Svarga


So Blade and I visited a sim named Svarga. It was phenominal! On Svarga, they are running a beta test to produce artifical life there. Below is a better explanation, taken from the notecard you receive when you get there:

Nearly all of the plant-life in this area of the sim is part of a beta test for a fully functional artificial ecology system for Second Life.
Everything is actually growing and replicating by itself!
------Sometimes you might come here and see nothing ! This could be because I'm testing the system and maybe it's been re-started. Come back in a few hours if that is the case.------
The system comprises...
- Clouds: Scripted clouds roam the sim and occasionally rain onto the ground below. The plant-life underneath soaks up water from the cloud, the amount is determined by angle and distance.
-SunThe SL sun provides energy for growth, it's measured by its position and the amount of SL cloud density.
- Bees.Little tiny scripted bees fly between fertile flowers


Its a cool place to visit, I had a blast. My friend Misty and her guy Tux joined us as well, and we played drums and chatted in an area where your conversation is turned into music.


There is an oracle there that will tell you your future. You pay $25L and you get a notecard, maybe two. This is what mine said:


"InfluenceOffering fortunate.Persevere.Marriage is fortunate." *smiles*


It's a very nice place to visit, you definitely don't want to miss this in your SL travels!!

Insight Eyes

Insight Eyes is my favorite store to shop at for eyes. I know some don't put much expense into eyes, since the only time one sees them is in photographs or up close, I however take my eyes as seriously as I do my skin, hair and clothing.

I made a purchase yesterday at Insight, as a matter of fact I made two, and the transaction cleared but I never received my product. So I sent a notecard to Carina Larsen letting her know what happened. Today, not only did she send me the eyes I wanted, but she sent me, free of charge a pair of beautiful "bluegreen" eyes that she likes that are not for sale. I thought that was very sweet of her to do. I absolutely LOVE those bluegreen eyes and am very happy that she sent them to me. The bluegreen eyes are pictured on the right. The ones on the left are called "Aquarium" and it's an actual aquarium scene. But you can't tell when you wear the eyes. My eyes however do change color every time they move, which I think rocks. She has several like this, Forest, Dream, Fish, Foggy.....so stop by her store and have a look.

She also has other eyes, natural, undead, evil, fantasy, anime, cartoon, glamour.....definitely worth a visit.
