Princess Tessy - The Princess Diary - July 2007 July 30 17:30 Continued making our little castle nicer today, i saw an older picture and almost thought to move furnitures around to how they were then. But how it is now is practical so not spending energy on such things for now. Second Life is about half dead today, maybe no coincidence big problems show up after Linden Labs banned gambling. It might just have upset someone or a group of people enough to decide and cause LL some costs the way virtual casino owners ended up with. Actually i read about some 'exploit' bug reported in February but not yet fixed that might be the cause. Whateves is behind, i could not see the world map, could not teleport anywhere, could not search, and moneys were stuck Loading... and no transactions work. So that whole world is now just about halted. I am actually going to keep some presence in there, but only the regular me and some alts (alternative avatars/characters) for different fun. Once i get webthings happening again it will show up. But i will only spend SL time with Citizens. In fact after re-reading the negativity i reacted to lately i thought about maybe Happy World should be a secret. Maybe i should hide, not because negativity sometimes surrounds things, but because negativity just doesnt deserve even seeing me. Negative people dont really deserve to know what is going on in happy world. Negative people dont even deserve to see all the smiles, and dont deserve even pretending a nice *hug* i give to nice people is for them too. But i would prefer to keep most things out in the open, that way the taxes are also slightly voluntary and not so much to get things, but to support whatever is going on or planned and a way to show Mr Bear and me our efforts are appreciated. Something to remember here, nobody can do more than their best at any given time. Someones best will also vary with time, because it can depend on many factors. July 30 00:27 Mmmm... best put new positive things here so the negative moves to past pages in history. One always positive thing i think is going to bed, but first ofcourse nice goodnight hugs. *hugs* I do appear to be low on energy lately maybe that is why going to bed is so extra nice, when i manage to stay occupied with things i often end up not going to bed. Not in good time anyway, wich leads to that ever repeating itself of shifting sleepy hours around more or less. For now i will try to keep them normal, possibly later if there are many happy world citizens also living after US hours i could move my hours forward some. Or if many are from Australia i could maybe move my hours back some. But now bedtime and then me and hugfriends have two days to sort things out here. I really thought i would have gotten a lot done this week for homepage and other things too. I guess not, but like i mentioned i dont give up. July 29 16:01 And while this was about negativity, and i used bad language, even Lady Bear will not mind. Some jerks just deserve bad language, and even bad actions. Sorry for friendly people who maybe got a shock out of this last note, but that is how the oh so nice real world can be. That is not news to some of you who read here i am sure. *hugs* And it is yet another reason for us with a brain, hetero bi or homosexual (who cares?!?) to try and create a small happy world where love comes before many many other things. *bighugs* Love, hugs, smiles everywhere... oh the haters and selfish negative people will end up green with envy. *blrrrrp* July 29 15:48 Today we get busy neatening up in the little castle, i think some corners got too dusty along with other parts of happy world while i have been sort of lost. Next month i will be on webthings mostly. Before next month me and hugfriends will figure out what things have to start gathering dust instead of happy world, so focus is easier kept where it should be. *hugs* Just lately i got one of those shortsighted narrowminded 'comments' about a photo. Not even a photo in my homepage, but it was just negative. I thought sometimes, i should create a negativity page and just say to random stupid or jealous people. Give It Your Best Shot! Because i guarantee I am no weak Princess. I can bite back, in writing voice or action, and i can bite back real hard. So... lets just hypothetically say the comment was worded exactly like this 'ugh my name is MIKE ROWLAND, and in SAN ANTONIO TEXAS - we hang fags like you!' and from 71-82-127-102.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com wich means If i considered this a legit threat to my health, i could contact US authorities or local, and find out exactly who this person is. You know, ISP's usually do not get in the way of finding who uses their services for possible crimes... just a hint. Well, anyway. That person does not know me, at all. Does not know anything about his (the coward hiding behind a computer being a loudmouth...) ability to end up not crying if he said such things near me. Or end up being sent to a hospital. I mean for once, over in Texas the great place if i was there... i might just carry a Big Gun and if i felt threatened by such totally stupid language, i'd shoot him. I wouldnt aim for a leg, i would aim at the chest, in self defence. And if I didnt do something about such a jerk who knows nothing about me, it isnt unlikely