New toys ...

So, I got caught up with the Second Life Blog this morning and downloaded the new Release Candidate that they were touting ... this has a fun feature that, when activated, shows the "rendering costs" of different avatars. This appears as a number, in green, yellow, or red, hovering over the head of the avatar. Eschatos here barely registers, with a score of 190 with his coffee cup (and its animation and steam effect), and a mere 142 without ... I was looking around Simuality Island (LINK) and saw other folks at 9180 (red) and 829 (yellow), so I guess I'm "treading lightly" on the servers!



This, by the way, is Eschatos in his current digs in the new offices on the second floor of the Simuality office ... the ground floor having being turned into a SlippCat demo store. So far we've been having to find our own furniture (we lost all our old desks, chairs, computers, etc. in the island re-boot), but I'm guessing that we'll eventually have a standardized look again ... but this stuff will do for now.
