Filing DMCAs suck giant hairy balls.

How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was pretty ok. I ate a lot of food and saw a lot of movies. The best being a swedish vampire movie called "Let the Right One In."

Thanksgiving day was dominated by my Dad's girlfriend's family members, which made me nervous at first, but actually turned out to be pretty entertaining. None of the people who showed up were very dramatic. There were no fights or anything. Lots of laughing. So that was good. And how fucking awesome was it that Foster's Home for Imaginary Friend's parade float Rick Rolled the Macy's Day parade?!! That made my day.


Tonight, I saw my mom for the first time in 2 years and she didn't say critical mean things to me. My sister's new boyfriend, North (that's his name), is an engineer for HP and he was awesomely geeky. I like him a billion times more than all the previous sports obsessed irish italian racist slabs of meat she dated before, mostly cause he's like an awkward older version of me. Ok no, we are both awkward; he's just older. Did you know Voodoo PCs are made by HP?

My cat did not hairball vomit all over the apartment like I feared she would. I also don't think she pooped the whole time I was gone. O_o Unless I find it in some weird place later.

Lastly, I was gone since Wed, and I'm back Sunday at almost 2am. In that time there are 5 more people to write DMCAs against on top of the 2 other people I wrote up on Wednesday. So I just faxed a DMCA for 7 people selling, and 4 creators (meaning the people who passed the prims around.) WTF.
I'm less annoyed now that I found a free online faxing site, but still. What. The. Fuck. I'm even more WTF over the fact that the majority of the sellers set the permissions at no mod, no transfer. O_o why do they even bother to set permissions.

I have to insert CSR cards now.

CSR Winter Gift from Gritty Kitty

CSR is approaching!!!!
I wanted to get my gift ready just incase my job goes all sadistic on me about deadlines.

What we have here is a sketchbook. When you type it appears like you are drawing on it. There is a texture animation making it look like you drew the fug girl that you see in the above picture. It's mod so if you are the drawing type you can add your own texture to animate. It will come with very rudimentary templates to explain how to make it animate. Basically you make 4 panels on one texture.

Also on this bad boy that I fookin scripted myself with a little help (yes I am cocky... yes the script is probably terrible) is an assload of keychains. When you are just holding the book at your side they hang down the side of the book, when you are typing they hang down perpendicular with the book. Like you know.. how gravity works.

Also it comes with a pencil. Yay for a pencil!

All the sketches on this sketchbook are my own. There is a big picture of Fade I drew on the back and one of Sinjun in the little papers that are falling out.

What else...
I made all the animations myself in qavimator.

Hum I spent a lot of time on this peoples! You can get it by collecting stamps during the CSR winter event. I'll keep you posted when it starts.

For the record:

All in One script (the updated mono compiled one) by Scripts 'R Us, is really good. If you have the old one, upgrade to the new one cause it's kick ass.

The fact that it tells people when the scripts are loaded, has stopped people from IMing me that the script is broken. O_O The free time I get from answering those IMs is like.. the best thing ever.

All in one has texture change, color change, resize, and other stuff that I can't remember cause I probably don't use it.

Also, texture changing is FANTASTIC with the script because you can use multiple textures. The best example is on my hairs, you have the alpha texture and the regular texture for each color. It knows that when you pick Blue, to make some prims the alpha textures and some the non alpha texture.

So all the builders out there, get this.

I have the best mom ever

I shouldn't get my hopes up too much, since I haven't actually gotten an Xmas or B-day present from my mom in like 2-3 years. Last year she said she was getting me a fish eye lense camera and a set of salt and pepper shakers I found from a cool design store, but I don't think she bothered and I haven't brought it up. (Mind you I buy her B-day and Mother's day presents... >: / )

This year I'm going to see her for my sister's holiday party after Thanksgiving, and she asked me what I wanted. Knowing full well I wasn't getting shit, I said $100. Which I figured is a lot for her since she's kinda living outside her means in her fucking crazy expensive Manhattan apartment. But then... I saw the muppets...


