This post is one I have needed to make a long time ago. This is totally in my eyes, my personal perception, as very few things were ever written down. Emerald is no longer what It was for me, I have been dedicating a ridiculous amount of my time to this project for near two [...]
New Computer o.o
So, picking out a computer takes ALOT of time for me. There is actually a decently complicated web of aspects to consider when you are trying to meet a budget, and still have everything work with each other. I have also had a few people ask me to pick out and build a computer for [...]
Hard Drive Failure Update
So if you remember this post about my hard drive needing to be recovered, its still not over. For starters, the brand new 2TB hard drive laura bought me brand new had bad sectors in it as well… what are the odds of that? That’s a total of three hard drives toasted in a matter [...]
Real Ink Verifyable Signatures
So I saw someone sign a credit card slip today with a smile face and a star, they mentioned that this was a light security feature to make it real easy to tell if someone was trying to forge their signature (without seeing theirs first at least). I thought that was a pretty neat idea, [...]
Onyx Bots
Who are they, what do they do, why are there here! are they evil? are they good? will they take my info! HALP I don’t know! I’m not involved with the Onyx stuff. Look, if you don’t like them, I made a Free GPL script that will let you get rid of them. https://xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=2289184
Hard Drive Failure…
On a side note.. i just turned 1000 today. Hard drive has bad sectors… being doing everything i can to fix / recover it.. for a while there it was a lost cause. Laura’s hard drive fried a day later. And the new one is already making clicking noises. notice the elapsed time on that… [...]
1 Mouth – 2 Notes (at the same time)
So most concert instruments can only play one note at a time, this includes trumpets, saxophones, vocal cords, etc. (some examples of instruments that can play more than one note at a time are the guitar or piano). However, with brass instruments.. you produce the sound vibrations by buzzing your lips at the desired frequency… [...]
Social Oddities.
First odditie: My last post.. Arabella’s comment. It was not unique, and it was echoed by about 3 different people to me as well in private. I am just completely confused… when did we get to the point that someone being nice made them a person to be warry of? I’ve had people saying I [...]
Nicest Neighbor Ever.
So we really have the nicest neighbor ever. He has been offering to let us use his tools, giving us some really good advice about the neighborhood, helping out Laura change oil, just, really anything he can. I looked out from my bedroom this morning and he was outside smiling on his riding lawn mower [...]
Bad People
This is going to be pretty general, and applies to allot of the negativity you see hanging around emerald. The main thing that I wanted to clear up is that everyone on the emerald team is a separate person, with separate pasts. We do different things aside from emerald. Skills does the CDS stuff. Fractured, [...]
Defence
To make things clear. If i defend someone, it does not necessarily mean that: I agree with anything they have ever said. I am OK with anything they have ever done. It only means that I disagree with whatever I am defending them from.
Paths
. I was brainstorming for a while on the way home from class, concerning the paths that humans naturally decide to take to get from point a to point b. I have consciously considered this way back sense middle school, and have tried to make my walking path as efficacy as possible, basically, a straight [...]
Surprise Flowers!
So.. we have this old ragly looking tree right outside our kitchen window.. A few days ago.. amazing flowers started shooting out of it! I love it.. (bonus points if anyone knows what this thing is) Edit: after a bit of research.. it turns out that this raggedy thing, is actually a sakura tree o.o [...]
Encryption in SL is LEGAL
Way back in the day that the Third Party Viewer Policy was being discussed, it was mentioned (perhaps by an unofficial source) that encryption within second life might be an issue. The grounds for this being that a side effect of having secure communications, is that it can become too secure, and remove any administrative [...]
Merge Saved Logins Back In
So the meerkat viewer has a great login grid manager that also lets you save user account information. After noticing there site was down, i was able to get ahold of Patric (thanks!) who uploaded the source I needed for me. That’s when I realized that I really suck at coding, and trying to merge [...]
Rage at blind bawwers.
So we released a new version of emerald. It has tons of fixes, and tons of new features. Took us about 30% of all the work ever spent on emerald to make it like that. We did extensive beta testing, and are sure everything is working. Yet all I get, anywhere, are complaints. Why didn’t [...]
Love, Sex, and Porn
love 1.00 sex 2.54 porn 1.56 Direct Link This is a graph of the total internet tragic of these terms. I find it somewhat disheartening how porn has shown such a dramatic change recently. It’s also interesting, that right before the new year, sex and porn spike, but right after the new year, love does. [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
LoLPatent
So.. after looking at precedent… I’ve decided I am going to patent my kids. That way when some dirt bag marries my daughter I can sue him. Edit: Now fiancee approved!
Security and Privacy
When security removes privacy, your doing it wrong. Furthermore, I hate people who abused privacy and ruined it for the rest of us. If you are one of the people that have caused the stereotype “only bad people need privacy”, I really hope you suffer greatly for eternity. “A thief always has the best lock” [...]
