Aaack - say it isnt so - Acc fel off his white horse - tell me it wasnt the pedestal too. Hope your landing was cushioned...you'll always be on a white charger, shining away to me . PS: Happy St Patrick's day!

Not fell. Just gracefully floated to the ground.

:)

And a Happy Day to all!!

Apropos nothing - A few pics from Second Life (SL) Tír

Our base is on and under a hillside in the South East corner of Eldfell sim.
We are right beside one of the major SL oceans.

The harbour and pub, with the hill behind.


Looking down from above the hill


Inside the pub


Our tall ship by moonlight


Underwater, there are fish and turtles roaming about

Nice schooners. Hermaphrodite rigged, even...

Nice pics, nice schooner, nice fish & turtle, and forgive me if this is a sily question, but just who is walking beside the ship underwater?

Happy day all!

In SL, we can fly and teleport.
We can also go underwater and not drown.

So under the water of the harbour there's 'stuff' to look at - and tunnel into a space beneath the pub.

The dashing figure in the picture is my SL avatar, Accasbel Barrymore.

Sigh...how I wish I was in SL so I could teleport and fly...I would sooo love to walk under the seas and interact with the wonderful life there...and to soar and fly would be amazing..and later to explore the tunnel beneath the pub...if only some wishes could be granted.

Aha - a little scoping out on the ole message board and lo and behold I find all the details on SL - most intriguing...when I get my new computer in, up and running...can I install it and play in it? Permission granted?

I should update that year-old+ bit on SL.

Getting through the new user gateways (Orientation Island and Help Island) is changed a bit.
There are a number of excellent places where avatars can go to get kitted out.

AL is very demanding on a PC. A good graphics card is an essential.

Tir in SL is open to all :)

Thanks Acc - when I get my new computer I'll make sure it can handle everything....then maybe I'll ask for help. It could be a couple months though before I get it and get it up and running.

Hi Acc - have friend who is very interested in Tir so gave him website address - he works with computers...very interested in exploring SL so told him go check this section for info....if he can't download it he may contact you as I seem to remember you saying the info needed updating. Hope he enjoys this site as much as I have over the years.

Question to/for Acc: RE: SL - you say very demanding on a PC and a good graphics card is essential. What would be the minimum specs required vis a vis memory/graphics/etc etc? May seem like stupid question, but don't forget, you are dealing with a techno-idiot here (TI for short) Thanks Acc - will watch for your reply. Hope you're having fun and lovely weather over their in the Emerald Isle.

Wow - we went from mid teen here to early thirty's overnight - 30 degrees C last few days...thankfully we have airconditioners...
So Acc my friend...still waiting reply - what minimum speed/memory/graphics does it require. Can any old computer run it or not? Hopefully you will have the patience to answer this TI. Shaman

Hi Shaman :)

Just noticed your questions. Accker's is prolly flat out right now, so I'll throw my hat in the ring with the info for you. Go to this link and you'll see all the details and info you require, and lots more if you care to explore a bit.

Cheers! :) Silk

Thanks ever so much silk - hope to chat with you soon - miss talking to you

Y'very welcome Shaman! :) Hopefully we might see ya sometime in SL, by the sounds!

I'm a member there under "Silk Shilova" if you're ever looking for me, and Indigo is also in there as "Indigo Broome". I'd be happy to take you on a tour of "Virtual TirnanOg", and a few other funky places in there. It is the way the future of chat/communication is going.

Accasbel really has made an awesome spot for our 'clan' in there, and you can drop in for a pint anytime of the night or day, just as you can here.

Even the art school I study with is now looking at SL as a tool for interaction amongst students, so that's pretty cool indeed!

Have fun and we'll see you when you get there :)

Hey Silk - love to take you up on that someday soon...miss seeing you in Tir - sent you a newsy email sometime aggo, hope you liked it. I was scanning thru Gigfy recently after a long tme away and found your site, thnk it was yours anyways, with pixs and drawins of cats?

hI aCC - DO YOU HAVE ANY NEW sl PIXS TO POST?

A lot of my time lately has been used up in fighting a huge blob of cotton wool.

I'm *very* slowly working on the revamp of the website and the SL Tir, and some links between the two.
It should mostly get done over the summer months.

Asks Acc if he would like to borrow her huge cotton ball blob blaster (nice alliteration eh?) or if he would prefer to do battle his own way.
Your ally in cotton wool blob fighting.
