When Dej Disappeared (Update)

I haven't been able to see my brother Dej at all during the last week, not even his tag. I couldn't figure out what had happened or what was wrong.

Everyone else we asked saw him perfectly well, but not I.

What I saw on my screen
With the help of Mirco and his friend Miro Collas, we finally figured out what it was and then I understood when, where and how I had messed. I feel like such a noob!

Tomais, Dej and I visited The Men's Department a week ago for some serious shopping. 

As always the place was full of eager shoppers, so I did what usually do in those laggy circumstances, with one fatal exception. I marked all the other shoppers and derendered them, but instead selecting to do so temporarily I selected permanently. 

So my poor beautiful, meshified, albeit much older brother ended up being blacklisted on my screen. It was a great relief to finally see his sweet face again.

Thanks for the help Mirco and Miro!

Update 8/13/2017
If you are using the Firestorm viewer my friend Anonymous has a nifty trick for you on how to derender all avatars at a busy event and then to render them again later with only two clicks.

I may have learned this once upon a time, but had since then managed to forget it. There is no better way to remember things than by repetition, especially if you are a forgetful and absentminded person like yours truly.

Happy Labor Day 2016

I wish my friends in Canada and USA a happy Labor Day! Just relax and sit around in your friends laps and have a beer or a glass of wine after your parade and before you go out shopping.

This is the North American anti-communist version of the International Worker's Day that is celebrated on May 1 in more than 80 countries throughout the world.

Hair Fair 2016

The Hair Fair 2016 starts today and goes on through July 31st. As always this long awaited (Well, since last years fair closed...) event is in benefit of Wigs for Kids.

You can read all about the event - and do some window shopping too - at the events website Hair Fair │July 16th - 31st. (The website also provides SLurls to each of the stores participating, for easy access.) There are also additional sims for cam shopping.

Judging by the website there actually seems to be a fair amount of hairs for men, not the usual 1,5-2% hidden away somewhere undetectable.

Happy hunting!

Clearance Sale at "Tatty Soup"

Tab Tatham
The amazingly talented furniture builder Tab Tatham is closing her store "Tatty Soup" to embark on new ventures.

All of her wonderfully designed, cute, tasteful, whimsical and beautiful furniture is being sold out this weekend for ridiculously low prices before she is deleting everything to clear her Inventory for what is to come.

As I understood it when we spoke to her yesterday she will continue with furniture design.

I shopped until I almost dropped (well, I had to take a nap afterwards) at her yard sale yesterday. Go there, or you may regret it for the rest of your SecondLife.

This is the landmark, Take me to "Tatty Soup" (SLurl)

Spontaneous Clubbing

After a long and busy day of overseeing my master builder-interior designer-landscaper-gardener all rolled into one hot packet of dynamite, the brilliant and sublime Butch Diavolo, and shopping for more plants and more furniture I was knackered. When Guyke and Butch dropped out for bed I was going to leave too, I just had to buy some new eyes because the ones I had were doing weird stuff and then I  also had some stuff I wanted to put out over by the barn - or so I thought.

I  ended up fiddling about with stuff at the barn until I got the notice that DJ Wes and Khar were starting their party at The Tribute, so I thought I might as well go there to relax and look at men a little before hitting the sack. I ended up staying for over an hour, the place was wall-to-wall carpeted by the most wonderful men.

I sent Theresa this answer

"Dear Theresa,

Thank you very much for greeting Alexa from me!

As far as the bandwidth tests go, I am cautiously optimistic but would like to do some further tests this weekend. Among other things I am planning a shopping tour to some of the lagiest shops I know in SecondLife. 


I will get back to you with a full report of the full results of the testing on Sunday. However, the tests I have conducted so far with extremely helpful and patient friends are very encouraging and positive since I reduced the bandwidth to 500.

Have a wonderful weekend and keep your fingers crossed for me.
Bock"

Gone Fishing


Well, the post title is in a sense a damned lie, but I have checked out of my SecondLife for the day. My brain is running overtime from all the necessary tests to regain and maintain my virtual life. I am also suffering from information overload concerning the questions of life and love in first life and SecondLife.

I am doing fine and feel strong, so it´s just a short break. I will be back to get my SecondLife in order tomorrow again after which I will hopefully be able to send a cautiously optimistic report to my tech-support Theresa Linden before the weekend.

See you tomorrow, I and The Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm and prince of Cascade  Falls, will then attempt the crucial tests on which the whole of SecondLife´s future economy rest. We are going s-h-o-p-p-i-n-g for the first time in almost three months.
