Not a Creature was Stirring....

The holidays have been nuts for me, along with getting used to a new First Life job that has alot of travel, hence my lack of recent posts, I hope to pick it up again in the new year. But from me and all the designers at IDG, a blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

PS Natalis has Snow! Dance and listen to the Christmas music there!

Stella singing for charity!

So there is no concert at Natalis today, because Stella is singing for charity again, which she does quite often. I fully support her and you should go help out her cause today, it's Make a Wish charity for children. Look it up in events and go listen to her beautiful voice and support her cause.

Where have you been?!?!

Sick. Dealing with Holidays and Family. Trying to adjust to a new job and travel. Unmotivated. Frustrated. very very tired.

So I've not been around alot. Thank you to those of you who asked, and those of you who didn't but pounced when I got back. The concert went off with Damian on Sunday and I owe huge thank yous to him and Nikki his manager and Neit, the woman who pulls my butt out of the fire when it comes to things like that. Our next concert should be Stella on Sunday but I need to confirm. I hope I'll be around more, but it's hard to get into Second Life when I've not sold anything all month. It begins to look like a money pit more then it looks like fun. I'm trying hard to rediscover the fun and not worry as much about the business. Bear with me.

Thanks for your support again,

Noel.

A few of my favorite things...

What I'm Thankful For:

My friends and designers in IDG. I won't put out their names because I don't want to embaress them, but they know who they are.

My family.

You, my loyal readers and customers.


I hope Thanksgiving finds you with more blessings then not and that the bright side blinds you.

Where I've Been....

Well, my streak has been broken, I was posting every day but Saturday for quite awhile, but I've tripped and fallen. This is due to lack of creativity and a ton of stuff hitting all at once. Yes I'm ok, and everyone at IDG is still ok. But I haven't been posting.

Tomorrow I get on a plane to go do family time for Thanksgiving and I won't be back until Monday with very limited internet so I won't be posting then either. Because it's Thanksgiving there will be no Live Music event on Sunday. Thank you all for your support and everything else. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

Live Music Sundays ~ Damian Carbenell

My apologies to Stella and everyone for last Sunday, rl interfered.... but...this Sunday!

Damian Carbenell is now playing a one hour set every other week for us and it's this Sunday at 5pm! Please come hear this talented singer songwriter and support his continued success.

Guitarist/vocalist Damian Carbenell picked up the guitar at age ten and added the keyboards soon after. He began to write his own music at age 15 and now has an extensive collection of originals and cover songs under his belt. A typical Damian performance might include the Eagles, Green Day, Jack Johnson , Bon Jovi, John Mayer, Rob Thomas, or even Garth Brooks and Toby Keith. His wide variety in music style is sure to please everyone. His MySpace page is here.

Second Inventory

So with the whole OpenSpaces aka Void Sim debacle I started looking at options, one of the open sim places I looked at was fairly good but I'll talk about that another time and it's still not ready for primetime. But in the course of looking for alternative building areas I came across the question we all have... how do I move items back and forth? The only real solution I found was Second Inventory. It has it's quirks but it does work. For a legitimate use of moving your own creations to other worlds this is a legitimate tool, though it takes a long time to work for each item. More info is available on their site but I managed to move a full copy of my house to my OpenSim sandbox and it looked just like it did in SL. Pretty neat, if you can put up with the headaches. It also has the side benefit of being able to perform batch uploads of textures, something I've been wanting in SL client for ages.
