Dandellion at Living in the Metaverse has a great idea: » Let’s Make The Grid Performing A Bit Better, Please
Shall we? Stop whining about things are not smooth as we wish. We all know they are not. Let’s do something about that. Consider that an ecology action. If each of us spend ten minutes and delete all the trash that clutters our inventories…
The basic idea is that cleaning up our inventories will help ease the load on asset servers and improve our client performance. She suggests starting with
- freebies
- old landmarks
- notecards
- “floating text” scripts
- earlier versions of your own builds
- lost and found items
- demos
She is encouraging people to comment on her post with the number of items they’ve deleted.

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.

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)

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

There’s a blog push on to get votes for [#MISC-208] More than 25 groups! - Second Life Issues (BETA) in the bug-tracking system “jira”. If you’ve never been there, for this you just need to follow the link, and you’ll be taken directly to this issue. At the bottom of the left column there is a place where it says that if you were logged in, you could vote for the issue, with a link. When you click that link, you will need to sign in with your avatar name and password. Then you will be brought back to the issue page, and you can vote for it.
