Rezzable

Well, I have withdrawn my services from the rezzable 60's ride. So it will not be, well, not by me anyway.... I just had to make the decision to get out, the pay wasn't good enough for what I was supposed to provide, and, like a lot of contractors, the goal posts changed and promised were not kept.

It's a great weight off my shoulders, I think there is a need for a real discussion amongst design and build providers in Second Life about minimum rates of pay. There are no Unions to protect workers rights, and I think thats a hazard for many.

Anyway, Rezzables loss is your gain, I have got some 60's furniture knocking about in the shop, for sale, so... as my coffee table at npirl was such a success, I have "coffee anyone?" version 2 for sale, rather more colourful than the previous one, which is also in the shop. Will be selling some other 60's stuff over the next few days..... so watch this space.... :))



and the rains have given a spurt to a whole load of mushrooms that have suddenly appeared.....
good news for all the mush fans....

Soror Nishi, the dark side

Well, just to prove I'm not all sweetness and light.....

This one is for those who like the night.... a Bat Roost Tree....:))



Not in the shop until tomorrow, but thought I'd blog it anyway....

Been busy, but frustrated at Rezzable..... more, or less on that later, we'll see how it ends up, and Avgi, the Isle of Awakening, is getting the full treatment. Things are going well there, but theres still loads to do, so nothing worth shouting Hurray for yet...

New Plants for sale....

Well, theres a couple more things in the shop...... (see my Picks for details)... and see them growing naturally at Avgi, the Isle of Awakening...... which is my current build, obviously still under construction....:))
I am starting now on a different part of the island with a more urban setting than ones you have seen me build of late..... great to have a new challenge...:))
I'm gonna be doing a more subdued colour scheme, well, thats the plan.... my palette could of course run away with me as usual....only time will tell...

Sad to say goodbye to the npirl/rezzable garden of Delights, it was a show to rival Burning Man, I think, well done to all who worked so hard to give us builders the chance to show what we can do....

Selavy Oh strikes again......

OK, so, I went to the SL5B, nice to be invited to a birthday party, EXCEPT.... when I got there I wasn't allowed in cos the sim was full...... now, I'm no genius, but...... if you are LL and you have a party...... you know what I'm gonna say, don't you....... make sure that you got room for everyone.
And, if you think that a lot of random Possible-In-Real-Life builds crammed onto some sims is gonna get anyone excited....well.....

Luckily, Selavy Oh has a build there which IS worth seeing... its at.... SL5B Sculpty (26,147,23) and you have to sit on the sofa to see it.....v cool as usual, Selavy...:))



...now, a mini rant warning...... either someone has read these pages 3400 times or 3400 people have each read a page, whatever, you will know I have to rant occasionally to keep in practice.
This rant revolves around another sign, (last rant was Brooklyn is Watching, or maybe some cock up at LL.....)....this time its a type of Greeting Card Philosophy that people can print (in dodgy Font) on a 10x10m prim...and believe its worth the effort......

Seen at SL5B...... "children are the life blood of culture".... aww, very fluffy. Fluffy brained that is. Artists are the life blood of culture, ancestors create it, children are simply born into a culture, a 2 day old baby doesnt create a culture..... it just absorbs. A 2 year old child doesnt create a culture... a 12 year old, having spent years absorbing a culture MAY start to produce his/her own particular versions/ modifications of a culture. No child has ever been the life blood of a culture (except, maybe Bart Simpson, but he's older than he looks...:)) )

"children are the life blood of a community" is fine.. correct and really fairly indisputable.
at the sight of a 10x10m prim, someone has obviously lost the power of thinking... happens a lot.... in RL you have to pay printing costs, so idiot phrases are normally smaller....

Well, I had to write to the builder of this stupendous prim and tell him what I thought..... he hasnt replied....:))))

Avgi, Isle of Awakening.............under construction

Well, its already constructed, its just getting a bit soror-ized....:))
This is the tree house and I'm busy planting stuff everyday, so its changing 'look' bit by bit.....

All seems to be going well....:)))

Gallery show

Well, i have put some of my newer stuff into Cals gallery at calista, 116,133,46, and it is mostly new stuff, the 52nd Ancient, the 53rd and 54th. i have also put in some new mushrooms for all you Mush nuts out there...:)) and the Lace Lilly....:))

Not officially open yet, but sneek preview is OK....

party then Charlot....

Well, I arrived late for the party and stayed for a while....it was all good stuff, IONIC played a great set as I'm sure DD did, tho I missed it....
met Violet Nishi, a cousin, shes on the lower photo, centre ...more or less,.... there were some very pretty girls there, so you guys missed out a bit I think.....

Then went on to the show by Charlot, find SLURL on her page here
its at the FashionResearchInstitute, Shengri La Peace, 168,185,91 its fantastic.

for Midsummer day the weather is nothing to shout hurray about.... ah well, np..........60's build is brewing.....Spiral and Ordinal doing scripty things with my furniture.....Rar will announce opening sooon.....:))

Charlot Dickins ....Another Genius

Second Life has more than its share of talented people and Charlot is definately one... just check out this

Madcow at Wales Springs

Absolutely fabulous build at Wales Springs, (199,182,37) by madcow. He's done the whole Tarot deck and made amazing sculptures out of each of them... well worth a visit... :)) This is the Ace of Swords, and not the most outrageous of the bunch, but nicely trad.... makes a change for Madcow....:))

Another genius at work.... Selavy Oh is working on a show to knock your socks off, I will give an address and snap when its open... very cool indeed...

