Error: The Folder [a] is not writeable. Moment of Satisfaction

I was checking my store logs this morning, when I suddenly noticed a Linden had bought one of my kimonos. That was quite a nice realization, and a nice moment of thinking “wow, so one of them has been in MY store!”.

I sure hope she likes it. :)

Error: The Folder [a] is not writeable. Matter of Bathing

I don’t know if it’s because summer and the heat, or because I was reading a couple of Love Hina manga again, but I felt like trying my hand at a little rotenburo—building is fun too, after all, and it’s been too long I haven’t worked on something close to “furniture”.

There’s still much to do regarding the water (movement, steam…) and the pose balls (because people can’t click and sit on them if I put them underwater… right, they can’t?), but all in all, in spite of these few months of absence, I haven’t lost too much of the knack for using the tools. I also can’t wait to try the flex options, not because it’s the hype, but simply due to the fact I haven’t dabbled in that new area yet. New for me, that is. I’m pretty confident this wasn’t implemented in January yet.

But enough words—hereunder is a preview of the alpha version of my little open hot spring bath.

First version of the rotenburo

A Little Dose of News

Been such a while—again. It was high time for a little update!

I’m going back to college in September, which has meant so far mucho paperwork, lookage for a room to rent (possibly NOT expensive, hehe), trying to get a State grant (but I’m too oooold), and other various things. I’ve also been trying other games, but not that much, I promise, and I still check in SL, even if not as regularly as I should. Really, I know I’d better get my shiny bottom into gear and finish the projects I was working on!

My two stores are still open, of course. Being away doesn’t prevent me from doing that.

On a sad note, though, a HDD crash left me without my source files for almost all my clothing, so I can only hope there’ll be no corruption of files server-wide, or another similar type of bug, because I haven’t retrieved everything from game yet, and if it happens… I won’t be able to replace the textures. sighsighsigh That’ll teach me to not use a hard disk as storage space, heh.
