My SL Feed - January 2013

From First, to Last, all of my SL Feed posts from January 2013. Some of them have fun links :-)

Unconditional loyalty. Is it something we should give to those that just use us for their own benefit, then forget about us when they don't need from our work? I say, no. The difficult part? Realizing that you're being used. Let's be real: Who wants to acknowledge that is being used, to oneself? We will always think we're smarter than that. (Reality, of course, has a different version of the story, called "facts".)

This link was previously posted by Pep in his feed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20896966 When I read it, sadly, I wasn't shocked at all, but when I read this quote in that web page: "When you see a woman straddle, she looks like a man. But if she sits side-saddle, she looks like a woman." I shook my head. For a moment, I felt like if I was reading any of the books about Gor. (And yes, I have my own pace to read the feeds.)

So... How many new year resolutions have you already broken?

Tired of SL drama? Or not tired, but needing to distract your mind a few minutes? Take a break in the RL facilities! The windlight system is still a little primitive, but the Sun feels warm and the breeze in the woods has a nice, fresh smell, still to be beaten by the best SL particle system effects.
PRO-TIP: RL roses have actual thorns. Your experience with them will be greatly enhanced if you hold them where they have no thorns. You're welcome :-))

"Her eyes look tired, a creepy shine coming from them. She reads once and again, and again, the same fairy tale. From time to time, she looks inside the box. «I know I was right,» she indulges in the memory of his words. Then why the disturbing look?"

Gardening 101: Use gloves. Really. You don't want to know what you may find out there, in the real world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ESLKWt5w4w

Gardening 102: They may look similar to the untrained eye, but beware of wasps, for they are like a psycho version of bees. Bees use to mind their business with flowers and might be naive about defending themselves ( http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/6264573_700b_v2.jpg ). Wasps will chase you, though, no matter how a
pixel bad ass you've said you are in your profile, if they feel like it.

Gardening 103: It's easier when there's light outside.

I know I'm going to create panic at class tonight when I write things like "Let's call S the subset of allowed values for a given ..." =)

I've just finished the second of a "omg, I'm about to pee" series of animations. My mother can be proud of me.

Yesterday I was visiting an exhibit where several of my students had some art pieces. Then I recalled the saying, "If you can't do it, teach."

My SL Feed - Posts from 2012

From Newer, to Older, almost all of my SL Feed posts from 2012. Some of them have fun links :-)

The end of this year brings me a wonderful image: the tips of my tulips coming out from the ground. There's a promise of life in the flowers that will soon blossom. I thought I would never achieve it, but once again, I proved to myself "never say never".

Yaaaaaay! That white sort-of-a-shelf is my first mesh object, built from scratch in Blender. I know it's a pretty simple object, but I'm quite excited! All the woods are aligned on my first test! And the LI is just 0.5. Double yay! :-))))

It scares me the time I've needed until I've realized what is wrong here: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_memix5yc7V1qigfjto1_400.gif (I guess I was expecting a cat to jump there or something.)

I hadn't realized about all the work done in the last five months until setting up this year for the SL Christmas Expo. Everything I wanted to do, I had it covered thanks to my (recent) previous work. It doesn't mean I will stall, it only means that, for once, I devoted my hardest efforts to someone that would appreciate them. Like, myself. Which is harder, more complicated and way less selfish than how it sounds.

Yay modify shoes. In the past I could remove the invisiprim scripts to cut down the lag, and nowadays I can remove the (now unnecessary) invisiprim themselves.

There is just one way to achieve that nobody realizes that you've copied, pasted, and changed words: do not copy and paste.

External beauty in RL is ephemeral. In SL, external beauty can be bought. From this, I have to conclude that if you feel threatened by someone else's external beauty, specially the SL one, then you really have nothing interesting inside.

I really need an umbrella.

The fact of something like this not being suitable in a (specific) PG area still boggles my mind. For so many reasons I can't decide if listing them by importance or alphabetically.

My brother uses to send me links to make me laugh. This one http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/5415024_700b_v1.jpg has made me to recall of something even more fun: the "canned unicorn meat" was an April 1st joke to crack up ( http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/unicorn-meat.shtml ), but what was even more hilarious, is that they got a cease and desist letter for slogan infringement: http://www.thinkgeek.com/blog/2010/06/officially-our-bestever-cease.html (Things like this happen when one takes oneself too seriously.)

I really "love" the "straw man" fallacy. Some persons just devote so much effort beating the things you have NOT said that make me wonder about "understanding what you read" being mandatory for kids at schools.

Today, as expected, my secret alt has found out at one class at Builder's Brewery that the instructor, usually unable of spelling correctly even if her life depends on it... talks Aurynese! Very soon, the reasons behind my resignation, and the shame on those looking aside instead of taking action. (Yes, I'm explaining... and when the full story is published, the bad memories will finally be left behind.)
[Link to the original post in my feed]

Some things are just sad. Today I've left Builder's Brewery. I'm still pondering about making open my resignation letter. I have nothing to hide and one thing to regret: having had under my wing the instructor that has provoked my final decision to leave. I wish I had known. But such is life. Time to move on.

Beggars will not stop begging, but here it is a thought: when they beg in group chats, don't reply. Ban them from your parcel if you wish, AR them, mute them... but don't reply. If you reply, they have instant access to yet another profile to check for more free groups to join... to beg in them. If they want to beg, leave to them the work of finding more groups... don't make it easy for them!

96 linked nodes: 48 water jets, 48 foam sources. Zero scripts. LI: 48.

[Link to the original post in my feed]

I love, I love, I love and I love the updated LI accounting. I'm saving LI everywhere by working the most optimized settings I can get. And again, I love it. I'm spreading the love in the completely updated "Linking Phantom and Non Phantom Prims" class. It's so updated, that if you take it again, you will realize the content is completely new.

This sudden fog at home doesn't make me feel much relaxed... I hear a voice say "Have you seen a little girl...? Short... Black hair..." (WL: [TOR] FOGGY - Silent heck)

Yaaaaayyyy... I said it loud voice! -> [00:01:33] Auryn Beorn: For objects you should try PASSIVE - but anyway, for help you should ask to the group, not me. I take interruptions in IM very badly when I'm trying to help in group :-) (I know, this might sound rude for some, but when I'm talking in the group, and helping in the group, if you drag my attention to yourself, you're being detrimental to the group, and the group is missing from the exchange we could have - that's why my rule about NOT answering you if you IM me because you've seen me helping in group - if I'm helping in group is because I want THE GROUP to have a benefit - don't be that selfish, ok?)

I know that, nowadays, almost a year after mesh was introduced this is going to sound weird and naive but... I have my first mesh dress! Pretty mesh dress! *brags lots* :-))) (so NOW is when I figure that everybody else in the grid already were able to see mesh =) )

English lesson learned today: "rubber" is not the same as "ruler" even if they sound as such for a moment in your knucklehead. Be specially careful when you have such a slip at class. *me hides flushing and reminds herself of checking the translator first, THEN, talking*
