So Anyway... How the Hell Are Ya?

Just wanted to take a moment to let you know (if anyone's actually reading this shit) that this is probably the end of our journey here. I've grown rather tired of the whole damn thing.

I might be back. I might not.

Logged in here to tear down this blog. But ... well, I guess we'll just wait and see.

Cya.

Where'd It Go??

Where'd Hairy's Big Dock Go??

Well, did you think I was blowin' smoke up your ass on the last post? I meant that shit.

The sun set one last time on Hairy's Big Dock, then I worked all through the night to tear it down.

By morning it was all gone. Damn I'm tired. Ok, ok, so I just clicked the fuckin button and returned my shit then abandoned the land. Wasn't so bad.

Think that's the last piece of land I'm gonna "buy" for a while. I sell more in SLX anyway. All I need is a place to build and a place to stash a magic box (got'em both covered). Just not happy within the limitations of someone else's concept of a sim. ...and a tiny piece just doesn't offer the kind of seclusion I require for a happy anti-social existence.

I have a more profitable 1st Life project to work on, so I won't be in Second Life as much anyway. I'm better off just playing in sandboxes when I find time to log on, then putting my stuff up for sale and/or giving it away.

That gives me an idea for a post. One to be updated often as things change. Yeah, stay tuned. It'll be my next post.

Later.

Ya Know What? Fuck Rome!

No, I'm not talking about the country so you Romans can rest easy. I'm making reference to a previous post titled "When in Rome..." where I mentioned the dipshits who can't seem to squeeze enough SL clubs on a single sim, and that I'd just setup in a way that takes advantage of that type traffic.

Well, last time I logged on and looked there were FIVE clubs on the sim where I have placed my big dock. This brings to mind a statement and a question.

"Ya know what? Fuck Rome!"

...and

"What the fuck is wrong with you people??"

I simply chose the better of the two thoughts for the title.


Now to keep this short (and to avoid the possibility of simply bitching about the stupid shit people waste sim resources on while their neighbors are struggling to move smoothly within the fucking lag that they generate)...

I'm picking up the dock and I'm getting the fuck out of here. Last time I logged in I took a few steps after it all loaded then proceeded to lag-walk across three parcels. I logged out. It's bullshit!

On THAT note ... well, things will be a bit different in the journal. I'm not sure how, but I don't plan to buy any land for a while. ...and I have better things to do than to keep bouncing around to different locations to JUST start making some money when some dumbass (or group of dumbasses) comes along to fuck everything up. Fuck lindens. I want dollars! They're bigger.

Catch you later.

P.S. Please note the title change. JPI products still exist and will still be available on SLX (and soon metaLIFE), but they are not so much a part of the focus here that they deserve credit for the journal. This shit is about ME damn it ... the Hairy little pissed off evil bastard that wants to burn all these fucking clubs to the ground with the avatars still in them. Anyone have a hud for that? Yeah, there's a new title - Hairy's Twisted SL Journal. That should cover it. Now fuck off.

Where the F**k is Troy?

Hello again. Here I am once again to babble on without rhyme or reason about my Twisted adventures as a ... as a ... well, as whatever the hell I am in Second Life.

1st ... what happened to Troy? I haven't seen that fucker in-world for a few days now. ...and since I know he's scheduled for some surgery in the really real world ... I might be concerned. But don't tell anyone. I'd hate to ruin my reputation as a heartless bastard.

2nd ... what happened to Iga Clawtooth? Yeah, I know. Two missing persons reports on one post? What the hell is wrong with me? Like I care, right? Well ... I might. Maybe. Ok, ok dammit. I guess I do. Hopefully they'll both be back on soon and I can go back to not giving a shit about anyone once again.

Ok, enough about missing avatars. Let's move on. Shall we? Let's talk about ... my Hairy ass.

