Surfing and Jetskiing – Second Life style.

Well today got off to a rough start when my friend Duncan informed me that his house, dock, and most of his buildings had vanished into thin air. After reading Disaster!!! I was thoroughly alarmed and extremely dismayed. It seemed for sure that things would not ever be the same. After all, the “The Dock” is where I ventured forth into Second Life (SL.) Fortunately, things have been put right again and the rest of the day unfolded in a giddy, happy way.

Must have been the tension in the air, but we had a blast – Can you say “Skinny Dipping?” or… how about “Skinny Jetskiing” … I think there was even a Windsail involved too. Who knew that life could be that much fun? There were of course the usual glitches. I think one of my biggest pet peeves are the places where you cross into a “You Don’t Belong Here” zone, and not only do you end up being knocked into “God Knows Where” but you lose equipment and stuff. I think Coyote is still looking for his Windsail.

I learned a really important ‘techie’ thing when you lose something – go to coordinates (0,0) on the sim and take a look to see if your lost item has been dropped there. I tried to do the “Control, Shift, Alt, 5″ button to strip away the land so I could see lost objects, but for me, my computer is somehow set up to fire up one of my media programs. Note to self: Fix that!!! Anyways, didn’t find the lost object we were looking for, but I did find a rather umm… interesting picture… LOL. Next time I’m lonely, I’ll go back to that Sim and go take another look at it. ;-)

So, overall… an eventful day, but an interesting day. Now excuse me while I go figure out how to disable that media program from popping up when I use that series of keystrokes :-P
