Duo Rezday Pictures by JJ Goodman

The famous photographer JJ Goodman, my brother and friend, attended the Duo Rezday Bash on Saturday.

JJ was there because he is family and friend and had no obligation to take pictures, but he did so anyway... which I am grateful for, as I and the rezday boys were to busy with other stuff.

Thanks for the pictures JJ, as always you manage to make us all look wonderful!

Support Ticket #01587329 XV


I received an email from dear Theresa Linden on Friday morning:

Hugs Bock,

I am determined to get you some decent help resolving this! I am going to update Alexa and that Jira with your info. I have you computer specs (thank you very much!) a full description of the problem (of course) and the step by step on how you have reproduced them. All I need now to send this to her (or whichever developer will be investigating this) is some screenshots. Do you think you are able to provide me with one for each incident if possible? I would be very appreciative :)

I sent Theresa this answer just a few mintes ago,

"Hello dear Theresa.

First of all I would like to ask your pardon for my delay in answering your message which I received on Friday morning. I had a rough week in first life and by Friday my brain had turned to mush, even if everything had gone much better than I had anticipated and been anxious about.

I will of course do as you ask me and take Bock and Cruella for a tour around SecondLife, at the same places on the same time, and get you screenshots of their experiences.

There are two other things I should inform you about.
1. Today I have reinstalled Windows 8 Pro on my computer; it was actually not the hassle I had feared.
2. I got an offline message from my friend Zigadena Gabardini, who as I have told you before has had a bout of the same problems. She told me that she had first yanked her bandwidth up to 5 000 as I had suggested to her and then too full speed and that seemed to have solved all her problems. That reminded me that I have always had my bandwidth on the viewers on full throttle until a few months ago when I was temporarily using the Firestorm viewer and was told that setting it to over 1 500 was useless. Thinking back, it could perhaps coincide in time with when my problems started, so I am going to try going full throttle on the bandwidth also and see it helps. I will get back to you on how that worked out.


I am so grateful for your time, interest and determination in helping me and hope we will get these issues solved. My confidence in you and Linden Lab remain undiminished! 

Hugs,
Bock"

Support Ticket #01587329 XIV

It´s the middle of the night here now and I woke up after a nightmare and needed to drink, so while I am airing out my bedroom and cooling it down I checked my email.

There was a new message from Theresa Linden at Linden Lab waiting for me:

Hi Bock!

Thanks again and again for the info. I love details! I hate that you had to delete your inventory to see if it were associated with this. Any new updates since this has happened? Or are you on a very well deserved hiatus? LOL!

Warm regards,

Theresa Linden

I sent my dear tech support the following reply:

"Hello dear Theresa,

You´re most welcome, after all we are in this together and I must do my part!

No, nothing new to report really. As Bock I keep on repeating in local chat, IM and with payments on most venues except when at home on Southern Charm. The newly created alt (LadyCruellaMcMillan) doesn't have any problems at all. She is fine wherever they both go while he is a stuttering fool, although still very dashing and charming of course...

I have a Swedish friend Zigadena Gabardini, who had the same problems. After I had been on the Second Pride meeting on Sunday with my bandwidth set to 5000 and been free of any problems for two hours, I told her to yank up her bandwidth (which was set to 500) up to 5000. She tells me that she has had no problems with repeats in local chat, IM and payments since she pulled up the bandwidth. Bock of course, as I have already told you, was not so lucky.

Hugs (we Swedes hug a lot and all the time),
Bock"

Report From A Sickbed 2

French hot dog
with mayonnaise 
Nothing much happening, I´m still in pain but think it is getting better until it starts hurting again. Yesterday I ended up in a sort of "high" for about six hours through mixing too many over-the-counter Swedish painkillers. I know I laid down to sleep on my bed, but I woke up in a couch.

I actually didn't believe that this could happen with Swedish over-the-counter drugs, which are much weaker than the ones sold without prescriptions in the United States or anywhere else in the world, but now I know, so that was the last time I mix three drugs, I am sticking to the two-drug-combos from then on.

Physical pain has always made me angry and irritated and at the time being I am sick of it. I never cry when I am in physical pain but still feel like a whining wimp and that´s what pisses me.

Yesterday, I also got flowers and presents delivered to me, which was sort of sweet, but is that really what we (meaning I) want when we (me again) feel like shit and want to be left alone? Well, people mean well I guess.

After reading Zigadena Gabardini´s order to "eat something" in the comments, I actually walked to a gas station nearby in the middle of the night and bought what is called a "French hot dog" here, its a sausage shoved into what the gas-station claims to be a piece of baguette (but it really is just a piece of white fluffy bread). I ate almost all of it, well three-quarters at least.

Operation Bock

I am happy to report that the Swedish healthcare system is still working smoothly and efficiently.

As some of you may remember, well it was only less than three months ago but I know that many of my readers have lots of more important stuff on their minds, I coughed up an umbilical hernia in the beginning of March this year.

The hernia became strangled later the same evening. It was not a pleasant condition, but I was well taken care of at the hospital emergency room and could come back home later the same night.

I have now been notified that they have scheduled me for operation on June 11, the time of day is not yet known. If everything goes well I will be sent home the same day.

Even if I know I need the operation and that it is a rather minor and undramatic procedure I still got a little worried. Luckily for me, when it comes to healthcare issues, I can consult with my dear friend Zigadena Gabardini. She can always answer the questions I have and that calms me down. This time I could also draw on the previous experience of her hubby Emarald Harvey. The poor man contracted an umbilical hernia lugging around Ziga´s extremely heavy luggage when they met the last time in first life.

So by June 12, 2012, I will hopefully no longer have the ugly little lump on my stomach which I constantly have to push back in. Bock with Brock will be gone again.
