No pictures
No nothing..
I am on holidays and I have Internet but no sl. Strange new land. Lingering over dinner, sleeping when exhausted (which means pretty much all the time till I catch up), buying pencils to do some drawing, talking with my hands still......
Strange, very strange!
I am trying to listen to Joy Division... but it turns out borrowing your parents computers can mean hours of upgrading all the bits and pieces. There is no firefox, the adobe is out of date and so on....
You MUST leave comments so I know that SL is alive without me :)

Where it all began......
Tadah! At last Audrey has a blog of her own!
Who knows how often I am going to find time to update it as this is the third blog I am writing. Too many. One for work, one for personal and now a Second Life one!
I guess at this point it would be a bit difficult to go back to the beginning.. and besides I have already forgotten so much but in a nut shell:
After spending the decades of home computers with macs, in October 2007 we installed our first pc. So finally it felt like we had joined mainstream computer use. Like always I was ready to jump in feet first to Second Life which I had heard about.
I had no idea.
I didn't know what to expect. I didn't expect anything or maybe I expected everything?

I landed on Orientation Island and it was a disaster. Too many people. Too much lag. Too much water. Too hard to learn without having to move too far. At this very early stage we established that Audrey Fotherington (that's me) does not walk. Too much lag.
Press forward.
Wait 8 seconds
Shoot forward
repeat.
No control to speak of so I am always banging into things, bumping people, stuck in flower beds. Standing at the bottom of stairs. Caught behind the door. Wait until I design a house! It is going to be a lag friendly home!
I got off Orientation island ASAP. I landed on Help Island. Just as bad only the people there were horrible. Some one rescued me and took me to a sandbox to get me sorted.
From there I staggered off into Second Life.
I was stunned initially and still continue to be a bit surprised by the lack of people. So much of the place is empty and spooky. I developed a strategy of looking for dots on my map and ended up some how (and I just have no idea how) at NCI.
I sat down. Listened. Ran into walls. Put boxes on my head and with the infinite pateince of the regulars at NCI, settled in to stay.

Yes we are still here. Lag exists even when you're not on the grid :-)
/me waves!
I was thinking of you today as I moved the Isle of Aud and the lighthouse into the absolute corner of the sim. With the new configuration of land there, it now actually serves to mark the awkward 3-way sim corner.
Hello Miss Auds ! :)
Hi, Audrey. I hope you are enjoying your holidays and a break from your usual routine. I dropped in at Oxbridge Village yesterday to get a LM to the NCI location and jumped over to Southend very briefly just before logging out.
Did you finish reading my aetheric message? When you are back home, we are sitting down to have a marketing strategy session. Watching Jay, Reg, and myself jump around your parcels trying to find your builds was an exercise in laughter and crazed salesmenship on the parts of Jay and myself. One word, Auds - notecards!
Ooops Eleanor... Since the death of Fathom I am a bit higgledy piggeldy with the sales pitch.
Basically there isn't anywhere to see the builds... just a few that are my favourites out for habitation. Keep meaning to corner Dominic Web for a rezzing vendor thingy.
I got sorely tempted today and loaded sl here onto this holiday computer. I managed to gasp 'hello' to Jay before the whole computer gasped and died. I have uninstalled :)
Aha! Thought I saw you "on" for an instance! Enjoy your holiday - I am looking forward to another week of RL vacation with time to work in SL and those other online projects needing my attention.
El
Happy New Year from the deep dark past of 2008 : )
