OMG, "blonde moment", and other things I found out

-




OK, first my "blonde moment".

I just noticed that I forgot in a lot of my previous blog articles that Blogger has a field named title. And I just forgot to fill it in.

And I was even so stupid to complain about it towards the template creator. Duh.

And then my OMG moment this week.

I just wanted to check if I even popped up when I did a search in Google on my name.

And of course, my blog doesn't show up. So I need to work on this I suspect.

But 2 other links showed up. And to be honest, seeing these 2 links made me want to open a bottle of champagne.

It seems that 2 of my blog articles have been published as links also on the SecondLife community website, woohoo.

The links to these articles are:

Hey, Welcome to my first post on my blog. Well, everything needs a start, so does this blog also. Anyway, I will try to be not like the others (I hope) and just post or even do a copy/post of already existing information on other places. No, the goal is that I achieve to publish as personal as possible on it. So what will you find here ? Well, probably some ideas by me which popped up when I was trying to mess in my photographs as an amateur and I achieved something decent (in my opinion, so it doesn't mean in yours :) ) Otherwise, nice places you can visit, or clubs that I like. But as always, it will be my personal view and opinions. And it is up to you to come back and read them.

Messing around...

Been messing a bit with my avatar. Well, it was the moment of the year for it in fact. Received a number of updates, so why not tweak a bit then with everything. I am in fact a very basic standard market avatar, Catwa head, Maitreya body. OK, I have added the V - Bento from Session to it, and that is it. Hair and so are paraphranelia that get easily changed, so I don't consider them as body parts. Now I was using as skin a LAQ ( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LAQ/154/67/23 )  one, and was rather pleased with it. But now I notices that the main activity of Sessions are skins, so I decided to give it a try and check their skin set out. And I was stunned by the result. They do take another approach. In fact they have one skin, in a number of tones, so up to this very simple. Their skin is developped specific for BoM (Bakes on Mesh  https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/bakes-on-mesh-r1512 /), but instead of creating a number of skins with different details...

I have an idea...

I was wandering in SecondLife recently like usual. And I ran into some kiosks that allowed you to click a link or to buy an in-world copy of a magazine. I also noticed that most of the magazines look for a public towards clothing and their trends. And often consists of a 50/50 mix of advertisements and articles. So in the end I was pondering and building the spark of an idea I had, and I started experimenting. Now let's first tackle the idea.  Let's imagine a magazine that although general, is a part directed towards the photographers in SecondLife. But on the other side it should also opens another view on places in SecondLife. The content I had for my eyes was more a mix of sim explorations that are photo attractive, model portfolio presentations, tips and tricks, and so on. I did experiment a bit with the software I had to see if I could come to a "blueprint", "draft", "sketch" of how I would see it. I spend some hours on it, and one of my first...
