I’m Back!
Wow, Long time I haven’t posted something here, I’m Really sorry about that 
This year has been really rough for me, I got too much of SL which pulled me badly from RL and then RL pulled me from SL, my blog got attacked or hacked in the summer and I felt it was not worth it to post something since every time I clicked some things in the Blog control panel my browser warned me that there was some malicious code or something, don’t worry about that, I asked my Hosting company to really verify what was wrong there and they wiped the server so I’m kinda installing everything from scratch
I only imported the relevant posts from the past and actually went through all of them and re-categorized and re-tagged all of them, I am also using a new theme which is more readable and I’m ready to focus on writing, I hope I will be able to post several stuff a week, There is a lot going through my mind and also outside of it so there should be some good stuff to read, I’ll try to be more personal and get deeper into topics than before.
Not all buttons are working yet and a lot is coming but you can already add the blog to your RSS Feed(s) or Google Reader
Many Posts Coming Soon!
Alvi!
Why i like Linden Homes
I am not a huge fan of Houses in Real Life, my main reason is that they’re hard to sustain, I feel there’s the same problem in Second Life, you Buy a 1000 prim land and you have to use 300 Prims to have a pretty house with a decent garden and then just furnish 25% of your house because you ran out of prims, i usually calculate that you need 15 Times more prims than the prim amount of your house so you actually can show your creativity and have the stuff you like inside and outside.
The Main reason i like Linden Homes is that you don’t have to sustain the structure and that you can’t upgrade to get more prims, that might be a very odd reason, but i like to be able to go low prim and be happy with what i have than having to upgrade my land and paying more
If you haven’t got a Linden Home yet i suggest you to get the Meadowbrook Quad one because it’s one of the smallest ones which make it great for such small prim amounts as 117 prims

My Journey Though satisfaction, that’s what you care about!
When i buy something lately i don’t care about the performance, disadvantages and even price, because it isn’t everything that matters.
I bought a unlocked 3GS iPhone 4 months ago here in Mexico, it costed me 900 – 1000 US$ most of my friends were like “Dude you’re crazy! you can buy a computer with that amount of money” but the reality is that with 1000$ i wouldn’t get the high amounts of satisfaction from a laptop, nor anything else, and i knew that because i owned an iPod Touch since October 2007, If you consider that something is more than what it is, pay whatever you can/want if you think it’s worth it.
I consider three important things:
- Time - The time you spend with the device, the time you save with it. Looking at Number 2 i say that you can’t make time, you can make money.
- Money – You can’t go crazy, spending a lots of money can be exaggerated, however, pay as much as it is worth it, not more, and if you find something for less, buy it for less just IF it gets you the same satisfaction
- Satisfaction – The most important part, the happiness, the good mood you get by using it, or rather sparing a bad mood for using a device that doesn’t satisfy you.
Those are the 3 keys to be happy with the device.
as long as it makes you happy, have it
SL: 2010 PREDICTIONS
Hi Guys… btw happy 2010! I feel this year will be great for us SLers!
These are my predictions
- SL Viewer 2.0 Will come out – it’s pretty obvious, Lindens Talked about it, even bloggers like me (image), peeps won’t like it at the first glace but it will be nice, it will also be more compatible with windows 7 CHECK
- SL Viewer 2.0 could come with better graphic features like shadows, mesh exporting and even more, if not it will come in a later version, my latest expectation would be for autumn or Winter 2010
- iPhone App, we could expect to find an official SL Viewer for the iPhone, hopefully with graphics, but in the worst case LL would buy already existing ones like SparkleIM or Pocket Metarverse’s Touch Life
- Maybe 100,000 Online peeps constantly later this year or starting 2011?
- I kinda doubt it but peeps say that SL will be purchased by Google, Facebook , Microsoft or a company like that, i imagine that all of those 3 companies want to buy it but i doubt they want to sell SL to peeps which don’t understand it, i’d hate to see SL as an Xbox Live accessory or SL as a facebook game like farmville lol
- Overall improvements which might annoy us at the time they come out but they will make good for the future
- Teen grid merged with main grid
- 2010 will be a growth year, they become more and more popular every year, they have to fix lag issues
- The XStreet Crash will stop but Xstreet won’t be the same, at least for 2009
I hope that most of this stuff really happens, it’s a lot of stuff, but i bet some of it will come to be real and some of it won’t
Best wishes! Happy 2010!!
