Going GaGa for PekaS May Group Gift!!

After getting dressed in my new outfit, I wanted to find someplace fun to hang out…. I found the INSILICO  sim, which is a Cyberpunk roleplay community @ http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/INSILICO/190/183/3603… You dont have to be a RP player to enjoy this sim though!!!  It’s got a full shopping district, dance halls, RP areas,  as well as apartments you can rent if you are looking for a new home in an environment that is certainly playful on the senses!!

BlogPost11_AApparently I wear my GAGA sunglasses at night!!! … Me and Corey Hart must be cozy and stuff!!  I may not have been sporting armor and a jetpack but I certainly felt stylish in my new outfit from PeKaS… This skirt and top ensemble is May’s Group Gift and fits like a glove <3  It also moves well and is textured with flair…

Server-side Baking2_001

Ok, so this really isn’t MY desk.. Jac Mornington was kind enough to lend me his place so that I could log in and get some info for the Server Side Baking (SSB) stuff that you all have been hearing about. Love asked me to share what little I know on the subject with all of you since, if you’re reading this blog, you care about the appearance of your avatar :)  So I tossed on some clothes I picked up from the monthly gift vendor at PeKaS Urban and sat down to draft up the info. The clothes include snazzy pin-stripe pants with loosened suspenders, a tank top, sweater draped over the shoulders, and a fedora (not shown.)

Well.. time to get to it. I hope this helps. If you have any questions… please by all means, pelt Love with them (kidding!)

<Starts scribbling…>

Linden Lab has finished working on the Server Side Baking (SSB) improvement. I am not a representative of Linden Labs nor am I an expert (except in my own mind) but I thought I’d share with you my answers to the questions that I hear most people asking:

Q. What is server side baking?  

A. It is a modification to the LL code which will move baking (or rendering) of your avatar to the region server that your Avatar is currently occupying.  Previously all avatars were rendered on your client (or personal computer, Mac, etc)

Q. Will I have to do anything to my computer to take advantage of it?

A. Yes.  All viewers will have to be updated to use it.

Q. Do I have to update my client?

A. No, you do not have to update your client, but your avatar will continue to render the “old way” which means that there may be white masks for some parts of your avatar or clothing because some textures from  the SSB code will not be recognized by the older client.

Q. What viewers have been updated?

A. The LL Second Life V3 viewer will be updated as well as most major third party viewers. Check with your particular viewer website for updates.

Q What are the pros and cons?

A. Pros – Faster avatar rendering with less resources needed on your computer. This means your computer will be able to do things in SL a little more efficiently.

Cons – It will require you to update your viewer, assuming an update is available.  As with any change, there is likely to be some issue that hasn’t been discovered through the beta testing that may adversely affect your experience within SL.

Q. Why Why Why?

A. Because it will make avatar rendering much more efficient since now the baking will not have to depend on connections and computers of individuals which can be very laggy at times.  If you have a slow computer it will not matter to everyone else. They will see a beautifully rendered avatar  a lot more quickly.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me! It’s Friday GuyDay again, and this time I’m bringing you The Guardian, the April group gift from PeKaS Design Gorean.

My skin is AKERUKA’s long-awaited new group gift, Caesar. He comes with the facial hair you see here, as well as the dark eye shadows. I’m also wearing the *DURA* Valentine group gift hair, which is still available (along with the Christmas gift hair), and was previously modeled by Kai Trill a few times, as well as guest blogger Kyle Beckett. It has a short ponytail in the back. Be sure to pick up the free pack of hairbases while you’re there.

Now, I’m off to drink some grog and count me booty! ARRRRR!

Snapshot_001

Yep, that’s right, I’m expanding my SL career horizons, and have opened up shop!  You can too…  for free by joining the Hypnotizing Creations inworld group and picking up their latest group gift which is this fun Crystal Ball Table with Animated Sits.

You can also pick up the Disco Night group gift from PeKas inworld group.  I thought it was gypsy looking so it was perfect to show with the table!  The gift includes the sequin top and harem pants.  Both are mesh products.

The hair I am wearing is an older freebie, blogged a bazillion times – but it works really well with this outfit and allowed me to colour change the scarf to match the pants!  This is Naomi from D!va – a group gift from way back that is still available!

All three groups are free to join, your luck is looking up!

I’m going geisha (sort of) in one of the items on the Midnight Mania Board at PeKaS. The Geisha Love Outfit comes with two-toned jeans, a graphic tank and a belt. Another Midnight Mania find are the Silver Rocked Hi Tops at Top Katz. My skin and hair can both be found on the Make Him Over Hunt.

PeKaS - Wolfenstein Outfit, G.O.T.H. - Destroyer Boots

I wonder how long I can park here before the police make me move again? There are new Midnight Mania items on the boards at PeKaS. One of the gifts available to be won is the Wolfenstein Outfit. Is outfit includes a brown leather jacket, a ripped t-shirt and brown pants. I picked up the Destroyer Boots, one of the many group gifts at G.O.T.H.

I’m still rockin’ the Mohawk I found on the MOOLTO Sisters Hunt at CaTwA. The hair comes in three shades. One of the other gifts I found at :sey is the Edokin Necklace. The gift room is worth checking out. Oh great, here comes a squad car. I better hook the trailer back up.  -sigh-

A Rocky Horror

Snapshot_001

PeKaS changes out their Midnight Mania prizes each week and this week in one of the boards is this very sexy, laced up belted booty suit and vest.  Pair the Rocky Horror Outfit up with a pair of tall black boots and you’ll be ready for your next event in Second Life!  There is also another midnight mania prize for women and two more for men, which Carson showed yesterday.

I chose to wear with the Rocky Horror outfit a skin that is currently featured at XYROOM!  The Amazona Choco Skin is available for sale at XYROOM for just 98L.  The beautiful, dark skin has a gorgeous frosted makeup theme and no cleavage.
