I’ve taken the Second Life plunge

After some fussing around, I finally fixed the duplicate packet problem on my wireless router. This fixed my annoying “echo problem” with Second Life, where everything I did was happening twice (chat would echo, etc.) due to each UDP packet being sent/received twice.

Now that I’ve gotten that fixed, I’m prepared to take a serious stab at getting into Second Life. I introduce to you, Dossy Shamroy:

I’m reading the clothing tutorials and will be making myself a wardrobe pretty soon, and look forward to learning LSL to do some scripting, too.

If you’re a SL citizen, feel free to look me up.

Glade’s “Angel Whispers” candle scent makes me happy

I don’t know what it is, but these Glade “Angel Whispers” candles have a scent that really makes me happy. It’s a sweet smell and not overly flowery: I don’t like scents that smell primarily of flowers. It’s a very mellow scent: the kind that doesn’t really get stronger the longer you leave the candle burning, which can really become overpowering.

Here’s a quick picture of the candle that’s currently burning on my desk:
