Winter festive season! Blah, okay, call it what it is- Christmas 
Second Life was patched yesterday, with a number of new features pertaining to chat and numerous other things. It has been a rocky ride- the update window ran a couple of hours over the 12:00 PM Pacific “deadline”, and then the grid was, shall we say, unstable. Over a day later and we are still running in “not quite functional” mode.
Despite the problems, I was able to do a few things around the store in Mu. Our friend and neighbor, IceManiac Shatner, has generously allowed us to display his Chubbo/Chubbalina Christmas snowpeople. They are incredibly cute!
I’ve put some display furniture upstairs in the store, but I haven’t loaded everything into the vendor yet- procrastination is my forte.
I started building our “garden” as well, where Sydona will ultimately place some of her smallish garden “furniture”: gazebos, trellis benches and the like. Nothing is set up there yet, but the basic groundwork is done.
I also added a notice board to the store, Dedric Mauriac’s Message Board. I’d love it if the thing was networked- I could put one copy in each of our retail locations and change the notices from our home. Am I lazy, or what?
Right on! Hi Tomas. I wouldn’t have found this if it weren’t for your trackback… thanx for doing an extended comment!
Gosh, where I am right now, it’s getting *soooo* cold. Snow’s 1 ft. thick and I need more hot choco!

Welcome and greetings, Torley!
I forgot about the trackback- fun stuff. I’m amazed that you got here so fast: this site is still in pieces, stuff broken, can’t figure out how to get Snapzilla working in a widget- yet I post, and 20 minutes later there is Torley. You, sir, are a wizard!
Talk about seasonal surprises- I live near Vancouver in Canada, and normally this time of the year I’d expect +10 celsius and rain. Instead, we’ve had a week of cold and snow- over 30 cm where I am out in the ‘burbs near Langley. My car, which I normally love, has no clue what to do with snow under its tires. I’ve spent the week working at home, which I am fortunate to be able to do.
Off to KalTire tomorrow for winter radials, hurrah!
