Yes, it’s true

You might have heard that I retired from NCI (New Citizens Incorporated) earlier in the week. Yes, it’s true. I had intended to keep that relatively quiet to avoid influencing anyone else’s choices, but word has this way of getting around.

It’s been a good long Read more ...

New Citizens Inc

Tateru Nino — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 03:43:00 +0000

At approximately 7pm SLT, a resident with officer permissions invited several other people to the New Citizens Inc group, and proceeded to eject all non-member residents in the group, and change the group insignia to an inappropriate image – presumably for the sake of a couple of cheap laughs. The resident had not been invited into NCI as Read more ...

This year so far has given me a wonderful treat – New Residents.

Specifically, about 13 thousand of them give or take. The core group of volunteers on Help Island has expended to a regular cardre. Focused, helpful, diverse individuals who are now spendin Read more ...

If you show me yours

Last week I lined up Yumi Murakami to run an off-hours Newbie Show and Tell at the NCI, to cover for those folks who couldn’t make it to Osgeld’s timeslot. Of course there will always be some folks who can’t make either timeslot, but I’m glad I picked Yumi.

She handled the whole event with enthusiasm and aplomb. Th Read more ...

SuezanneC Baskerville, Carl Metropolitan, Linda Coffee (I do so hope I got the name right) and I clubbed together on a little project. The result: a small plot set aside at the entrance to the park by the New Citizens Incorporated Plaza in Kuula, where anyone can join the Read more ...

Gunshy

Well, logging on this-morning in the Waterhead rez area, I discovered that I was being machine-gunned before the loading screen even went away. Choice. Obviously, that’s just the sort of thing to brighten my day after last night’s effort.

Teach them to fish

Taught my newbie building class at the NCI today. Only the one participant this time, but attendance is highly variable. It’s a very basic lesson. Camera controls, and nothing you can’t really learn yourself at the Ivory Tower of Primitives. Some folks like to get that personal touch, plus I Read more ...

I see grey people. Everywhere!

Well, things could be better. Looks like there’s a nasty cache-invalidation bug dealing with textures (and apparently also geometry). Things go into the cache and then they get removed. All in all pretty ugly. It’s not something that appeared to happen on the preview grid.

Apparently LL are hammering on another update, which s Read more ...
