Glad to know others are interested and we’ll definitley let you know how it went…probably with a summary here on LINT and more detail on VLINT

Please do report back, though, in case us onlookers can’t make it.

Cheers,
Canadian Connie

Here’s the notecard. We hope the blog we are making to put this type of stuff will be ready by next week:

=============================
Moving In a Prim Primer: The quick guide to setting up your area or your library.
=============================
Objects in Second Life are made up of what are known as primitives or prims for short. Each object you see is made up of prims. Sims (areas of SL) have a limit to the number of prims that can be tolerated by a server. This is one of the reasons that Sims are divided up into parcels.

Your parcel will have a prim limit. To find out what your prim limit is, right click on your land, go to About Land and then click on the Objects tab. You will see the number of Primitives Parcel Supports (maximum you can have on your parcel) and below it you will see Primitives On Parcels (what you actually have).

To find out how many prims are in a piece of furniture or object you want to use, right click on the object and go to Edit (if you see a tiny pop up with a button that says More, click it to expand the window). On the General tab about middle way down the pop up window , you should see the number of primitives. It will say something like “1 Object, 5 Primitives”.

Some of the smallest objects on SL can have a high prim count. To learn more about prims and how to make objects you can take one of the classes that Eiseldora Reisman is offering. As always, feel free to contact me or Lori if you need help

Also, to cut down on lag the Land Manager, Brackish Ludwig has asked that we not use any particle producing objects, except on special occasions.

Chuffed at the though we’ve acquired a library cat. There used to be a website documenting library cats – I wonder if SL ones count??

For the “nuts’n'bolts” project, what about SLlibsAU, or variations on the “second life libraries Australia” theme? Or even virtuallibsau?

Maybe we should build a yellow brick road between the buildings

The Kansas Library people next door are very friendly and helpful and ALWAYS seem to be there. They’ll even give you a free T-Shirt.

Anyone interested in meeting at the SL library building tonight? (Sunday 19th November) at 9pm W.A. Time? That’s the earliest I can reliably make it, but I can try to pop in earlier.

I’d love some other people to put some bits and pieces in the building…or give some ideas…I’m really just fiddling to get used to the environment.

I’m setting up a separate blog to hang off LINT for the “nuts ‘n’ bolts” info about the project. We’re still trying to work out what to call it. Any ideas?
