primitive pixels

 2006

 2010

remember what your first avatar looked like? i know i've come a long way - from spiral hair, 30 prim chairs, and an apartment with a phantom front door for 10L a week, to flexi prim skirts and a platform 3,000 meters in the sky. who would have thought?

my view of viewer 2

i know this is coming in late, but i gave it some thought and here it is ...

i do not! like: 

-that the sidebar is the only viewer window for profiles, inventory, etc. for example, if I want to view a profile and look at something else from the tabs at same time, impossible. individual windows were so much better.

-in the friends list - it was so much easier having the ability to simply check/uncheck features like invisible, grant mod rights, etc. without having to search for these functions in menus.

-the new shape and script icons. script looks less identifiable and shape icon looks like something related to the concept of "Group" or "people" instead of avatar body shape like the previous one.

-that the rotate and move arrows are not side by side in the new window. one has to click either button to access them. i am used to using both almost simultaneously, daily!

-where are profile picks and classifieds?? unless i'm missing something, i couldn't find a feature for Picks. also hate the way profiles are viewed in sidebar compared to individual windows

-having separate "Voice" tab was more clear

-having to toggle sidebar on/off to get full view & access to things, makes me dizzy.

-miss being able to quickly look at parcel settings (no build/no fly, etc) at top near parcel name

-again, awkward selecting options from the menus at top of screen and having results show way over in the sidebar only instead of having pop out windows.

-miss having a visible BUILD and SEARCH button. don't like the build drop down menu at top.

-would be nice if the right-click Edit option read as "Edit/Build" or "Edit/Create" instead of just Edit.

I do like:

-searching for people directly from friends list
-picture icons next to friends names
-nearby tab
-tattoo addition
-in-world dashboard access
-built-in quick start guide

overall i think some important functions are more buried in the menus. Delete is now buried in Remove in the drop down menu. Was easier to see these important, basic functions directly in pie form. as an experienced user of 4 years, i was really lost trying to find some of the most basic features that should not be so hidden. i can see how a FEW aspects of the new design are more user/newbie-friendly, but overall, it feels less self-explanatory than the old client. and each time i go back to the viewer, i find more that i don't like about it.

Crystal ball

how often do you wish you could float far, far away ...

inner outer space

 

an old time favorite - inspire space park. how many times have you been? i find myself still gravitating toward this place once in a while. amazing the way watching pixels float in the "inner space" of the computer can provoke such a deep, internal reflection ... and physical relaxation. total experience here with ambient music and an atmosphere that represents what SL is all about.

sandbox psychos

WARNING: VERY BAD, GRAPHIC IMAGE BELOW!



today i was wrestling with my furniture vendor as it seems to suddenly have a mind of its own. i dragged it over to a sandbox for testing and noticed i wasn't the only one in need of frustration release ...

sadly, this isn't the first time i've discovered tortured newbie mannequins shattered, wedged into buildings or flying from a ceiling fan :/. instead of newbie, the dummies should be replicas of the killers themselves, good "grief." does this mean the sandbox is safer than it used to be for us living avies? or, now that psychos seem to have a virtual outlet, maybe RL is? smh. (see "SL lingo" page above)

cupid clutter

today was the start of second life's valentine scavenger hunt. i think it's a neat idea for those who want something to do and for newer residents to collect some new objects. i followed the first few clues with enthusiasm, but soon realized i was acquiring more objects than i need - with an inventory of over 21k items (was 24k a few weeks ago!) after discovering only one of the golden hearts, i already had a couple of objects, folders and notecards. suddenly i decided to opt out of the hunt and save the clutter!

when all else fails ...

newbies are becoming more creative! i put on my mentor tag and went down to the ahern welcome area (where i was born 4 years ago!). i stood, shifted my camera around and ...
