It’s a great product, but dude.. it’s hard to set up.  I mean really, I’m struggling.  I’ve been struggling with it for about a week.  Not a solid week of endless work, just.. a bit here and there.

I’m getting it now though!  It’s getting easier.  The manual is good, I’m just not used to vendor setups at all.  It’s a little confusing to remember to drop the stuff in the server and not in my vendor prim uh.. dealie.

Setting up holovending for the products I have made (not for 7seas fishies vendor), and you should go check my shop out btw, is tough.  I can’t seem to get the recliners to rez upright haha.  So I’ll work on that again later this week.  I’d like to reduce my Onrez vendors to one with just everything in it, then set up some HippoVend around in the bear head shop and out at Tiny-Go-Round.. and anywhere else I find to set up shop at

I felt like my brain was going round and round.  I click the vendor, I click the server, I click the site.  Round and round I went.  I finally got it though.  I had to bring my second vendor that I’m testing with offline, then reset it.  RESET IT!  Not download, not go online, but R-E-S-E-T!  Reset, seriously, I’m not kidding.  Otherwise it won’t take the new name you make for your vendor.  You don’t want to go round and round in the brain do you?

Seriously, I need a break now hehehe

I’m trying to set up a vendor to throw my 7seas fishies in that I’ve caught.  That way I can set it up and maybe cover some bait costs while cleaning out my inventory too!  I’m always up for trades too!  If I have a fish that you want, even if I already have the one you want to trade.. eh.. it’s okay with me!  Let’s trade!

Except for if it’s a fish that I have only one copy of, I am keeping one copy of my fishies

The vendor won’t have pictures of the fish, just a generic texture in place that I made.  If you really want to see a couple of the fish, I’ll show them to you!

I have lots of common fish, rares, ultrarares, but only a few super ultra rares but no lolcats.  My first lolcat will stay as minemineminemine! :)  He will not be for nomnoms.

If I don’t reply to IM’s, just catch me later.  I miss IM tabs a lot, sorry.. it’s not just because I don’t know you, I do it to friends too (sorry guys!)

Eventually I’ll have all my Tinies products I made set up in the hippovend style vendor as well, with holo display.  i think that may help show off what I’ve made much better than a snapshot.  It’s all for sale to cover more bait and fees for classes I take around SL haha

I wish that they had not changed it so only the server status shows on the login window.  Instead, why not double up.  Do one for server updates and one for all the other stuff.  I never know when Torley has a new video, or something fun is announced.

It’s such a hassle to have to go read their blog rather than getting to scan post topics on the login.  Bad change guys!  Not only that, when I read the blog.. I can’t see the server updates!  What the heck..

Use Expression Engine for your blog or something, then you can have one blog show it all, one blog for fun updates for those who only want to see those, and one more blog for server updates for people interested in that for their RSS or in world media viewers.  Your main blog can show all entries from all blogs.

Do it, it’d be a good thing.

Yesterday I entered the speed build at Dreams.

I had actually entered when I first started in SL I think, but the lag was soooo bad. I’d repeatedly crash, get IM’s from griefers, get griefed while on the sandbox during non contest hours. I couldn’t take it. I quit going. It was far too frustrating.

I’ve been back quite a bit to Dreams land, and it’s lovely. I went to their Fair, I’m entered in the Backyard contest, I’ve done a speed build. There is a bit of lag, but no worse than any other sim. No crashing for the last week, no griefing, no disgusting IM’s making reference to either of my avatar shapes I tend to be in.

I’m glad I gave Dreams another chance, it’s very nice. The people who are involved with dreams are nice too.

I guess the griefers gave up and found a new sim to harass.

Last night the speed build theme was: Pinata!

Hard to see I guess, but it’s a tiger and a calico waiting on the candy to fall from the mouse pinata hehehe. It’s up on display ALL week out at Dreams! It’s just oustide the teleport area in the grassy area on the corner. (Right next to my Backyard plot decorating contest entry)

It’s a whole area of ME!

Then last night I showed at NCI’s Show and Tell.  I love it!  It’s fun forcing you people to look at my work :)  I showed off the cat treehouse that’s on my backyard plot contest entry.  Yay!  I love seeing what everyone’s making. 

Oops, sorry.. no photo of it yet.  I’ll get one when I finish the entire scene.

Mice are full of candy.
