These included the mobile viewer in development, currently in a "private alpha" version Premium Plus residents can get on a waiting list for, and PBR Materials, which allow for the promise of working mirrors.

All of a sudden, one of their groups opens up, and someone goes "Hey, can someone give me a hundred Lindens?" Sometimes they offer to pay it back. But of course they never to. It's a low-level con to try and get someone to send them a little money. Sadly it's often a hacked account, which at the very least means a lot of inconvenience as the target will be thrown out of most of his groups. At worst it means the hackee ends up permanently banned. But it's always an annoyance to everyone else in the group, the chat being filled with grumbles. This includes Bellisseria chat, which has seen it's share of begging. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But someone in Bellisseria chat found a creative way to respond, and make everyone else grin. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Just after Midnight one evening, the following appeared on Bellisseria chat<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">[00:01] (Hacked Resident): Hey. Can someone lend me 100L me please? I promise pay it back tomorrow.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />There were a couple growls. But an Ina (Jantina McGregor) had a creative response. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">[00:01] Ina (Jantina McGregor): I have told you this before We sincerely apologize but your loan application of L100 is rejected by Linden Bank Of SL due to your bad credit history. We request you consult one of our Financial Specialists to improve your credit score. Consultation fees are L500. Please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you for banking with us :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">The result was a number of laughs and "LOL"s as the hacked account was ARed and booted. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Soon after, there was an announcement in the Relay for Live Volounteers group by Selene Jashan<br /><br /><i>New Challenge!!</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />How many of you have seen the bots in groups begging for 100L? Lets make lemonade out of lemons and when you see that, where ever you are, toss that 100L into a kiosk because I'm SURE that is what the bot was intending! Who will join me in this??? </i><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><i> Lets DO THIS!!</i><br /><br />Selene would add in chat, "We just got over 500L from doing that just now !! They hit the I Pink I can Group (laughter)" That got chuckles and praise, Trader Whiplash saying, "I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea!

Read more about the this years event here ... at "show more".
As like last year, this one was start with a "Love Train" ride and also the other activities was following the 'classic" (but good!) plot from the last year.
In this year, the starting point was at the "Bellisseria Welcome Hub" and all trains was follow the same lane.
I was this time not that early there, but I wasn't have problems to enter the Sim. I am not sure, if the Lindens was change the Sim to an 'Event Sim', which could carry 170 people ... or just turned up a regular Sim up to 100 people, as like an island-Sim. The way, how smooth it was running for me, I would guess on an event-Sim.
At the begin there was surely some known faces, but less contacts.
From the Lindens, I was foremost recognize Wendi ... she was look perfect fitting in and seems to rezzing the trains.
Beside was also a larger number of Moles.
The trolleys was appear to run this year on an automatic mode, while last year the Mole was operate them.
The one, I jumped on was have at least no operator.
The half of the ride, the 'Drivers of SL'-group was done at the last weekends Grid Drive.
The full ride was take around 40 minutes for me and there was not really unexpected happenings.
About the automatic operation ... and the more or less people on a trolley ... the speed was for some a bit different (more people causes a more lag on Sim-crossings and on the Sim, so the individual Trolley was been more slow). At some point it was come to a "clashing" of out trolley with an other one and we was continue "merged", but as the trains was phantom, nothing bad happening.
At the end of the train-ride was a TP to the "Isla of View" set up.
Sadly that was end in a crash about a disconnect for me.
The "Isle of View" was also unchanged ... and still good.
There was a lot know and unknown faces ... err ... avatars ... to see. I was feel, this year, more Lindens was there, than the last year.
This year was no spanking of Patch Linden ... but I was hugging with some of the Lindens, I seen for a while now - and even if I am not such fan of the "hugging" stuff. Oatmeal was this year also fun to pose with ... surely beside others, too."</span></span></div>Bixyl Shuftanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15409792769906782556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050813142440628460.post-17639739322922741342024-03-13T06:02:00.014-04:002024-03-13T06:02:00.135-04:00RFL Event: Freedom Rock<div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-m74W1Yu7XrN76jeQCuIMjF_eNfbOk5igDtgVBzv_8K2ppBW8HoFat4DNy7q6vVJzfWMBFlQCKsNXOdaUuCY8fspzFN_8v9fOAbezXQorOHzVwZhngH2kwdE1GW57XjgpwcliV4qp0PP2RdCqr0NnmxzyAcHaKVuK9lGxAkoeDcLh4vrA2YPFxA0-70_7/s1656/March10'24rezz_002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="981" data-original-width="1656" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-m74W1Yu7XrN76jeQCuIMjF_eNfbOk5igDtgVBzv_8K2ppBW8HoFat4DNy7q6vVJzfWMBFlQCKsNXOdaUuCY8fspzFN_8v9fOAbezXQorOHzVwZhngH2kwdE1GW57XjgpwcliV4qp0PP2RdCqr0NnmxzyAcHaKVuK9lGxAkoeDcLh4vrA2YPFxA0-70_7/w400-h238/March10'24rezz_002.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> High above the American Cancer Society3 sim, there's an outdoors-themed Relay event: Freedom Rock.