I'm still at work on my tree house.... its all happening on the Isle of Awakening....... late at night when I'm half asleep...( not really) ....:))) but its only just started.......

next...

Well, you cant keep a good woman down, and I'm busy building my socks off.... well, this time its for Earth Alcott and her sim Avgi. I've been commissioned to get a bit of life in her sim and I'm starting off with some tree houses, well, just one to start with.....and it's looking good from here.....
Started up the old blender and mixing up some strange prims...all rather exciting....

The Rezz folk are all on hold while people take a well earned break after npirl/rezz Garden event... but I'm ready to finish off when I get the go-ahead.... thats the 60's ride.....

Rainbow Forest was a bit of a let-down after months of work, but its postponed not deleted, so I'll just have to learn some patience... lol...not my best attribute...:)))

Now, after due deliberation, Earth has given me a couple of tasks and i'm back in the saddle....well, not saddle exactly, I got myself a new seat which is kinder on the bum than my old one.... (bum smiles) ......so, sitting pretty....

Got RL house guests next few days so.... Monday i'll be back on it.......

Ha !!

well .... that looks like its gonna sell....... :))))

Rainbow Forest by soror Nishi

Bad News....... just in.......

I have been building the Rainbow Forest, on commission...... I was paid, promptly, and spent 2 months building it, totally new trees and tex and it was rezzed, boxed and passed on to the client who was very pleased with the result....

BUT....... the client is moving home and RL business has forced him to sell the sim before it was opened to the public...
and its all been returned......












so.....thats all i have to show for 2 months work.....(plus the cash...:))...) but its a shame cos it was quite good.... :(((

one good prim

I did say that i would upload this when I could, well, here it is, a good prim....:)) and a nice flower.....

New Development... .6:56 AM SLT

At a recent gathering of the Grey People, 40,000 people rezz into SL in one bush....yes, you heard it here first, the first General Meeting of the Grey Bush Cult.. and to make matters worse.....all had been Ruthed..... and no way out.....no tps worked, no nothing....Hmmmmmmm

[RESOLVED] Severe network problems
[UPDATE 5:51 am PDT] While resolved, we are still seeing some residual effects from our earlier outage. In our attempts to clear them you may see temporary network outages across most regions. When it does you will be unable to rez, teleport, search, etc. These should only last a few minutes and will not affect the entire network at once.


well, if thats resolved I'm a millionaire


:))
back to the TV???? yukkk...no Blender, my friend, here I come.....

Issues .... again......

Well, its a bit stupid of the Linden Boys to ask if my experience of SL is getting better or worse when I cant even log in.....
thats like asking a dead person if the medicine worked....lol

Anyway, I thought I'd be ironic, even tho I have heard that Americans aren't always very good with irony, and said that I thought my experience was getting better, and that I hated Windlight.... so... it'll probably go in the bin, but at least this time I did get a chance to enter text in the little "why?" box...... so somethings improving

Very pleased with the flower I did last night, and got some funkier tex for my new 1 prim trees, but you cant see em yet cos I cant get online...:((

Oh, well, SLX will be having a field day, all us lost souls looking for something to spend our money on....could it be that SLX has to sabotage SL occasionally to stay solvent?? ah.... the plot thickens .... I havent got stuff on SLX yet, and may never do....we'll see.....just couldnt figure out which products, I got the best part of 100 different things to sell ... and luckily some people manage to find Treeworks.... :)) .....well done you....

New one prim tree

well, my third, and possibly my best one-prim-tree so far....... haven't done very crazy tex for it yet, just the two colours, in full bright, but, I'm sure a few more tex will follow..... it's for sale in the shop, Treeworks, (see my Picks for LM)....

otherwise..... well, I've more or less finished the building phase at Rezzable......just need some help with the scripting....... hopefully Spiral is gonna help.... we may be ready by next week....

you'll be the first to know...:))

High Tide

Well, in case theres any doubt.....lol.... here I am trying to put in the foundations and these fish keep hassling me.....hardly ideal building conditions after all... visibility is poor (to be polite) and I got this terrible anti-flying bug....lol...

anyway..... after having got stuck in one bit of the tunnel, I can now see the proverbial light....:))) all I need is one more genius idea, and I'll be home and dry with my feet up and a glass of wine in my hand..... now.... ideas.....hmmmm..... maybe tomorrow.... they can come at any time..... :)))

Saints of Hell

Well, went for a visit to see Burton at Slaytona, the races were great although apparently, Havok 4, as I predicted (smug) has caused havok, especially with all the motorbike scripts, so its been hard to keep bikes on the road....

Other news is that I have started on site with the new Rezzable ride....did my brain in with all that millimeter accuracy.. .lining up walls and stuff, still, soon ready to start decorating to give you a ride to remember......we'll see....
