Post-Apocalyptic
Contributed by Shauna Skye I must admit, me liking this video as a kid probably has something to do with my fondness for post-apocalyptic sims in Second Life.
How To Make Profile Picks More Interesting
Contributed by Shauna Skye Our Second Life profiles give us a picks tab so we can tell others about places we like in Second Life. Previously, I suggested the Lindens add a friends tab to our profiles because so many people use this picks section not to tell about locations in Second Life, but to [...]
If You Don’t Want Your Items Resold
Contributed by Shauna Skye If you don’t want something you’ve made resold do one of the following. 1. Make the item no transfer. 2. Put a notice in your item or in the title of your item saying “Not for resale”. If you allow transfer permissions you have to expect people to give the item [...]
Hiro Game “Addicting & Fun”
Contributed by Shauna Skye I’ve discovered a new game that’s easy to play, but involves some reasoning without frying your brain. It’s called Hiro, and all you do is match three or four tiles in a row. When the tiles match they disappear. Your aim is the clear the board of them. Tiles can match [...]
Gibson Guitars in Second Life
Contributed by Shauna Skye I posted about Gibson Island a year ago, but since new people still ask me where they can get a guitar, I thought I’d mention this place again. While there are a few great guitar places in Second Life, Gibson Island is the official location for Gibson guitars. I hate to [...]
Fnordian LimmerBot
Contributed by Shauna Skye Thought I’d tell you about LimmerBot. He’s not exactly a genius, and looks kind of like something you’d find in a 1970s disco or new wave music video. But Sundaye needed a companion, so I brought him to the new slFIX HQ which is being remodeled. The Fnordian LimmerBot speaks in [...]
“Free Land If You Strip” My Neighbor Said
Contributed by Shauna Skye Today I met the woman who owned the large parcel of land next to slFIX HQ. She IMed me to tell me it was for sale, and invited me to have a look and decide if I wanted it. I was really indecisive about it. It was tempting to buy, but [...]
Friends on SL & Beyond
Contributed by Shauna Skye Not long ago a reader asked how to make Second Life friends. While I’m no expert at making them (try Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People”) I have been thinking about friends lately and what they mean to me. First off, what is a friend to you? It [...]
Inspirational – INSPIRE Space Park
Contributed by Paypabak Writer I’m slaving away on this article for slFIX Magazine on Splintered Rock and sister Pay comes screeching into my airship, bouncing off the walls and Oriental-style cushions about this place, INSPIRE Space Park. I remember talking to one Quentin Foulsbane during an interview with his girlfriend about romantic places. I guess [...]

The Twisted Wheel Lives Again
Contributed by Shauna Skye The 1965 England sim, home of the Twisted Wheel, recently closed to the disappointment of Second Life mods and 1960s music fans. The place was known for having a scooter shop straight out of the movie Quadrophenia, music older than most of our parents, and for looking like a place in [...]
Thoughts on Hair Fair 2009
Contributed by Paypabak Writer Okay, this is more a reminiscence by my sister Pay Writer about Hair Fairs 2008 and 2009. While I do have some pix of Paypa’s plunder from this year’s fair to present, I don’t pretend to know fashion or be up on the trends. As with art, I know what I [...]

Obligatory Post About Shoes
Contributed by Shauna Skye I am not into shoes. They do not get me excited. They do not light up my life. My chosen footwear is usually tall gogo boots. Ok, I admit to liking the video Shoes. But hey, that’s just for laughing. The fact is I hardly notice what’s on a person’s feet [...]
