Guy Clothes That Do Not Suck
One of my favorite clothing shops, the well kept secret store of Izumiya, has some new items. This one is for the guys. I like the casual look this store creates. This guy could be going to college or band practice and still look ok. But what sets Izumiya apart is not just their cool [...]
The Fermi HUD
NOTE: THIS IS A GUEST BLOG FROM PAYPABAK WRITER I learned about the Fermi HUD during a customer service call for MechanizedLife, which keeps my high-maintenance lifestyle . . . well, high! LOL! Of course the Fermi HUD is the polar opposite of that, a personal multitool that costs nothing. This HUD combines a number [...]
Artificial Avatar
Artificial Avatar (AA) is animated humanlike figure with special features controlled by written commands. I like artificial intelligence. Remember that robot maid in the Richie Rich comics? I want one of those. Data from Star Trek? We should hang out. Little robot boy from A.I.? He can come along too. In the mean time I [...]
Fixing My Avatar
Today I edited my avatar to make it look more like real life me. Yes, my avatar already looked like me, but the rounder head and shorter hair was begging to be changed. I can’t script and I’m not much of a builder, but I’m not too bad at making a realistic shape. I changed [...]
Dress Like a Jailbird
Have you been bad? Are you a law breaker? Are you a genius with a brother framed for murder who is getting the death penalty and you want to deliberately get yourself sent to prison in order to break him out? (Ok, yes. I’ve been watching way too much Prison Break lately.) Even if you’re [...]
Free Water and Fire
Elemental Anarchy Texture Shop has a number of freebies, but I liked the fire and water best. There’s a few other things in the box besides fire and water, and all items are full permissions so you can do as you please with them. Visit Inworld: Elemental Anarchy Texture Shop
It Speaks Your Language!
This is a guest blog from Paypabak Writer. Second Life being what it is, there’s a lot of people who just don’t use the same words we do to communicate! What’s up with that? But the Babbler (like the fish of the same name in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) makes sense of all [...]
Camp For Lindens or an AK47
Two things I like in Second Life: lindens and weapons. Not necessarily in that order. One of my alt avatars (my inner child as you can see) found a place to mop up for 3 lindens every 20 minutes, and right near there was an item camper you could sit on for 50 minutes to [...]
The White Room
Note: This is a guest blog from Paypabak Writer One of the great things about visiting blogs is the blogroll … finding out about other blogs from blogs you like. And I found The White Room that way, via a blog, which at the moment I cannot recall! Of course, the screenshot contest about Love [...]
Moshing in Second Life
Yesterday I was at a club called Liquid Rage where Guns & Roses performed live on stage. Oh ok, not the real GNR (and Axl looked more like Brett Michaels) but it was loads of fun. I enjoyed the mosh pit the most. In Second Life you can mosh without fear, ladies. You never have [...]
I-World Island Opens
I-World Island opened with a huge list of music performers. Some protestors showed up, however, raising Fix SL signs and blocking the view of the stage. It seems no one told them their signs should have said “SLFix” not “Fix SL.” Freakin’ wannabe hippies; at least get your signs right. There must not have been [...]
Panda Chair 30 Lindens
The sculpted Panda Chair is just one prim, and a measly 30 lindens. You do want to sit on a panda don’t you? He doesn’t bite. You can even adjust your sit position a little. Visit Inworld: Varusaka
Magical Mystery Shirts
My partners in crime from faux band The Penny Lanes (Lovely Rita and Lucy in the Sky) have made Magical Mystery shirts. They are selling for just 10 lindens. You can get yours at the Magical Mystery Field inside their house. Click the picture above the fireplace to buy the shirts. Don’t worry, they do [...]
What is a HUD?
Contributed by PAYPABAK WRITER Hi, I’m Paypabak Writer and I asked Shauna if I could add my two cents to her wonderful articles about our collective SL Fix! I hope to develop a series of articles that look at all the various HUDs, Heads Up Displays, that avatars use to make Second Life work better. [...]
