Relay For Life Toothbrushes

I'm happy to announce I created RFL versions of my toothbrushes. They work the same as the regular ones but they have RFL colours and "Relay For Life Edition" inscription (both the toothbrush and the toothpaste). Here are the pictures:







You'll find the vendors at my store. All proceeds will go to American Cancer Society. So come on over, get yourself a toothbrush and support a good cause.

llFunny

I've been a member of the Scripters of Second Life group for quite a long time now and I think it's my favourite SL group so far. Not only are they very helpful but being in the group is sometimes really entertaining too. I couldn't stop myself from posting some of the funny situations, though I'm pretty sure they will be funny to scripters only. So if you're a scripter and want some laugh, read on. If you're not a scripter, you're welcome too, but it might not be funny for you at all. If you're a member of the Scripters of Second Life group, this may bring back memories :)

SM: on the local axis, curl you hand around one axis, with the thumb pointing in the direction of the arrow...then any positive rotational value will be going around your fingers to the tips
MZ: S..you make rotations sound so sexy :)

Have a good day everyone :)

I kissed a Linden

There's an old Second Life proverb saying: If you can kiss a Linden, you will have good luck all year. Nah, I'm joking, but it's a nice one, don't you think? :) If you choose to believe it though (who said you can't?) rush to the Isle Of View and kiss one (or more Lindens!) and celebrate Valentine's Day 2008. I've been there, I've kissed them and I'm telling you: it's fun :D



I got to kiss Jeremy Linden who works on Knowledge Base and I kissed Socrates Linden who is a liaison and a member of the gov team. I even got to meet Cupid Linden - a cute little love Linden :) He was sweet, gave me some Valentine goodies and we took a picture together.





The Lindens will be back at the island at 5PM, so you still got a chance to kiss one and win some luck :)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

PS. To those who doesn't know why the island name is Isle Of View. Read it aloud :) Hey, did I hear I love you?

Scripting made easy

Today I've got something that will probably be of interest for all the creative minds out there, that can create amazing objects, but have a bit of trouble understanding LSL or simply have never tried it and don't know where to start. Autoscript is a script generator for Second Life created by Hilary Mason (Ann Enigma in SL) from Johnson and Wales University. You choose what you want your object to do and when it should happen. The generator will then create the script for you and tell you if there are more actions you need to take to make the script work (for example put your notecard into the object's contents). This way you can add some interactivity to your creations and learn the basics of scripting in LSL at the same time. Very easy, very intuitive and surely a great help for scripting newbies :) If you like the tool, don't forget to tell the author and maybe leave a suggestion for a new feature on her blog.

I did it!

I defended my thesis today! The thesis, as some of you probably remember, was about Second Life and it really brought lots of good things to me. The title in English would be: Using the virtual world of Second Life in companies and institutions' activities. I'm quite proud of how it turned out, I proved my points and also learned a lot about the business aspect of Second Life (even though I thought I knew it all before ;))). I'm very happy and hopefully will have more time for everything now, including blogging. As I know I'll be receiving my MSc diploma very soon, it's quite scary I'm not a student anymore. On the other hand, I've got so many goals set, and so many projects going on, that I don't think my life could get boring anyway. I'll miss the classes (but not the essays, the exams and all that jazz) but I feel I can really focus on what I want to do now. Yay!

SL'ang Life No. 1 - a sneak peak! [UPDATE]

[UPDATE: March 29, 2010] I removed all SL'ang Life links - they don't lead to SL'ang Life website anymore (since it doesn't exist), but to one you wouldn't want to go to ;)

My copy of SL'ang Life magazine arrived yesterday, so I thought I'd post a sneak-peak photo for those of you who are still waiting for the delivery. Since you already know the cover, I'm posting a picture from the inside. It's actually one of my articles (surprise surprise ;)).

I'm very happy with the magazine and I hope you all will be too. Expect your copy soon, and those who haven't subscribed yet, you know what to do, it's free!

If you have comments on the articles or would like to ask some questions, just recently we opened a forum where you can do that or simply just come to chat.

And don't forget to let us know what you like about the magazine!
