Where the Heck did this come from?

Knowing what an object "really" is or knowing who made it can be very handy. For example, the Isle of Lesbos prohibits weapons and some ladies frequently try to tell us "but, hon, it's only decorative!" Or you don't want to ask someone where they got that nifty doohickyjiggerthingy they are wearing but you want one so badly you'll melt without it.

This is where "Inspect" comes in handy. Simply right-click on the object (sorry, doesn't work with mesh layers like skin or clothes) and choose More. If you don't see Inspect in the next menu, choose More again then choose Inspect. A window pops up showing the name of each prim, who owns them, and the creator of each prim.

If you want to visit the creator's shop, click the See Creator Profile ... button and check their Picks or Classified.

Second Life's™ own Torley Linden has a video tutorial demonstrating this feature on YouTube. And an earlier post on this blog describes a similar technique for gathering the same info. But no matter which way you do it, gathering the information can be quite useful. If only to keep you from melting.

Flyin' Freebie!

Who can resist a Flyin' Lion? I'm on my Uni Jetstream. Fullly colorable and a blast to take to the skies! Get yours in Ginza (SLurl). Take the tunnel "ride" then head to the roof to claim this goodie! And take a tip ... Explore!!! I found this one after checking out a freeb posted in the Group Notices.

"We're not your Mommy"

Directly from Serenity's "We're not your Mommy" notecard (2008-05-10 23:45:30) with my hearty endorsement.

Kies, kinda tired of saying have the LM show on map to guide you or punch in the coordinates.

Seriously, no one has the time to tp everyone to every exact location and SL LMs don't always bring you to the spot. It happens.

So what can you do?

You can open the LM, find it in your inventory, right click it. Choose About Landmark. Then click the Show On Map button.

But that doesn't always work. So what else can you do?

Click the Map button at the bottom of the screen. Search the sim's name that you're in. Then type in the coordinates that are written on the LM themselves.

What else can you do?

Well you can complain to the group about being lost and someone might be nice and go tp you there. But most unlikely and Sereni will just bang her head against the wall cause people don't listen. e.e

Hopefully this cleared up for the people who're lost. Keep supporting the group, thanks. XDDD
