Second Life Mobile App, Broken Modems and Being Thrifty


 

Have you taken the new Second Life mobile app for a spin yet? 

I've been using it for a while, mainly to check group messages and to keep an eye on the ad boards. I've been pretty impressed with it so far.

Until recently, my WIFI has been sketchy, at best. I think it's got something to do with how many times the cat has tossed the modem against the wall and to the floor. I've got a temporary solution rigged up now, I'll spare you the details, but it means there's a much better connection. Now I can run amok on mobile.

Actually it's mostly me running into walls. I'm still getting the hang of the movement controls. 

I noticed today that everything doesn't rez. My animesh isn't there, although everything else seems to be. 

As an incentive, LL is currently offering a daily payment to premium members for each day you maintain a log in streak. Each day in a row that you use the app, the amount goes up. I think I'm up to L$40. Considering I do most of my shopping on the weekend sales, it's been enough for an outfit or two. 

In case you haven't noticed, I'm cheap thrifty. 

That reminds me of a fun story. About a month ago I ran in to one of the guys who would hang out on the wall with us at Bear. I said hello, asked if he remembered me. I mean, it's been a minute, ya know? And this .... person... says, "Oh yeah, everyone thought you and your little gang were kind of trashy."

*blink*

It was hard to keep my cool and not go full-on vengeful hillbilly on him, but I kept my composure and walked away. 

Anyways, I hope I don't run in to him again. Now that I've had time to think about it, I might not be as kind. 

I hope ya'll had a happy lovey-dovey Valentine's Day and remember all the chocolate will be half price tomorrow!
