RSS SL

1. SSP?

   Up in the SSP zone, moles have been steadily working on the new, evidently Premium Plus, theme, SSP7001 - SSP7020 . The first regions of this theme appeared last September. Interestingly, a partial clone (7 regions) of the new theme has appeared below it, SSP7001A etc.. Occasional work has also been happening in the LH scripting region (SSP83X), and in SSP Conspiracy III, which seems to be used when new model homes are being worked on. Probably both of these efforts are for the homes in the new theme? The snowy QT regions up in the SSP zone, which appeared early last fall and were only supposed to be needed for a "couple weeks", are still present.

2. What are you listening to?

   IMO it's the spirit of the thing that's most important. I don't have to even like a friend's music to love that they're playing in a band and having a great time being a musician. I like seeing someone make the most of SL in whatever ways they enjoy, even if they aren't all my ways. Way I see it, having fun and making your own little world and playing in it is what this place is all about, and he's one of the ones who's doing it right. It's just like how I enjoy seeing you happy about successes with coding projects and AI integration. I could give a fig less about some of the specifics, but seeing others' joy makes me happy. I will tell a huge secret, and I hope my uncle Arik never sees me do this, or at least is understanding that I mean nothing bad by it. My uncle Arik occasionally does live story readings. I can read a paragraph in the time it takes most people to read a sentence, and I have always been one of those people who does voice characterizations. He will have a bit of rum, struggle a little over some of the obscure words, do a few character voices which sound mostly like himself, have to stop and cough and adjust the microphone, and in general there are many moments during a live story time which would normally make me cringe hard if it was a stranger reading something I was unfamiliar with. But~! I find it impossible to cringe at all when my uncle Arik is reading for story time. He could stop and start over 50 times and I would just go "yayee!" every time. Why? Because he's doing something he loves, and he's not embarrassed to do it in front of a crowd of people. And his fun becomes contagious, and everyone has fun around him. Listening to my friend haltingly try to pronounce a long word makes me happy. I don't know how to explain it. It's just how I am. I like seeing people having fun, and overcoming obstacles, and sharing their results.

   I'm too scarred from the old ones. Fool me three times..

5. How Does Your SL Look Today?

   When I was setting up the fruit and vegetable stall, I suddenly felt like eating white asparagus. It will be in season in a few months. In the Netherlands, we call it white gold. Outside the Netherlands (and Belgium), I mainly see green asparagus. Are white asparagus also known where you live? We eat them with Hollandaise sauce, parsley, egg and potatoes, and they are only available for a month. We always buy them from the farmer.
