Quite Oh: A Second Life

Apparently, Miter Lorefield has taken it upon himself to once again try to woo me though his well honed art of begging. While I have never truly appreciated what an art form one could make of sucking up, I admit it: I’m floored. Miter Lorfield has now taken to wooing me publicly, for all to see, going so far as to taking credit for bumping my google ratings on the use of my blog title. In all fairness, he did suggest that I subscribe to dmoz.org. Credit where it’s due. And now, the question is, with Miter Lorfield licking Quite Oh’s (admittedly tastefully selected) boots, what do I do when I meet his SL partner? How embarassing!

Note to Taegan: Really, I’m not encouraging him, I’m just trying to be polite! I think of him as my brother. You know, the brother that gets drunk in Las Vegas, dissapears for several years and only calls when he needs money? The kind that manages to find your phone number, regardless of how many times you move and change your number? Yeah: That brother. Really.

In the deeps of Africa, Quite Oh while searching for the last Blue Diamond of Eternity was myteriously murdered by an blood thristy psycopathic Tse-tse fly!

No…

Braving the terrifying height and oxygen deprived lands of Katmandu, Quite is volunteering her time helping the sick and under-nourished children, as her tall, dark and handsome (and ruggedly sexy) counterpart is nearing the perfection of the Cure for Cancer…

Shoot. Scratch that.

Deep in the Amazon forest, her tall dark and handsome…

Never mind. None of that is gonna fly.

I’m on short-term hiatus, taking care of unfortunately more mundane (“Create World Peace” is still on the to-do list), yet quite necessary affairs. I’ll be back to spread joy and sunshine wherever I go, and complete my work on SculptieCat to boot!

See you soon everyone, love ya!

Just a cool line in a profile. I agree with it.

It’s plywood! No! It’s a comic! No! It’s Plywood, the Web Comic. And it’s really funny! :)

You simply must check out this comic. It's the funniest SL comic I've ever read.

I’ve got a number of skins that are corrupted, most are freebies (thank goodness), but some are not. Does anyone know how to fix this? I’ve rebaked and to no avail. I’d like to try everthing first before I toss them out, just in case it’s fixable. Please let me know if you have an answer. Below is an example of what the typical messed up skin looks like.

OK, I’ve found a solution.
Step 1: Make sure that you can see your Advanced menu, to the right of the Help menu. If you do not, then press control-alt and D keys at once. That should bring it up.

Step2: Go to Rendering -> Features -> Palletized Textures (Control-alt F7. I have no idea what this is, but, it’s part of the solution). Toggle this to off.

Step 3: Rebake (reload the textures on your avatar) by pressing control-alt and R simultaneously.

Step 4: Toggle Rendering -> Features -> Palletized Textures again.

Step 5: Repeat step 3: Rebake by pressing contro-alt and R simultaneously.

Hopefully that should resolve the issue. If it does not, I’ve found that switching from one skin then back to the other (after having done this) sometimes makes the difference.

Good luck!

I’m told that the only way to find people to speak with and meet on my blog is to do “SEO” stuff, that is to submit to directories. They all insist on being part of the template as if you actually valued them. The fact is they are making money from us and I feel scummy doing it, but I’m told this is what I have to do. So, it’s done.

None of the agreements said that I had to believe in the company, endorse them or even respect them, so I don’t. But it’s much like putting up with stuff simply becaue that’s how the system is. I don’t like it, it makes me feel scummy and cheap.

For the record. When it’s on my blogroll, it’s because I actually do like them. When it’s not, well, it’s not.