Yep, I shook it for a photo op at the "nearly naked" party at The Body Shop last night. It simply had to be done. Why? I dunno. Just my way of showing my support (and my Hairy ass) to my friends at The Body Shop. It didn't last long as I am a bit shy. lol

Please remember ... these folks are still trying to keep this sim alive long enough for it to fully support itself and hopefully pay Rot back for the time and money he has put into it. A little profit wouldn't be such a bad thing either. If you like hanging out with the clinically insane for shits & giggles ... it might be the place for you. Drop in sometime, and tell'em Hairy sent you.

Moving on... I made a new shirt.

Aside from this there has been (as usual) much tinkering.

A pool table, a new chair/love seat design, a couple new tip jars in the works and I even built a wishing well.

Why? I have no clue. It just happened. Could have been the weed. Or maybe from wishing that I had some more.

...and that's all for now. Unfortunately (for you) ... I will be back again soon.

Adios.

When In Rome...

As they say "When in Rome, do as Romans do." I think it means something about fitting in. ...and YES, I actually DID go searching for Rome just to take a photo to match the subject. Is that sad or what? :)

Anyway, to the point ... yes, I put the dock on a sim to be loaded with clubs and malls (and lag), but ... then again ... they are bringing in people ... and I have been selling tip jars. In fact, the owner of the mall/club on the far corner came over yesterday and despite communications issues (she speaks Spanish ... I don't) I made three custom tip jars for her.

So ... if it's clubs and malls they want here ... it makes sense to sell club supplies from this location. It also makes sense to build and hang out somewhere else. It's quite likely that this will be more of a store than a construction zone. I'll be doing most of my twisted builds on Rot's build platform.

On that note ... I must say I'm kinda proud of that fucker. After our last session together Rot's build skills have really taken off. I guess you could say we had a breakthrough. It seems there's a point (and possibly a perspective) that once it is reached ... everything just kinda starts falling in place. It just clicks and suddenly your builds go from freebie quality to rock solid, salable merchandise.

Take a look at this...

Yep, that's all custom theater seating by Rot Warwillow of The Body Shop. As this project has grown I've been in and out of the area. On occasion throwin out a few tips & setting up instructional displays as he hit a couple stumbling blocks here and there.

But now ... it's nearing completion. Kudos. Can't wait to see it finished.

Catch you later.

How 'bout a Fuckin' Ugly Tip Jar?

Ok, so we were bored, right? Just kinda sittin' around doing a whole lotta nothing when I decided to make a fuckin' ugly tip jar.

...and so I did.

Not only that, but I replaced my own tip jar with this new fuckin ugly tip jar ... AND ... I made it free to copy.


Now I know what you're thinking ... "Where can I get this AWESOME (but really fuckin ugly) tip jar?"

Well, all you've gotta do is jump on my big dock!

Doing What You Can ... With What You Have

Well, as luck would have it I'm on one of the only 3 "residential / light commercial" sims that actually do allow malls and clubs. ...and yet another club looks to be going in. Four clubs and a shopping mall on one sim. ...and still more spots to fill. Bummer. No, it's not the best place to build right now. I dropped a small script in a prim and it took nearly 40 seconds to load in and do it's thing. Fun fun.

But, land cost is low here ... and it's not as bad as it was when I made my last post. In fact, that day I visited a few other locations only to notice that they too were quite laggy. Perhaps a large portion of what I experienced was with the grid and not just the sim.

However ... the things I see sim resources being wasted on just makes me want my own sim that much more. ...and what I have is this tiny slice. I've been many places around the grid, and I've been in MANY empty clubs. Most of them just don't catch on. After a while the owners get tired of feeding their alligator (that means paying for something that isn't profitable) and they shut it down. But during those long days with no visitors ... the scripts keep runnin, lights keep flashing, the textures keep rotating ... and the sim keeps lagging.

I'm not sure how bad it's going to get, but ... should I decide to stick it out I think I might have to build my projects somewhere else ...then just set them out here. So the dock will be more like a shop and I won't be here so much. I dunno. I have a few ideas kickin so we'll see what happens. I have a place to build in mind. If that's where I end up ... I'll let you know.

Later.
