It's Thursday!
It's been a WEEK since I've started revamping Nora and trying to put out the new men's skins. It's been a VERY long week.
Our ISP has still sucked major monkey nose every day since this week began. Let's just say that trying to build in SL with 12% packet loss and a fruity connection is not ideal.
I'm currently waiting for The Cable Guy to get out here this morning and work his magic to tell me what's going on with our connection. So, hopefully, I can actually FINISH my work today.
Just a little update for the curious. Don't forget to join the NORA update group!
Wouldn't it figure! Of all the weekends that my ISP could start choking on itself, it picks THIS weekend! I almost can't believe it.
I've lost quite a bit of time due to the outtages, and I'll now have to reopen Nora sometime late Saturday/early Sunday. Argh. What a SL birthday this is, huh? Hehe, either way, I'm still having a great time getting this stuff ready!
Just, consider yourself informed.
First up, a big congratulations to Maryann Coanda for winning this week's skin raffle at Nora!
Also, a friendly reminder that Nora will be closed until Saturday to make way for both Entice for Men and renovations. See you then!
As luck would have it, one of my prior health issues has cropped up again. Namely a neck injury. This means that the release of Entice for Men has been pushed back a week. I know! It sucks, but I want to be safe and not push it to the last second.
Instead, I'm going to shoot for next weekend! So! Nora will be closed for renovations on July 5th-6th. If all goes well, it will be reopened on Saturday, the 7th. Wish me luck, I can't wait!
See you tomorrow with the regular weekly release!
In addition to tonight's previews....
More previews coming on Monday, this time there'll be a few face pics. Also, the release of these skins will be coming soon, and Nora will be "closed" for a day or so. The SIM, Sonata, will still be available, but the store will be less accessible and it will be hard to make purchases as I renovate.
Yes! New store, new skins, new products of other sorts. What better way to celebrate my third Second Life birthday? Okay, so I'll be celebrating a week early.
I'm still working diligently on setting up my new store! As much as I would have liked to dedicate a whole SIM to the idea, my husband and I are too eclectic for that. So, the rest of the store(s) will be centrally located at the hub. The rest of the SIM will be our own personal spaces for building, fun, scripting, etcetera.
Anyways! I have a few more things to get ready for the opening, which I've tentaviely scheduled for July 25th. Depending on circumstance, that date may change. Wait and see. There will be new a Entice makeup available, as well as another Relay for Life product. I'll also be trying to put out my fashions again, because damnit I do make clothing too! :)
A few weeks ago, I finished rebuilding my shoppe in Alpha Centauri.
I ran into a tiny problem, though. I'm all out of prims! x_x
Prim space is a vital neccessity when it comes to building in Second Life. However, sometimes one can bypass the issue by combining as many visual elements as one can. With the right textures, you can turn a 3 prim object into a 1 prim object.
The art of prim-conservation is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to prim-wrangling. Good texturing skills never hurt, either. With my new Entice skin line out, I'm sure I'll be doing more to conserve prims, soon.
Urgh. Well, maybe I'll learn how to deal with prim limits, better. I have two more major builds to work on, so. We'll see.
