Oh .... sorry, I just assumed .... sorry ... sorry.
SL is short for "Second Life." It is an online multi-user "game" (of sorts ... it's not really a game, per se, it is more whatever you want it to be). Anyway, it's free to sign up and play, although if you get a paid in account it is easier to do things and go places in the game. You can pretty much be whatever you want and do whatever you want in the game. There are areas that are devoted to particular types of literature, or to war games, or to science and education. Some of the universities have "islands" in the game ... and they actually conduct classes there. People from all over the world play (so purchasing a translator can be a must if you like to wander around "the world"). Some major cities have islands ... the ones for Venice and Paris are especially nice. I recently base jumped off of the Eiffel Tower .... loads of fun. In the game (in case any of you around here play) my name is Igraine McMillan. I have a furniture store, and a lovely home out on a private island ... complete with swimming pool and a dog ("Riley"). This last winter, I purchased a weather machine, made it show on my island and froze the pond so I could have a skating party. That's me in my human form, practicing my skating prior to the party. |

My favorite spot to read is an outdoor cafe just off of St. Mark's Square in Venice. It's quiet in the mornings .... very peaceful.
Yeah ... yeah, I know .... you can all laugh your asses off now. |

For example, if they are having dragon riding contests over in the areas where the "Dragon Riders of Pern" is the major theme ... then I'll turn into a dragon, put on my saddle, grab a human rider and go off to burn threads. Or, if I just want to roll down a few hills ... I become a hedgehog. One time ... I became an anthropomorphic cat with wings and flew around London ... just for giggles. I've even been a Martian and flown a flying saucer. You are whatever your imagination makes you. It's that sort of place. |

I used to spend a ton of time in Second Life. Now I live in a place with pretty poor internet service, and the lag is too annoying. So I spend all my time at Mobilread instead.
In SL, I'm "Nekokami Dragonfly." Usually my avatar looks more-or-less like me in RL ("real life"). Or so I've been told by people who've met me first in SL and then were able to recognize me on meeting me in RL.... I never had a cat avatar, though. I was trying to work out how to build one back when I was in SL a lot, and never finished the project. Did you build or buy yours? |

Sorry I couldn't meet you, neko-neko-chan-chan. Maybe next time. Based on the results of this trip, I suspect I'll be in CT frequently. I look exactly like my avatar.

I will have to look for you ingame (although I'm not on as much as I used to be). That is the nice thing about having between 4-6 screens hooked up to the PC at any time. I can be having a conversation in SL and hanging out here at the same time. Yes, 4-6 screens. Usually only four, but there are times that I set up an additional two. A lot of my work demands me seeing more than one electronic document at a time, and trying to page between them and keep everything straight is a major pain in the arse. |
