Make-Over

There seems to be a common meme, if that is the right word, amongst blogspot blogs to have "Silent Whatever-Day-It-Happens-To-Be" posts occasionally that only feature photos. I clearly love the sound of my own voice too much to do that, but I do have some photos (and by photos, I mean screenshots) to put up here.

My avatar had a bit of a make-over. She is now a less-cartoony brunette who only walks a smidgen like a supermodel, though she is apparently still sexy as pixels go. I'm very pleased with her, but she doesn't really look like my old avatar, so I figured that I ought to introduce you before I start posting new screenshots and you think I've stolen someone else's. Apparently, she looks quite a bit like me. Somehow, I think she manages to look super-English, and I can't quite put my finger on why.

The Second Life viewer has been updated, too, so that now the interface does not appear on screenshots. Before this update, as you have seen, the basic framing of the viewer was visible on screenies, though any open windows or tabs, say, to my inventory, or any chat boxes, were not visible (to create those screenies of the chat panel that I used a couple of posts ago, I had to hit the print screen button and paste them into Paint Shop Pro to save them as jpegs, which was incredibly tiresome).

Either way...they will now supposedly look more like realistic photos of a (more) realistic person. I shall let you be the judge.

Say hallo to the new and improved Kitti:

Kitti 3.0

Because screwing my face up and sticking my tongue out is one of my favourite things to do.

I shall return with a less show-y post pretty soon, I'm envisioning. Maybe something about lag, or the gender politics of my new AO. Or maybe role-playing. Stick around?

  1. I would be fascinated to hear what you have to say about RP, now that I am stalking you.

  2. BTW, you can still show the interface in screenshots (in the old viewer you could set it not to, actually). There's a checkbox in the "more" options of the new snapshot window to toggle that.

  3. RP is definitely on my posts list. When I started this blog, I sat and wrote a list of all the things I wanted to write about here. I'm struggling a little with the order, and my posts end up being a little more lengthy than I intend because of all the things I feel the need to explain.

    Thanks - I didn't know about the interface thing. It's not a big deal, it's just something I noticed. Sometimes I worry about positioning of text and stuff when I'm taking screenies, then remember that the text doesn't show up, anyway. I'm still learning.

    Thanks for the comments - and feel free to stalk :D