These include<br /><br />helping to build community through extension of learning best practices to practical application of those ideas and techniques;<br />providing networking opportunities for educators and the communities that help support education; and<br />providing access to current innovations, trends, ideas, case studies, and other best practices for educators and the communities that help support education<br /><br />One of the key challenges faced by the educational community is how to make the best use of new immersive technologies in a way that is sustainable and accessible based on limited budgets available to both instructors and students. Platforms that are free or open source, or that can be shared across a broad audience are showcased, including methods and research around best practices in their use and applicability.<br /><br />Our theme for this year is Mythic Origins.<br /><br />Mythic stories can provide a way to engage students in critical thinking and analysis, as well as developing their creativity and imagination. Mythic origins can provide students with a deeper understanding of their own cultural heritage and how it has evolved over time. It allows us to explore the origins of our socially constructed myths and legends that have inspired educators and their various works.<br /><br />Join us as we all share experiences and successes in how virtual technologies used in the classroom have helped shape education for the better.<br /><br />This year's keynote speakers are Wagner James Au and Dr. Nellie Deutsch. Invited speakers include representatives from Linden Lab, and the 2020 Thinkerer - Renne Emiko Brock. <br /><br />The VWBPE conference keynote speakers and their respective presentations are featured on the conference website (http://vwbpe.org), along with a program of exciting presentations, social activities, and networking events that will set extraordinary discussions in motion. <br /><br />The VWBPE Immersive Experiences showcase unique and interesting work being conducted across the metaverse.

One was Colourado, an art instillation by SL artist Cica Ghost. She looked around, and got to meet the artist herself. The other was Perfect Paradise, described as a sanctuary for people wanting to relax and having a love of music.

Sylys Sable (account name Sylys Weezles), has passed away. He died in late February of liver cancer. </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Sylys came to Second Life in May 2008. His profile listed his main appearance as an anthro pine martin, but had multiple avatars, "sometimes I'm a phoenix, sometimes I'm a gryphon." He appeared at the Happy Vixen a number of times, standing out in his avian avatars. He described himself as a "club hopper," and was in the groups of a number of others, such as Club Furzona and The Ark. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">In real life, he was Mark Merlino. His <a href="https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Mark_Merlino">wikifur entry</a> describes him as a founding member of the furry fandom, cofounder of one of the first furry cons, Confurence, in 1989. In early February this year, during a hospital exam it was discovered he had Stage Four liver cancer. He died a few weeks later. He was 71 years old. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Sylys had a <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sysable/with/7168226235">Flickr page</a> , and was known on Furaffinity as Sysable<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Rest in peace,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Bixyl Shuftan<br /></div>Bixyl Shuftanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15409792769906782556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050813142440628460.post-83299247754731125872024-03-10T13:00:00.006-04:002024-03-10T16:44:31.007-04:00Daylight Davings Time Takes Effect For US And Canada (Mostly)<div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">It's the second Sunday of March. And if you don't know, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time">Daylight Savings Time</a> takes effect for most of the US and Canada. That means last night at 2AM clocks went forward an hour. For most of us, that meant losing an hour of sleep or getting up an hour later. For some, it meant ending up an hour later at events. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But this wasn't the case for everyone. Arizona and some US counties, as well as parts of Canada, do not observe Daylight Savings Time. While most of Europe has it, it doesn't take effect until the last Sunday of March. For countries south of the Equator, it's the opposite. Parts of Australia and New Zeeland will be getting *off* DST in April.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But don't grumble too much. In October, Daylight Savings Time ends, so we'll get the hour of sleep back.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Bixyl Shuftan</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Bixyl Shuftanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15409792769906782556noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050813142440628460.post-35486112998391002382024-03-10T06:05:00.011-04:002024-03-10T16:28:55.107-04:00Cartoon of The Day<div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRUhQMKM2xp2vbigJrMmCzH7sKPk93l4oTDkL9RNcKwLllVc2xMEYGl98tfx5k3ebKudGrb5hYHJG5StAym1vmgoIhHaLUrShbmmWPQRkaRGI10YeCBQkXhB4dX-wvP5KZfeKBJDFNfkyYHzCQgtzZCY2yKq58arjLIjvT3_KJWDA-pz-iXVT1e1bHNs-x/s1656/bixylsmalldragonproblems.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="981" data-original-width="1656" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRUhQMKM2xp2vbigJrMmCzH7sKPk93l4oTDkL9RNcKwLllVc2xMEYGl98tfx5k3ebKudGrb5hYHJG5StAym1vmgoIhHaLUrShbmmWPQRkaRGI10YeCBQkXhB4dX-wvP5KZfeKBJDFNfkyYHzCQgtzZCY2yKq58arjLIjvT3_KJWDA-pz-iXVT1e1bHNs-x/w400-h238/bixylsmalldragonproblems.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> Taken at Bellisseria for Life.
