Chag.

A wonderful new word, coined by Sparkaphat Doobie at the Fermi Show & Tell tonight. Chag = chat lag.

The Chag Monster. Chagged out. Feeling a bit chaggled. Got stuck in the chag.

RL back-definition: lengths of tough seaweed and old rope jammed around the propeller of a speedboat, bringing it to a grinding halt.

This word has possibilities!

Fermi Show & Tell every Saturday at 1pm SL time (Pacific time zone)

Some days you eat the doughnut, some days the doughnut eats you.


AKEYO sell the AO that I use, and I like their animations as well. They also sell various chairs stuffed with their poses. The ball chair below has eight, and these doughnuts have a dozen.


I want one of these in RL!

"I am Number 2."                           
                           "Who is Number 1?"
"You are Number 6."

Tura goes for another test flight.

North-east Sansara, from Swinside to Midge

The shoreline following sometimes works pleasingly well, but here it was a little vague, to say the least. Until I install some instrumentation, it's difficult to track down exactly what's going on. I suspect the ground gradient near the river was too flat and variable to give an accurate sense of what direction the river lay in. With the shore-finder producing noise, the navigation would be mainly driven by the contour-follower.

Tura makes precision sculpts.

There's a trick to making sculpts that I've never seen documented.

Tura is building a balloon.

This is the canopy. The texture is just a placeholder, with repeats and offsets set to align it with the underlying structure. The real texture will be rather more bright and colourful. Tura is a daylight person. I admire the crepuscular Bryn Oh, but my own preference is for space, light, and air.


This is the canopy design in my head.
