New World Notes: Ophelia’s Gaze: Iris’ Top 10 Hottest Male SL Avatars for ‘07

December 26, 2007

There was a recent, small kerfuffle in the [our favorite virtual world] fashionista ranks when someone “proclaimed a dearth of beautiful men of [our favorite virtual world].” And so we have New World Notes: Ophelia’s Gaze: Iris’ Top 10 Hottest Male SL Avatars for ‘07.

What I like most may be what someone else likes least in a male avatar, that’s a given.

You said it, doll. What we have on Iris Ophelia’s list are boys, not men.

Oh, the irony! I rarely get around to sending Christmas cards in RL! (Click the image for a larger view. The graphic is from the December 1888 issue of Harper’s New Monthly Magazine.)

Another JIRA plea

December 22, 2007

Mr Oldsarge Dowd today raised this long-broken aspect of groups in [our favorite virtual world]: You should be able (permissions permitting, groan) to create a proposal for a group vote, setting the quorum, period the vote is open, and method of voting (simple majority, 2/3, etc). And indeed, you can create such a proposal, and group members can vote on it—but when the voting closes, the proposal totally disappear. Vote for it here: [#VWR-1146] Closed Group Proposals NOT SHOWING in Group Voting History - Second Life Issues (BETA)

My favorite JIRA issue yet

December 21, 2007

I’ve just been browsing through the open JIRA issues with high votes, and came across this one: [#VWR-1080] Span-cleavage slider for shirt and jacket layer definitions (and pants) - Second Life Issues (BETA)

We would like to see a checkbox added to the undershirt, shirt and jacket layers ‘Span Cleavage’ which causes these clothes items to render across the space between the tops of the breasts/pecs rather than following the contours of the cleavage. The skin layers beneath would, of course, remain unaffected. . . .

Maybe a similar thing at the pants layers too, so we can ‘Say no to Crack’ :-P
