The 25,000L$ Survey Bot 2007-11-25 15:28:28 Back at Sony & BMG Island, there is an avatar named Connor Tomorrow which was a Survey Bot for SL (Second Life) Reasearch Group. It was conducting a survey on Real Life brands and in that particular case the brand was Sony & BMG. Those who’ll take the survey will be eligible to a draw where a total of 25,000L$ will be given away.
Taking the survey was easy, you just need to send an Instant Message to Connor Tomorrow and say SURVEY (all caps). It will activate him and he will give you all the details regarding the survey like who is conducting it and the breakdown of prizes.
25,000L$ is very encouraging so I took the survey and it only took a couple of minutes. It basically just asked questions about Sony & BMG, it’s artist, the island, etc. So, it wouldn’t be so difficult and I might even win some Linden Dollars from it.
I also searched for SL Research Group and they do exist. I even visited their in-world office.
There was really nothing to see there bu
Ahh! Windlight O_o 2007-11-23 19:33:52 With Linden Labs hyping the Windlight First Look Viewer so much that I finally gave in to my curiosity. I downloaded, installed and logged on to Second Life with it.
But first, I think they’ve resolved some issues with Second Life because my computer hasn’t freeze for 2 days now.
Now back to Windlight, I did feel that the Windlight Viewer is a little bit better than the regular viewer and I’m not talking about graphics quality or the new environment enhancements. No, I’m talking about performance. It renders and draws objects faster and the choppiness that I’ve always experienced was greatly reduced. So, if they were able to improve Second Life’s performance with the first look viewer then why can’t they apply this improvements (less the enhanced environment and other eye candies) to the regular/non-windlight viewer? I guess we’ll just have to wait for the next update and I’m sure that many residents will be happy if the regular vie

My New Skin 2007-12-10 10:16:22
Before, I thought that I would never buy a new skin but I was wrong. Today, I found myself shopping for a new skin and using Second Life’s new search tool I went from one store to another. My budget for a new skin was only 2,000L$ and I told myself that I would not spend anything more than that. I found some shops that sell skins for only 500L$ and another for 700L$. I even saw some that were selling at 250L$ to 350L$ but I didn’t buy from them because many of them looked copied.
While I was searching for more skin shops, Isadora Fiddlesticks of HodgePodge Magazine ecstatically blurted out in the Filipino group chat how beautiful the skins in Minnu were. I immediately searched for Minnu, found it and teleported there. I found her looking at some female skins and even tried one. I then left her and went to the Male section of the shop. There weren’t too many selections but at first glance I know that these were the skins I was looking for.
I selected the shaved tan
Update To My Little Philippines 2007-12-10 06:11:08 Last week, my very helpful landlord sent all my objects back to me. No, he was not evicting me but instead he was helping me with some problems on the land where my place is located. The problem was, while working on My Little Philippines
, I tried to rez some grass by dragging it on the ground. The grass didn’t rez so I tried again and every time it didn’t rez I will try again and again. What I didn’t notice was that even though the grass didn’t rez it still used a prim bringing my prim number closer to the limit. This was clearly a bug and after trying everything we can my landlord suggested to clear the parcel of all my objects by returning them to me and then just rebuild or put everything back. At first I didn’t want to do it but because there was no other way I agreed to it.
All my objects were returned to me which cleared the land of all the objects including the bugged grass objects. I then started to put everything back. Putting the objects back wa Read more:Update
Mysterious Windlight Bug 2007-12-09 18:43:34 I kinda like the Windlight First Look Viewer than the standard viewer because I feel that it’s more stable and loads faster but it does have some bugs in it too. A few days ago Linden Labs released another update to Windlight and it includes some bug fixes but there is one bug that keeps happening to me and that is the disappearing objects bug.
Well, the objects were not really disappearing because they are still there physically but visually they are gone. At first, I thought that the viewer could be reloading them but that was not the case. The objects were already loaded and I can select them. The only problem was that I can’t seem to see any of them once they disappear and the objects were not transparent.
It’s not a major issue because it can be fixed by logging out and logging back in but it can be sometimes annoying to suddenly see your building without a wall. LOL!
And another thing I like about the Windlight First Look Viewer, the save a movie feature works b
Shoes and Eyeglasses 2007-12-09 03:38:13 To complete my new outfit, I also need to find and buy a new pair of shoes and eyeglasses so again I hit search. I first searched for a pair of formal shoes though I easily found some shops but their shoes wasn’t really that good for the price they are offering. My search led me to SF Designs and there I found a very nice looking pair of shoes called SFD Tripper Lace Ups. It’s only 200L$ and it looks really nice. There were 3 sizes (small, medium and large) so to make sure that it fits my avatars appearance I tried the demo first and the medium size fits perfectly.
For the eyeglasses, I went to the shop that loaded fast, the ones I first went to took a lot of time to rez, and that was the primOptic shop. The eyeglasses are scripted but I don’t see myself using any of its many features.
I guess that will conclude my personal shopping for the moment and my tip to everyone, if there is a demo version of the item you wish to buy then don’t hesitate to try the demo

Age Verification?
When I first signed up with Second Life, it was clearly stated that it is for people 18 years of age and above. Those who are below 18 years of age are not allowed in Second Life but that doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy Second Life, that is why Teen Second Life was created.

Affordable Hairs For Men 2007-12-08 14:47:09 Second Life men are almost like a minority compared to the number of Second Life women and this is sometimes true when shopping for items for men. Almost everywhere you go there is an abundance of items for women.
Today I decided to buy my avatar a new hair or in this case new hairs. Using the new search tool I found a lot of shops selling hair but after visiting 2 shops which only sells women’s hair I decided to refine my search and I found Simply Britnee Mens Outlet.
The shop was filled with men’s hair in various styles and they’re only 150L$. After looking at all the hair styles available, I then bought four different hair styles for a total of 600L$.
Hair Styles: BlackJack and Ghaun
Hair Styles: Lajon and Canielm
I like the Canielm style the best and I least like Lajon. Why did I buy it? Well, it looked really nice on the picture but unfortunately it doesn’t look good on my avatar. To avoid doing the same mistake again, I decided to try the demos fi

Doesn’t Use Pagerank
This is what I’ve noticed with SponsoredReviews.com when I submitted a blog. They could be using pagerank in their evaluation of blogs behind the scenes but on the front end they clearly didn’t indicate it so I’ll safely assume that they are not using it all.

It seems that PGMA (President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo) just got into Second Life. Various news sources have confirmed that our (Philippines) President is now officially a Second Life resident. LOL!