Cool Dumpster to Dive Into
One of my favorite creators Cutea Benelli, has a Dumpster at Grim Bros. You can dive on into it and get some freebies. I’m there now. I’ve got a windlight, a fireplace, and other goodies. Even Cutea’s free stuff is good! Visit Inworld: GRIM BROS.by the sea
Hey Baby . . . ?
Over the last week in Second Life I’ve left my avatar in my secret retreat so I can listen to peaceful wind chimes and sounds of nature. I’m not disturbing anyone, not in a wild club, just off by myself. And yet I’ve gotten a handful of IMs from total strangers that say just two [...]
Inspire Space Park
If you would like to submerge yourself into outer space and ambient sounds, give the Inspire Space Park a visit. The planets, moons, and asteroids look great, and the tai chi a relaxing touch. A wonderful place to chill out unless you are seeking a solitary locale. The place seems quite popular, though the people [...]
Monkeying Around
I was tired, so the only interesting thing I saw in Second Life today was this monkey. I meant to catch it but it was quick and escaped. Fortunately I got a snapshot.
What Does ‘Rez’ Mean?
What does the word “rez” mean in Second Life? It could mean any of these. To create an object. “I just rezzed a box.” To take something from your inventory and make it appear. “Rez that porche so we can ride around in it.” To wait on your environment to appear. “I want to see [...]
What is Bot-Blight?
Many camping bots have black patches on them. I call this bot-blight because it starts small and spreads like a disease. If you see someone with bot-blight, don’t worry it is not contagious. It usually only affects those who run more than one avatar at a time. Somes alt avatars can get the bot-blight. When [...]

Camping – Liverpool
Liverpool is the first sim I visited when I joined Second Life. Over the last year builder Deroiste Quijote has expanded the place quite a bit. The camping was more fun in the old days when we sat on benches on the promenade in front of the water (I made many friends there!) but the [...]
Camping Spots and Money Chairs
When I first started SLFix I said I wasn’t going to give the location of camping spots. Finding a good place to camp is not easy, and there is competition for the good spots. I have been rethinking this, however, and have changed my mind. The way I see it is if you are cool [...]
SLProfiles.com & Free Gadget
SLProfiles.com is a social networking alternative to Myspace. The site’s focus is on Second Life so it can be a nice tool for learning of new places and meeting people. You can upload Second Life snapshots as well as real life pictures, so the site is also a kind of bridge from SL to RL. [...]
I, Robot in Dublin
I am fascinated by A.I., robots, androids, and anything that reminds me of a sci-fi novel. This is why I was intrigued when I visited Dublin and saw a bot standing there. Normally when I see bots I call in the Bot Kill Krew, but in this case the bot in question was meant to [...]
Magical Mystery Field
Marianne Shan and Magdalena Bing (my partners in crime in The Penny Lanes) have bought land and called it Magical Mystery Field. The ground is covered in flowers and it’s another place you can go to get a dose of Beatles. Last night Zues Merlin and his friend Upsidedown Sideways did a concert for us. [...]
Free Fandom Project
I was thrilled finding the Free Fandom Project on Second Life. Here is a room full of free famous avatars, clothes, toys, and items all based on popular fandoms like Doctor Who, Buffy, Harry Potter and more. The search said they had a competition going on. Are you a fan of Buffy? Asimov? BSG? Star [...]
Free Jackpot
My Second Life neighbor ML0RTD Kit is a talented scripter who has created a Free Jackpot. It costs nothing to enter. You simply click it with your mouse once, and the pot is increased one linden. The more people who click, the larger the winnings–so bring your friends. You can only click once a day [...]
Buy the Earth, Get the Moon Free
Betty Boop’s has a rotating Earth with a moon in orbit around it. The cost? 5 whole lindens. It’s not supposed to be a chair, but I’m sitting on it anyway. I wanted to be on top of the world! Visit Inworld: Slick’s Corner
