Here comes the sun
Fake or no, I don't think I'll ever get tired of these sunrises.

A visit from the man
Ksso Yamauba of SL-Messenger fame dropped by my house. I have been loving his Messenger gadget, so I am eager to hear what he has to say. Of course now he is lagged so I don't yet know the reason for his visit. Gotta love SL.

Optimization
Lorac here is one of the property managers on Horus. I've asked her to join my adjacent parcels so that I don't have so much hassle when setting media URLs and such. I like that she calls me baby. :)

Purdie
I am too beat to do anything today other than look at the pretty sky. No more code until my head clears.

Chise and her man Aldrous left me a gift!

Another RL victim
Fifi is another RL friend I have managed to lure into SL. Her background is in architecture, so I am eager to see what she builds.

Web on a prim
I can't get Kosso's Twitterscreen to work properly on group land. The new web-on-a-prim feature in the 1.19.1 release candidate viewer provides an easy, albiet half-assed fallback. I'd rather be able to assign an arbitrary URL to any prim

It appears to work
Preliminary test of my update servers went well. Next I will confirm that the servers can correctly differentiate between the beta and release versions of my product. That will have to wait for another time, because sleep calls to me.

So far, so good
Just fired up the new Windlight viewer. It's shiny and pretty. Let's see if the frame rates are improved.

Missing Image
Based on the appearance of my jeans and baseball tee, I suspect that the asset database is having issues following the recent upgrade.

They love David Hasselhoff
One of the things I enjoy about second life is that I can run into random people from other countries while sitting on my own couch on a random, lazy Sunday afternoon. This guy is a retired artist. He's been in SL for about a week and is just exploring.

Zen and the art of networking
Somebody I know through IRC mentioned that her husband is an SL-er. I pasted the SLURL to my home into the channel, and next thing I knew there was a tentacled beast at my door. Zen here has been in Second LIfe since mid-2005 and has seen quite a few changes. He also showed off a lot of badass avatars.

A fine day out
I had to enlist Lupercal's help in testing my latest changes to the SL/IRC chat relay. The server side code can now happily handle multiple avatars using the service at the same time. There is still much to be done before the relay is saleable, but this is a Great Leap Forward, as they say.

Let there be windlight
I'm running the Windlight First Look viewer since it reportedly fixes a graphics performance issue on newer MaBook Pro models. Just for grins I cranked the graphics settings up to "ultra." Performance became laggy, but I must say the sky looks great. The clouds you see behind me are actually moving and changing much like RL clouds. Impressive. Alas, this release still does not fix VWR-1749 which actually crashes my Pro, but LL seems to be hinting that MacOS 10.5.2 will fix that. I sure hope so. I've taken to keeping my other MacBook close at hand with the SL client already fired up, in anticipation of when the 17" Pro crashes.

New neighbor
Murtaigh here just moved into the old Ikofish house. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Midnight oil
Good progress tonight on my SL/IRC chat bridge, but now I am very tired.
