Just some rambling

Well it has been awhile since I blogged so I thought I would just ramble a bit. There is nothing really of any importance in todays post.

As many of you know I play around a good bit with the MMPOG - Secondlife there are so many things you can do in Secondlife and really its not just game play there is really lots of interesting things you can do. Like listen to live music (I know you can do that in RL) (Real life) too. However allot of the singers that sing within Secondlife are not your typical mega stars that you would hear on the radio. I would highly recommend if you have the time to check it out you can get a free account on their web site. One of the things that I have been messing with in the game is taking pictures yes you can take pictures if you are good they can be very stunning . Along with taking those pictures I have been using some photo editing software called Gimp. I have been messing with adding layers and boarders to the pictures I take. In turn I am hoping that this will also help me make the pictures I take in RL better. Some of the pictures I havve taken within Secondlife are:



The photo on the top was taken in Secondlife the only thing I added using Gimp was the Lens Flare (sun reflection) & the pink boarder
The photo second one down (is me as a dragon in Secondlife) I added a lens flare and boarder to that one as well
The photo third one down is Moriah Cosmos (Amy) In Secondlife
The photo at the bottom is me again (yes I have hair in Secondlife) LOL
Thats why its called Secondlife you can look however you want.

I am also staying a little more busy at work then I had been and on the home front I am still trying to get everything working with Ubuntu. I have gone through great pains switching my operating system on my home computer from Windows to Ubuntu but it is worth it each week I get something else working and break two more things LOL. Oh and one more link before I am done for those that want to know why I would go through the pain of trying to use Ubuntu see the site "Why Linux is Better"

Edit: I will say this before someone tries Secondlife and says to me "Hey my Secondlife does not look like that when I log in!"

If you want to get even close to the type of clarity, video, and water refections in the pictures above you need a high end graphics card and a high end PC to be able o have the kind of experience in Secondlife thats in these pictures.
