 From Zada Bury on August 19, "So far a simple drive, but there was a lot stressing me out and the sim-crossings was ... 'difficult'. After the main-part of the drive, was then also a visit of the RFL-event. The RFL event is pretty awesome made, but I am pretty overloaded with work at this time, so I have not enough time to appreciate it right. I try my best and give best wishes. Don't be fooled by my 'fast trough'."

 

At 4:18, she runs into a certain someone.

Reader Submitted: Hell-o-Wine

 

Zada Bury is best known for her "Drivers in SL" videos. But she also runs a club. With Halloween, so many venues were decorating for the spooky season. But where Zada is from, Halloween is viewed a bit differently. And she has her own ideas about what's really scary. So when it came to decorating her club, she had her own ideas.

From Zada Bury on August 4,  "This kind of "Bonus Leg" was happening after the regular drive. It was gone over the "RFL - Relay For Life" Event. I must say, about the massive content from the "old Linden Homes" , I have been pretty done. Also the Computer-memory was appear to be cluttered ... anyway the RLF was für me laggy and not rezzing right mostly." At 0.59 is a certain familiar face.

From Zada Bury. She and I were going around SL, and on a "2" shaped island found what looked like a giant weapon, "I will need a minute to pull that thing from the ground."

 

Last Day For The SLB

 

  For those who put off checking out the Second Life Birthday sims, this is the last day to so. One is about a Second Life myth, "Our Lady of Perpetual Silence." It's at SLB Delightful (212/184/21).

 

But there's more than just the exhibits. Zady Bury invited me to eheck out what's in the water. 

 

 And there was much to see off the beaten path. The Moles did some great work.

 

 Be sure to check it out.

 

Sadly, unless there's time to do one more update, this will be the last article showing the exhibits as anything other than a memory. After Midnight tonight, the SLB sims will close.

A Request To Extend The SLB Sim Time

 

Those with suggestions for Linden Lab are free to post them up on the feedback board (board for Land and Public works - here). And there are many. Among them is one submitted by Zada Bury of "Drivers of SL," titled "Enhanced Time For The SLB Event."

 

The SLB-event is one/the central yearly event(s) ... There are a lot other awesome events ones, too - I don't wanna "declassify" any of them, but the SLB is kinda central, include(s) a lot work from many residents, too ... and is controlled and sponsored (eg. the costs for the Sims) by (Linden Lab).

 

 

I ... try to participate in all offered activities ,,,But doing it in the 4 or 5 weeks, beside real-life, beside regular SL-activities ... while maybe having just 1-2 hours the day for SL is stressful. ... I barely made it to just take pictures the exhibitions, but not find time to get in touch with them.

 

Then it is ... taken down. After that, the awesome work of residents at the exhibitions is gone.

 

Zada suggested extending the time the exhibits are up until the next "big thing" (Halloween). 

 

Following the Second Life Birthday, while there are smaller, less publicized events still going on around the Grid, the better known ones go quiet, at least until October approaches with Burn2, Making Strides, and of course the Halloween season. So if enacted, some residents would have more to do in the summer.

 

Zada's post remains open for comments, and one can post comments here below.

From Zada Bury on June 29, "Bonus Leg after the 'regular' Grid Drive - a round on the 'RFL - Relay For Life'. ,,, This kind of "Bonus Leg" was happening after the regular drive. It was gone over the "RFL - Relay For Life" Event with a large number of Sims. I wasn't have that much time left, so I was done a fast round. Even while these fast (running) run, I seen a lot awesome builds around, which would have been worth a closer visit, but ... "that if life", you can say, even in SL I get in trouble with having 'too less time' for all."

At 2:09, Zada runs into a certain fox.

 

Reader Submitted Commentary: Community Roundtalbe for May 20

 

Last month, Linden Lab held a Community Roundtable to discuss with the residents issues such as the recent changes in the Terms of Service regarding child avatars. The Newser wasn't able to make it over. But others were, including Zada Bury, known for her "Drivers of SL" videos. She overheard just part of it, but heard enough to write down some comments about what she did hear.

Reader Submitted Picture: "Don't Pinch Me!"

 

 

 From Zada Bury. On St. Patrick's Day, some feel those not wearing green, you get to pinch them for not celebrating the holiday. While Zada's shirt does have a little green in it, she's making double sure nobody pinches.
