10% Inspiration/90% Perspiration
Busy busy busy. For once, I'm busy in SL and RL at the same time. I'm in the process of rearranging my RL office, but it's super humid out, so I'm taking the work in sweaty (not to mention irritable) stages.
In SL, I'm working on a prim-saving vendor for head_space (yes, I know there are vendors out there that are low prim, but I want to do this the hard way!). And Dan Gerstort has asked me to make a couple neon signs for him, so I get to play with texture animation. :) Hooray for educational fun! Can you tell that I was the kind of child who watched a lot of educational television? Still do, when I bother to turn off the computer and sit in front of the TV.
I've done a beta test of my first attempt on the sign and it's not bad. Not great, but I get how it works, now I just need to get the design where I want it and make sure it doesn't jump one pixel up for half the frames. Yes, I am that anal, thank you for asking. :D
This weird not-really-but-kinda long weekend (Independence Day here in the States), has me confused about what day it is. I seriously did not realize yesterday was Sunday until I logged in and idly tried to figure out which game show had been on that night. Whoops. Missed Building Shelter completely. Happily, Sumar was able to grab entries for Dolmere instead. She and her purple cast rock. Must remember to thank her next time I see her.
Unfortunately, the humid weather has me disinclined to sit around with the laptop exhausting heat onto me (I turned it off earlier today and it was still warm to the touch two hours later... that can't be good!). But fear not! There is a solution! ...yes, central air would fix the problem... but there's a better solution! A new desktop! So that the machine can... kick heated air out at my feet... um, wait. I sense a fatal flaw in the plan. Okay, how about a window air conditioner and a new desktop? Sign me up! The new desktop arrives later this week, and whenever I can haul the behemoth out of the basement and wrestle it into the window, there will be a/c. Or, more correctly, whenever I can coerce some poor brave soul to do it for me. :)
In the meantime, I'm doing short spurts of online time, short spurts of swearing that I own too much crap and sneezing at dust, and short spurts of eating ice cream. Hey, what do you want? Oh, some ice cream. Right. Sorry, let me get another bowl.

I want Green Mouse flavor.
