from my 2nd life

My ‘b’ was broken. And going alt+098 all the time is not really my style, thus I did one of the things I vouched I would never do:

When I returned home and wanted to work on the _actuall_ post, I decided upon fixing the ‘b’. At all cost. But I still find this lousy attempt at a podcast rather funny, so I added some sound effects… et voila! ;)

So, what’s new? Well, we now have signalisation at the hospital: reception, shop, cafetaria, room 1-8, teleporter, nurses classroom, OP1 and OP2 signs. I offered making a ‘elevator out of order’ sign too, but Hele promised it will work. Eventually. And thanks to the great Rejeanne Connoli, my STD’s coming on fine. :p

In the past few days I’ve had some problems with SLBoutique not listing the items I’ve added into my vendor in my seller’s account on their site, despite that I’ve tried everything: adding them again, adding them with different names, adding them with different permissions, resetting the scripts and even rezzing a new, second vendor. Which doesn’t list either. I went to help.slboutique.com to see how my ticket was doing, only to find that help was down. I now have a sellers account at SLExchange too. (Although I still prefer SLBoutique and hope they’ll respond to my ticket soon and things will get solved.)

A stranger abandoned his cat in my skybox. I’m rather sure it was not an accident, as the cute little animal looks like it’s carefuly positioned. I understand one would take a weekend off from SL with this fine weather, but I can’t understand people leaving their pets behind like this. :(

If anybody knows the owner, Woody Mills, please tell him to pick up his cat because - I’ve said so before - I am not willing to take responsability for a pet. Not even if it’s male and has cat’s ears. This cutie goes by the name of ‘Little Brown Cat’ and has lovely fur texture.

And if somebody else wants to adopt it, that’s fine by me too, but you have to figure out a way to take it home with you then. The poor, little, feline creature is still a bit afraid, I guess, as it doesn’t let me move it to a safer spot then on the stairs where everyone stumbles over it. :(

I’ve tagged along with Veyron to the Relay For Life Benefit Car Show where there were some great builds on display. An example: we’ve met this fine young man called ‘Vincent’ - sorry, last name slipped my mind, notecards and .txt files (edit: Vincent Serrurier) - who I think build the hawt car Veyron and I used as a background for the shoot. Well, he could open en close the doors. And insisted I’d include the car’s sexy butt in the snapshots. So I’m rather sure he has build it. Watch out for ‘Girls with Cars (and Guns)’ photographs on this blog during the following weeks! ;)

After Kilara Balnarring showed it to me, I’ve gotten myself a ‘Primfinder’ (from Crystal Gadgets). A very helpfull tool for building n00bs like me. It ensures a lot of ‘ow, yes I could do it that way so I need less prims’ moments and is also neat to browse through, just thinking about what you could do with all those lovely prims. How does the Primfinder work? You rezz the box it gives to you to the ground, click the prim you want on the Primfinder’s screen, et voila… the prim you chose is rezzed above the box, with you set as owner and creator. Neat! No? Everybody can get a primfinder-box from it and thus use it. If you want to try it out, feel free to drop by at my skybox where it’s set up. The route descriptin is still: take the teleporter at the Paradise Lost (slurl) terrace. Above the teleporter I have now put up a - pink - sign saying ‘VintLabs’ and with a huuuuge arrow pointing the right way upon it, as certain persons claimed it is hard to find.

Talking about building, there is so much still to learn for me and the Linden Gods are about to introduce something new and very exciting: Sculpted prims which I don’t understand anything about (yet), but I do think I’ve crossed another milestone in my Vint-learns-to-build-epos. Behold: the wrapping for my Paw’ed Neko Eyes. A bit primmy, I know, but still… it’s ok? No? If you don’t like them, blame it on Hele, as she has put the shelves in the hospital shop in the first place. If we still had the old rating system, someone would have voted my building rating 1 up so it would say ‘+3′ for this, no? :/
