This really should be the end.  I got a domain.

More tights!

Mismatched height and sculptie bits this time!

How to make tights

So here is what I did to make the tights. First I scanned in a ribbed tanktop. I liked the stripey pattern for the tights vs a large knitted pattern.

Next I imported it as a new layer in an Eloh Eliot skin bottom. I adjusted the highlights and shadows until I had something that looked right. I also deleted the toes and any other layers I didn’t need.

So as you can see. It’s terribly easy, and I encourage everyone to try, or to buy a pair from me.

I made some clothing…And I liked it.

I wanted some thigh high tights that didn’t have a huge knitted texture on them to go with a dress of mine, and… I struggled. I struggled a lot trying to find a pair I liked. I struggled so much in fact, I finally broke down and made some myself.

They are mod to allow color-changing so they can easily match just about any outfit.  I hope you like them as much as I do. Only 50L.

I Also made a freebie pair that are no-mod done in Halloween colors:

Hopefully I’ll talk about how I did it in my next post!

Be very quiet I’m hunting gifts

Eloh Eliot, definately isn’t a one trick pony (like this should surprise anyone) and made the totally cute corset I am wearing, and I made a couple pose for the Halloween hunt we’re taking part in. Both gifts are *totally hidden* somewhere in our store.

If you take part in the hunt, we also have a secret location that has caused a…few mishaps. This poor unfortunate girl was reported missing last night.

Eudora Skin – Anime style!

I just wanted to see if I could actually do it…

I hope I wasn’t a copybot victim

I was a bit shocked last night. I had written a cyrolife killer a while back. (Well – a banner/ejecter). Tested it with a friend and then never put it in my old store because I didn’t have group rights. So instead I wore it as an attachment.

I pretty much figured Eloh and I were about the last people to be the target of a copybotter so I never put it into the new build. I mean, she gives her skins out for free, and I sell animations. Not exactly high dollar theft targets.

I’m sitting outside the new store last night. And all of a sudden the copybot detector attachment starts screaming at me. I click on the person and just eject and ban them. Then proceed to put the script into a box and deed it to the group.

I’ve been thinking about it a bit since it happened. Maybe they were after the sculpties I have made, maybe they wanted a copy of Eloh’s cute artwork. Or some of the unique textures in the build. Or maybe they just wanted a skin for their copybot so they didn’t look so suspicious stealing one from Redgrave. Regardless, copybotting has become a big problem in the past few months. And not just because I was potentially a target. So, what can I do to help? Well, here’s a script that will look for a cryolife client radar information, and return the person home and ban them from your store. It’s likely this script will be useless after several weeks because someone will edit the cryolife client.

//#######start copy

default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen(8281825, “”, NULL_KEY, “”);
}
listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
llOwnerSay(“Name: ” + name + “\nMessage from ” + llKey2Name(id) + ” was: ” + message + “\n” + “UUID: ” + (string)(id));
llTeleportAgentHome(id);
llAddToLandBanList((id),0.0);

}
changed(integer change)
{
if (change & CHANGED_OWNER)//if owner changes, reset the script.
llResetScript();
}
}

//############ stop copy

Place this script into an item you can deed to your land ownership group, and deed it to your group (you need to do this so it has the ban and eject authority.) Or you can wear it to see if someone is using the cryolife client.

My talk with Philip Linden

[14:47]  Philip Linden: thx katiri

The discussion was held in one of the working groups. Started with some people complaining that some of the Lindens have not been able to really communicate lately and some of their frustrations on not being able to fix easy fixes, when all of a sudden Philip was in the group and asking a few questions.

I’m hoping we’ll get some better roadmaps of features and maybe see a re-implimented “featurette” group fairly soon.

I totally smelled it.

I’d like to say it was just like roses, and I think I’ll leave it at that…(You can see the terror in my eyes in the first picture)

I think it’s the new lips, but Eloh really seems…evil….in that skin.

We were reviewing her new skin trying to figure out what changes it needed. I giggled a little bit looking at the belt from kari she was wearing and pulled mine out and as well as a pair of shorts from Abyss. To complete the outfit, we jumped over to HOC and grabbed their 30L boots, the top we struggled with for a bit. But eventually we found something that worked and decided to have some fun posing in the new skin. It’s amazing how great it looks on blonds.

In totally unrelated news, I put out a new AO finally. Both a fast and slow version. I was laughing too much with Eloh to get it on Xstreet.

I did file a JIRA

WordPress seems to have eaten a post. Anyhow, it was about 10 pm, Eloh and I were messing around putting tan lines on her skins. We do a few other things and discuss a “feature” of second life we discovered while goofing, and suddenly I see the lightbulb go off in both our heads. Our new neighbors pop in and we chat with them for a bit while I start writing the exploit up. I file it at 10:47, at 11:16 Soft Linden replies. I’m suddenly having a hard time being negative towards the Lindens.
