Late August I arrived in Luskwood to observe that Cereal Milk was apparently AFK (away from keyboard), so I rezzed this Yak ‘n’ Yeti shoulder pet and plonked it on his boxed head. A serious LOL moment.

Group notice for kei514 Flow’s group “….we are pulse of pteron….”
I returned to the sim but it was already wiped, and the whole place blocked off.
End of an era. pteron was an incredible art sim and will be missed.
I set up these settings on every SL client I use, and approve them. You should too.

Bored, games
I’m trying to work out a model for a two- or four-handed sort of board game I’m provisionally calling Kitty-Corner. People love games and gadgets in Second Life, and trying to figure out how to make such a device work is a nice mental exercise.
Also, I’m working on getting my SL shirt range up on Marketplace, probably just regular layers at this time. It’s a long, slow, annoying process. (Subsequently I finish the layers for the first design. All jacket, shirt and underwear layers. I suppose I need to make promotional shots now…)
Three years ago to the day Dave Jenkins posted the “Five-Step Party” model of the lifecycle of social networking sites:
- stage 1: not many people – this might be lame
- stage 2: okay, some people are showing up – let’s stick around and see what happens
- stage 3: wow– there’s some cool people here, and i’m a little drunk. Fun!
- stage 4: rager! holy shit! look how many people are here! We can do anything! (let’s steal ketchup from the fridge and throw it into the street!!!)
- stage 5: waaay too many people. The cops are gonna show up, and people are pushing and shoving, and i can’t hear anything you’re saying right now. This is lame.
Commenters have observed that there is an alternative Stage 3: Collapse due to scaling issues. However I’d argue that this is actually a technical case of Stage 5.
Sometimes I wonder, with the reliable problems of inventory lag, region crossing lag, chat lag, unreliable search, ditzy viewers, and in my experience, purchasing lag, the perpetual gray issues, the incoming Teen Plague, a succession of pie-sky CEOs and managers, if Second Life fits this mold.
If it does, I’d say it’s hovering somewhere between stages 4 and 5. The rise of technically inferior but promising alternatives like InWorldz and OpenSim promises ‘a different darker smokier club’ for those no longer enjoying SL, but of course getting out with your identity and/or inventory is difficult.
But that is a post for another time.
Goodbye coinpursehunts
I just deleted the frankly inactive and redundant tumblr ‘coinpursehunts’. It was only a seasonal thing, set up before I knew how hard it was to run a Second Life treasure hunt. Especially one with a nonstandard mechanic like I had.
Most of the posts were about the chickenfeathers regarding the running of it; the next four posts in my queue are pictorial memories.

This is in Second Life. Caledon Avahah is a lovely place, a fitting setting for Skye’s imagery from Hawaii.
It’s another Ecclescraft! This one is about Noirland, Binding of Isaac, Noirland, Second Life, and a little fishing in Noirland.
L.B.: Meeroos are the new breedable cats. Supposed to be pretty neat
B.H.: my friend got them today and they are the cutest lil buggers and interactive too . they ask to be cuddled and you can hold them in your hands it all works off a hud system
Dr. P.: same could be said of zindra denizens :)
From a Second Life group chat
Update: Some definitions
breedable: inexplicably popular SL fad which replaces casinos as a lag source and money sink by forcing you to constantly fuss and buy food for animals
Zindra: the continent known as the “adults only ghetto”. The only interesting place is Mosh, since it has some nice non-sexual freebies.
