Our sim: DISTURBED

Jan 262010

So, having  completed testing for alleged sim crashing (2 sim crashes – both  Linden issues) by GRPS, I have  now put the shop back.  Selling the usual products (mens & womens clothing, weapons, Quantum Products etc).  I have also added an offsim 360 degree 5 panel TV – just hit play on your media buttons.

Having fixed my system I figured I would go play.  So after a boring time on Help Island Public, I went to Quantum.

I know Darling Brody would be sitting there somewhere. and who better to play with (Sorry DB – No harm done).

Check out the following pictures that show the harnessed power of Lua in the next best viewer FlexLife!  It is possible to manipulate any setting.  Haha brilliant!

As many know, my past is colourful.  My knowledge of SL things is quite good.  I also monitor my sites enthusiastically.

So following the queries through the search engines I discover this:

Dec 102009

Oh dear, it would seem the returns from the search requests are still coming in.  Here are the latest from the US (infact I could even give the IP addresses as I record that info too):

  • deadly chronicals – This is another blog listed in my blog roll.
  • second life griefer hud – Oh dear, it would seem this person has a very boring life.  Unfortunately I couldn’t provide the information required for this person.  Anyone who knows me would know if I would have ever worked on such a thing – XD
  • “darling brody” – A good friend who I believe to be Princess Diana!

So, keep them coming, highly entertaining.  in fact, I may even run a competition for the most outrageous search query to resolve my blog.

Don’t forget, IM Disturbed Warden my AI bot.  there is 1000L$ for the funniest conversation by Christmas.

The visitor logs I was using for www.disturbed.me.uk have had a long awaited update.  Now fully SQL based, they are far more efficient and reduces the load on the server.

The main reason for this is to enable plugin into the GRPS system and/or product listing.  Of course I will add an ‘exclude me’ option in the profiles.

Other news:  I have built a new build room on DISTURBED.  Everyone is welcome to come and see the stuff I am working on.  Not that impressive as I cannot use my textures because they keep getting ripped!

The Grid Griefer List is almost complete.  Hopefully this will help rid us of those pesky amateurs.

Yes, the EMO Hideaway is mine on BOOM (Quantum Products Land) – and No I am not an EMO.  The reason for  it is simple:  I am part of a few really large groups, and often the odd person jumps up and complains about another member.  Well they should join .EMO. it is just perfect for them!

Finally to the EMO who thinks passing me objects is acceptable: It is against TOS to spam, I am not interested in your affections or whatever you are offering.  Unlike you I have been around for years and as such I have learnt to decline crap.  I have never recieved anything from you, nor will I.  If you wish to recieve no more AR’s against you (even your alts, they know your mac and IP you know!) I suggest you turn your affects back to the king of Alt’s.  He thrives on your BS!

I am so busy scripting I have forgotton to post – XD.

Anyways, I take a break and get invited into a chat.  Turns out I am being accused of a flame war on youtube.  Strange, I only post videos of things I like on youtube.  And only have one profile.

I am assuming this moron is referring to the poorly constructed griefer videos his emo sidekick made to try and slander a RL charity.  Which failed, and that account was banned.

This guy suffers from little big man syndrome.  He believes he is someone special.  I will not lower myself to his level by naming him or his group.  I don’t want my blog showing up in google from his name!

And for the record: I will not stop making my role play game.  It is almost complete and your threats are like water off a ducks back!  I dont care that you copybotted an early hud (I wasn’t even using the database when you got that)  so your copy is nothing.  Unless you have managed to learn to read, type, script in html, php and lsl. And use a database.  I really dont think your threats of  ‘i’m gonna serve so much ass hurt by bankrupting your ass by selling my hud 10x the quantity you move!’ are of any truth.  You see, I have worked on this.  I do not need to BS my way through.  And you are right, I am not a salesman.  I am a scripter.  But I don’t need to sell something that is good enough to sell itself.

And, incase you wonder, this one will never activate from a copybot version.  We have ensured your scams will fail.  You will not do here what you did with bloodlines.

Finally, I still have about 80 slots for testing the release candidate (once I prove it doesn’t crash sims, another lie). Drop me a message if you are interested.

The People Against Oppression has helpful information if any of you are subjected to a griefer or stalker like I am.  Don’t let it get you down, I actually feel sorry for this sort of person.  So lacking in creativity they have to steal from others.  Yet if I passed you in the subway, and you held out your cup, I would spare a coin or two.  For I am not you!
