It STILL won't die!

Mistress hated my little lettering scheme even though it was one of my brightest flashes of brilliance. Oh well. Back to it i suppose. i am here and now publicly resolving that this will be the last time i will have to work on this particular project and You are all my witnesses.

i got to see Jan for the second day in a row. *smiles* But... about a minute after She logged in, Mistress logged in so it was a short visist.

Before that i got an IM from the Newbie Helper Group from a woman in the Philippines. What are the chances of that? i was amazed. She had asked about schools and learning in SL. i did a search for 'school' and even i was shocked. i literally couldn't find one that wasn't directly related to sex. That poor woman. i tried to point her in other directions though. Skydiving, music, etc. She had already done the dancing/partying thing and was wanting to get something from SL other than just melting her brain a little. I gave her some advice that was typically gackty.

i told her to make some friends. To me, SL is 100% about people. The ones you meet and the ones you cherish. In her case, for me at least it was about offering her a friend and some help when she was so lost. Jan knows just what i mean. Helping people is its own reward.

The Project That Wouldn't Die...

Actually this project hasn't been as bad as i might have made it sound. Just lots of repetition, kind of like typing lines.

i was sure i had finished it but it turns out that the project wasn't quite so done after all. Mistress said that each item has to have a description of 20 characters or less. 'White lace top that You really like (have to wear both pieces)' was a wee bit long. It now reads 'T-white lace'. T is for 'Top.' It didn't take as long as i feared it would to finish but hopefully the shortened versions will work and be clear enough for Mistress to know what it is. The whole thing might make me miss the times when She kept me in just my undies (although i really doubt it).

Manila time is perplexing. I asked a few people here if the Philipines observes daylight savings time and everyone said that they don't. Now that i am back it is obvious that they do. It is an hour earlier here than it used to be. I've put a chart below...

Basically i am 12 hours + 1 day different from most of my SL people (aka the east coast). FYI, this chart assumes that the information in the Internet is correct and i assume no responsibility for any errors or inaccuracies.

Wow... what a great idea! i am going to start using disclaimers all the time.

"i'm sorry Mistress but You can't punish me for that because of my disclaimer. i've had my legal people look it over and it is iron-clad."

Finally made it

i am back in the 'Pines (pronounced 'peens') after (no kidding) 27 hours of travel. i believe i will go to bed soon.

There has been a change to my online 'schedule' but things seem so up in the air right now i am scared to even write it down because once i do it will surely change. Really it is a change to my work schedule which is what determines my SL schedule. Either way, i will update here as soon as i am more certain of when i will be able to be online.

It's done!

Finally! i finished the project and it is a thing of beauty (hopefully). Everything is ordered by category (i.e. pants, shoes, tops, etc.) and then given a description (Pants - black w/ pattern).

All the 'extras' for each outfit, shoes, etc., were put into a subfolder called 'Extras.' i started out putting everything into subfolders called 'Not Worn' but after about half way through, i realized that if i ever needed to search for something i was wearing (i.e. type 'worn' in the search box) i would get hundreds of results so i went with 'Extras' instead.

i'm off to Manila on Friday morning and i land many MANY hours later. This flight goes Phx > San Francisco > Hong Kong > Manila. i won't be back until sometime Saturday morning SL time. i am SO going to take a sleeping pill (probably more than just one really) on this flight.

The project!

Geez is this a lot of work! i spent about an hour on it tonight and barely made a dent.

This post is a dud, i know but literally all i did was move folders around and rename things, etc.

She said it again

[0:55] Jacquelin Mazi: now... here is the thing.... listen very closely

i am starting to like when Mistress says 'This is important' or 'Listen very carefully.' It makes blogging a lot easier for one and secondly it (obviously) helps me know what to focus on.

This time was a little different though and ended up being quite a project. Mistress has a magical folder in MY inventory that lets Her control what i wear. So... it makes sense that i should put my clothes in that folder, right? And it makes sense that i should label each folder with a brief description of the outfit that it contains, right?

This is a huge project. i own nearly everything that Last Call ever made, same with Icing, lots from Nyte n Day, etc, etc, etc.

i am going to be doing a LOT of clicking and renaming and dragging and dropping. Yikes!

Updated blogger profile

i changed my Blogger profile tonight.

FYI - bullet points don't quite work in a blogger profile and the 1200 character limit apparently includes line breaks and...

... if i made a list of hairstyles from the '80s, i would probably use mullet points instead of bullet points.
