A six month absence

Finally, finally, something was done about that crappy video card. The poor old thing couldn't handle SL anymore and went all kaleidoscopic within seconds of logging in.

Thankfully, I was not completely cut off from the internet or Second Life. The backup connection (an old Windows POS) was a shared computer, and liveblogging around others is only occasionally comfortable for me, hence the lack of such bloggings.

There has been much change in SL since last I wrote, though, and not all of it is good, sadly. The recent land rate hike has sent frustrated members scurrying about protesting, complaining and seeking other options. Like Openlife.

I would go and sign up just for the name you want and come back in a year, though. That'll give them some time to work the bugs out.

Speaking of working the bugs out, I need to log into SL and set up my preferences for the new graphics card...so see you in world if you're online.
