SL for Nowt

I’ve been sent an IM containing what looks like a scam hoping to pull in newbies with the promise of stupid amounts of free L$. The IM (which seems to have been sent to a LOT of people at random) reads thus:

[0:35] Gilchrist Kwassmann: Want some free lindens? we got a new system for you to make fast lindens upto $L5000/day, just go to ******************** <- check it out

I have, of course, excised the web address from the IM.

Newbies, if you get this IM, or any other like it, don’t fall for it. If it seems too good to be true (and this is too good to be true) then there’s a high chance it’s a scam.

(Yes, I searched for the avatar’s name, too. It doesn’t exist.)

A little tip for those that go on treasure hunts: sort thy inventory!

I just opened up my main Map window, to try and find a place to teleport to, and I boggled as I realised I had about 25 LMs, all going to the same place. A quick scroll showed several instances of this, and I realised that - after half a dozen treasure hunts of late - it was about time I cleared my inventory of extraneous and duplicate landmarks and notecards. You know the kind of thing: the same LM and info notecard that is put into every single prize in a gridwide treasure hunt.

Then I got stuck into the other LMs and notecards (again duplicates) that I had received when grabbing multiple boxes of freebies from vendors.

One and a half hours later and my inventory is 939 items lighter. Let that be a reminder to you (and to me!) to sort that inventory more often.

939! Sheesh!

Edit: Okay, I broke the 1K barrier because I’ve also just deleted all of the hovering text scripts in my inventory. If I want a hovering text script, I can write one myself. They’re really easy, especially if you follow Torley’s video tutorial: Fun with floating text.

Total unwanted items now deleted = 1109.

A: When it’s a roomlight.

(Just a quickie before I tuck myself into bed *g* I forgot to post this last week, and a quick look through my Photobucket album reminded me about it.)

I spotted this lovely lady at Artilleri last week. Actually, let me amend that. I spotted this unearthly glow at Artilleri last week. After dismissing the daft  notion that aliens had landed, I cammed around and noticed the glow was moving. A moment after that, it came into full view and I realised it was a facelight. The brightest, most blinding facelight I have ever seen.

I set the world to midnight, and this lady… lit up the entire store. I kid you not: these screenshots were taken at midnight:

Now, I have no intention of embarrassing anyone in this blog (nobody that doesn’t deserve it, anyway *wicked grin*) but I’m posting these to show that ladies… please check that your facelights aren’t so darn bright they completely obscure your face! I’m sure this female av had a lovely face, but I simply couldn’t see it!
