LL: Open Mouth, Insert Foot

It seems Linden Lab is running into all kinds of snafoos this evening. Not only are they spamming residents with multiples of their “XStreet SL” purchase announcements, they have been taking resident-owned images without permission! The graphic on the left is the email from Linden Lab, with the cutout of the original flickr images in [...]

Where have all the alpha’s gone?

Alpha sorting bug, screenshot from the JIRA issue. Iris and I were building yesterday for Punch Drunk and that fabulous alpha glitch was driving me insane when I was trying my hardest to build her a nice prim skirt. Having it untextured wasn’t really an option – I had to see what it looked like [...]

Hey all!

Tenshi, collapsed. Not shown: Kesseret Steeplechase, programming at the keyboard while Tenshi’s lazy arse is collapsed. You may be noticing that shoppingcartdisco.com suddenly looks a little different. We’re on the new server! Woohoo! (THANK YOU KESS) We’ll finish making changes this weekend and hopefully be up by Monday – OFFICIALLY. You may notice some entries [...]

SL5B Keynote Speaker Opens Mouth, Inserts Foot.

In an amazing turn of EPIC FAIL over the week, SL5B keynote speaker Mitch Kapor had the following to say about SL residents – especially the early ones: “So the first is, in the earliest wave of pioneers in any new disruptive platform, the marginal and the dispossessed are over represented, not the sole constituents [...]

What Would You Like to See?

You may have seen Tenshi’s post earlier about SCD moving domains. We’re getting everything all tidied up as we speak, so we won’t be losing any posts or comments (fingers crossed.) On our new host, we’ll be able to do lots that we couldn’t do with just WordPress. We can have basically any number of [...]

Quick Heads Up

We’ll be going through a new website refacing / domain transfer soon so if you find that your access to shoppingcartdisco.com is cut, you can continue accessing the blog at the old subdomain, http://shoppingcartdisco.wordpress.com Thanks for being patient.

A Fashionista’s Guide to the JIRA (Basic Guide)

File an AR! Go to the JIRA! Visit the JIRA! Clear cache and relog! We’ve all heard it several times; and if you haven’t, good for you. (It means you don’t have any problems! …or just haven’t told anyone about them.) The JIRA is the place you go to for Second Life viewer issues, website [...]

LL Group Changes: Affecting FashCon?

As part of our ongoing effort to provide you with the highest quality Second Life experience possible…we have identified and tested an issue that should help alleviate load on the databases. Starting Tuesday, 6 May, 2008, all group notices that are older than 14 days will be removed from storage in the database. (Notices were [...]

Hacked sites?

You know, I really hate it when websites and blogs get hacked to link to other areas. Especially when they send me to “free teen porn!” and various other pornographic sites that I don’t want to see- and even load the images. I suppose this is what you get for having “skin” as your main [...]

Linden Lab: YOU MAY NOT SAY OUR NAME!

…without a trademark symbol! Missing a “TM” and “R”. Get this – they’ve also put a cap on the abbreviation “SL”. Good luck with that one, Linden Lab. If they think that I’m going to go through all of my previous posts, Flickr, and Twitter and tack in a little “TM” symbol, they’ve got another [...]

Eloh Elliot: Update on Licensing

Another Shop Skin Modification by Tenshi Vielle. Crappy photoshopping by Tenshi. Yes, she knows the jawline is wavy. Any creepy associations with Big Brother ARE INTENDED. Insert intimidating growl here. Eloh finally got a chance to get online today and update her licensing info. You can all view it here. Some points to consider, quoted [...]

Exploits

Riddle me this, dear viewers. If you knew of a possible texture-ripping exploit that could, quite possibly, make a content creator disgustingly vulnerable… WOULD you blog about? Case in point: Nicky Ree’s little “admirer”, blogged here by Mui. I heard about this yesterday, as well as a few other new glitches which I will not [...]

wtf?

In totally un-fashionable news, is SL really screwed over today or what? I just got the oddest error. Add this to they wouldn’t let me log back in after an attempted relog for about ten minutes, and… is SL going for a crash-bomb-poof again today or what?

Second Life History Wiki

I was browsing the history wiki the other day and happened to notice that there is a very large lack of entries from the fashion world of SL. Given that, I would like to start working on putting it together. I know how to work the site pretty well now. If you would like to [...]

FirstBling

Alright. When I saw this on the Second Life website this morning, I thought it was simply Linden-sponsored prims. It’s not. It’s THIS

SL: Voice

I hate Wednesday updates. That being said, Haley suggested we talk about voice so, here I am. Talking about voice. Nylon – or Poly, I’m not sure which – told me I sound like Daria on voice. Great.

ON THE SUBJECT OF LAG: One more post for the day.

Maybe. I’m flooding posts today. Anywho, I feel it’s time to talk about LAG and its nasty habits. My friend Mobile Widget (owner of MO Island) linked me to this a while back and, quite honestly, I just simply bookmarked it and forgot about it. However, I feel it’s time for some cliftnotes on the [...]
