I'm rarely on 2nd Life - (I learned how to sit on things but not much else) and it annoys the fuck out of me that I have to install new software every time I visit. Last time I walked around some people had "Hacked the Gibson!" secondlife://Gibson/
Here's a postcard of my visit to Eunumclaw!  |

I just chatted with Jeremy Neumann (inworld), closing date is July 30th for entries.
Prizes include a meeting with William Gibson, signed books and DVDs and the chance to come to a RL event in August. Closing date for all entries is 30th July. |

Interesting. I can't recall any mention of a SL visit on the blog..?
Hope the events are a little more flashy than, say, those Suzanne Vega concerts. That was quite anti-climatic, from what I've sen in some YT clips. |

I'll confess to being an old fart who's fundamentally unmoved by the whole Second Life thing.
Fuck, one's more than enough to make sense of. ----------------------------- "It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity. After that, the next step is to become a small power itself." --GK Chesterton, "Heretics" |

Don't worry about it, I'm not so wild about SL myself; not this incarnation, not just yet anyway.

I haven't dabbled in SL yet, although I thought this would be a great opportunity ... 'til the client installed and *then* told me that my video card was unsupported.
eh ... maybe I'll put it on the desktop, maybe I won't. |

Just tell him
"I'm a N00b, I have no genitals!" |

Well, my avatar does have a fairly prominent package, but also mid-back length flowy hair, so maybe he was just mis-reading. But still!

The guy who got me to go into SL in the first place had the exact same experience - so drawing on his experience I immediately made my avatar a rather weird looking guy (actually I tried to make him look like a walking penis, but I wasn't very successful).
I submitted my entry to the avatar competition!! For all of you other N00bs, you have to save individual files for body, hair, shirt, shoes, etc. and then copy them into a special folder in your inventory - call it This message has been edited. Last edited by: Fashionpolice, |

Well I've tried Second Life before but it just wasn't doing anything for me and I didn't get into it. You could say I'm an oldbie or an uninterestedbie.