I emailed her a link and said "I want this" and she said I can't change my mind now cause I own a muppet.

AWESOME. \o/

Surly the Cyclops

I forgot to post him to the blog.

Hair: Marlei

I love this hair so much I could cry. The braids and streaks are texture scripted and it's maxxed out on prims.
I found the reference picture on Flickr a while back and I was like dude, I am making this bad boy.

Marv the Monster hat

Nom nom nom nom nom nom.

Texture scripted for 7 color combinations.

HAIR: Hathair, for wearing under one's hat

Fade needed hair to wear under her hats. I wanted more short hair. And thus there is hathair. Hat not included.

This is kinda based off some kid's picture that I'm not posting because I think I want to try again at making his hair, just with sculpts this time.

Mini rant

NEX-Core are the ninjas of "model Managment" Reguardless of how many times I tell them NEVER to IM me or drop stuff on me, I still magically have these fooking flyers in my inventory.

I don't even know how I got this last one!!!

Crystal's Quotes: On the subject of skins with anuses.

[20:33] Noam Sprocket: so
[20:33] Noam Sprocket: I didn't buy the skins
[20:33] Noam Sprocket: cause they didn't come with an asshole-less option
[20:33] Crystyle Bukowski: it would have been the selling point for me
[20:33] Crystyle Bukowski: disgusting floppy asshole is the primary selling point for this classy lady

New hair; Slant

This was inspired by a picture Ana Lutetia sent me. See I do actually make stuff you guys send me!! :O I'm just very slow. The bangs on this are texture scripting. I'm using an updated version of the all in one script that I used on cani and crackfox. It will tell you when the script is done loading, which I hope will cut down on the "OMG MY HAIRS BROKE" ::5 mins pass:: "Nm.. it works"

There will be boosh hair in the future. I don't want to rush it because I want it to be perfect.

My country is full of awesome!

I'm happy that the USA isn't as racist as I thought it was.

I'm a moderate independent. I voted for Obama, not just cause Bill would stop secksing me if I didn't, but also because I think his policies will benefit me aka I'm a selfish dick.

I tried to remain on the fence (with the exception of hating Palin because I wanted Romney to be VP) because my impression of people online during this election period is that McCain supporters would burn my store down if I wrote on my blog I liked Obama.

I do though and he's president now, so if you aren't happy about it, well... here are some puppies:

Second Life Economy

Did you know that there is a page on the Second Life site that has all the Economy statistics?!!
I did not!

Check out the awesome Economy Statistics page.

What I found shocking was how few people profit as much as I do. I thought there would be thousands, but it's tiny! Do people not cash out a lot or something?

Oh wait.. this must not count SLX people.
BTW, LL has been instant deposit lately if you need to cash out.

I Voted!

I voted, but that picture is a LIE! I got NO STICKER. There were no stickers!!! WTF!

I took the fucking time and effort to color those ovals inside the lines and what kinda payoff do I get?! Nuthin!

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is election day. Polls open at 7am and close at 8pm.

There really isn't an excuse not to vote if you are registered. If you don't like the candidates then vote for your senators, representatives and other counselmen/women who are running. Choosing your representatives and senate are important because it will determine how much of a shitty time the president will have in office while trying to get things passed. Therefore, even if you think your presidential pick has no chance in hell, you can still fuck it up for the other guy. It's the whole checks and balances aspect of our goverment that makes things so ... great.

For MA, there are also 3 fun fun fun questions you get to vote YES or NO on. One is about taxes, one is about pot and one is about dogs. Wasn't the dog one on the last ballot? I remember voting about dogs last time...

I went to wheredoivotema.com to find out where in Massachusetts I can go (which is a block from my house, woot!)

Your candidate should have something on their websites that will help you find out where to go. If they don't then they are stupid.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY,
you get stickers.

Vote for stickers!

Grr

I am quite angry.

This will be another PS3 week.
