Firestorm: "Restore to Last Position Needs You!"

Jessica Lyon of The Firestorm team is asking for support from residents of SecondLife in trying to convince Linden Lab, the makers of SecondLife, not to block the feature "Restore to Last Position".

The Firestorm Team believes that if residents can supply "a well structured set of use cases that demonstrate clearly and concisely how useful and valuable this feature is to (us)" Linden Lab may be convinced of the features value and usefulness.

If you use this feature and would like to see it stick around please leave a comment on this post Firestorm: 'Restore to last Position' needs you!, detailing how you use it and why it is valuable to you.

Please note Jessica's sage advice: "Kicking, screaming and calling foul will not save this feature, nor will criticizing LL or anyone else for not understanding the feature. In fact actions like that will speed up its demise."

Hurry hurry, because the post has been up a week on Monday!

As readers of my blog most certainly should know I am a huge fan of this feature, it has doubtlessly saved me from much agony and guilt and many, several nervous breakdowns and many hours of redoing things because of my inability to sometimes do several things at the same time, I delete stuff if I am distracted. Please, never ask me to chew gum and walk down stairs at the same time!

The latest major incident when I used the feature is described in this blog post,Bock in SecondLife: 'Thank You, Phoenix Firestorm Team!'.

For an interesting analysis, please go to Inara Pey's blog post: Living in a Modemworld: Firestorm seek feedback on “restore to last position” and the other links Inara provides there.

Conversation on Facebook

I hadn't been on Facebook for a while, and about ten minutes after I logged on I had this wonderful conversation. (Spelling errors have been corrected.)

Make sure not to like any of my posts

I will go like you(r posts) afterwards

People might see that

Stop it

You are beginning to start (sounding) bitter

I haven't been on here for a week, 

I need to go through my own 

updates before I get to yours

Honestly do you really think I'm that stupid?

Honestly?

No I don't!

Honestly, do you think I am a liar?

Nah you are just a people pleaser...

...and that's ok

Fuck you to bits

When were you over at the parties at 
The Grindery when I was around?
But now you suddenly are all the time
LOL

I am actually starting to believe 

that you are paranoid

LOL
It's all about you Bock

Go jump in a lake and cool down

...or take another glass of cava so you pass out

LOL asshole!
Hope you feel better now!

Honestly?

Well do you?
Honestly?

I was waiting for the honest answer by the way

I did not see any point in continuing the conversation, so I liked every post and comment this person had made that I could find and then jumped off Facebook.

New York City is having one of it's coldest winters ever and it seems never-ending. This video is posted to help keep my brother Dej warm and to remind him that spring and summer are on their way.