a friend might. Perhaps a Big Strong Muscular manly man who found this coward of a person and spanked his butt until he cried like a big baby. Yes i think that is how such stupid photo comments should be treated, with a good hard spanking. It is just... i cant explain it. I almost laugh when i read things like that comment, because it does not hurt or touch me in any way at all. Then i think about the fact so many idiots act all cool and tough over the Internet behind their computers, i think again. And then i think about the fact whoever wrote that (probably not the real persons name) if he said that to someone in public. Well he better watch out then. You know i think in Texas the fags *hugs* should carry bazookas and blow such selfish people out of this world if they ever dare speak up without hiding behind a computer. Now this sounds like i did care about the comment, but i dont care for me because i have actually read worse random comments.  I do however care about the state of the world we all live in. And thinking about that, that kind of comment is just. Sad really. Anyone being prejudiced, narrowminded, shortsighted, overly egoistic greedy or selfish... why dont you all move to the moon? Please. Move to the moon, argue with each other, leave Earth to people with some sense. Oh, but please move to the moon without bringing any oxygen. In other words, fuck you. There how does this sound for a Princess who can and will bite back when required? I thought so, behave or get lost. And everyone who is a nice openminded person, stay here there is a million smiley 's that will just drown any such negative talk. And i just decided to do the usual, delete the comment. I am sooo sorry mr ignorant diaper-wearing little whimp, there wont be a negative page for you or anyone to pollute our happy world. Trash goes where it should be, in the trash!  July 27 20:38 Today was a failure, at least when it comes to focusing on being creative and doing useful things. So nothing update, no live picture either because i feel worse than yesterday about that. I may as well continue being useless rest of today, watch the friday evening science fiction hours, hug Mr Bear and hopefully find creative energy for tomorrow. I probably will, after useless days come the useful ones. I just wish i could have many more useful days and i am trying my best to make more days be creative like they once were. *hugs* I am not going to end up some failure of a Princess fading away and retireing from the throne. That is not an option when ruling a nice world like the Happy world! July 26 11:20 Actually i went ahead and sold the L... 'You have offered L$3076 for sale, at a limit of no more than L$267 per US$1.00.' wee! Go currency market sharking me. Well not really, but i already have shopped just about all i might need inside SL and just being in there has no cost. That, and i collect 400L per week in stipends. Of wich 300 is actually a bug, one of my avatars was once premium and got the usual 300 moneys a week stipend. But that was only about 1 hour for land buying purposes. Downgraded, that self still gets the stipend. So there are bugs that way too. But i wont tell Linden Labs, they deserve it.July 26 10:32 Hmm and the diary programming needs a little editing, it filters out links from inside the text. It was made to only have one link per note, entered separetely. That can stay too but i best find today how keeping links and also pictures in the notes was in the newer diary. Cherry picking from new diary that never got finished, and move to this old one that at least works to write in. July 26 10:26 'Wouldn’t buying anything in SL be considered a game of chance.' Wagering In Second Life: New Policy SL Forum Yes it is, and this news i just found proves it.  Wagering In Second Life: New Policy SL Forum You see, there are so many things Linden Labs have done wrong. One simple thing is assuming their claim the L$ has no value will ever hold up, especially if that world grows big. Difference between buying casino chips for cash or L$ for cash to play casino games? None! And the same goes for many other things. If you happen to have land in there, think seriously about selling and converting L$ to real dollars, and move them somewhere safe. Why? Gambling and sexy entertainment is a big part of the Internet, it is a big part of the SL economy, and with one big economy driving part being shut down, the other might be next... well, watch the 'virtual' L$ market if you own anything in there. Is just mine and Mr Bear's wise hint. *hugs* I only have about 10 dollars worth of L$ still in there, rest i sold waiting for more citizens being interested in creativity in there. I think i keep the small shopping funds there, never know when i find something nice to wear. Although i already did quite a bit of clothes shopping... i will show you later. July 25 23:14 This evening i saw beginning of cooking tv series with Jamie Oliver and another Fifteen restaurant in Australia. Maybe old but i havent seen that one, think i saw some parts from previous though. Hope i can remember to snoop on the tv wednesday evenings see how it goes. Hmm and to make taxes less of a headache for Mr Bear i snooped around a little and we can use Euro. So why would happy world prefer that? Well. The castle is in Europe, and while Sweden doesnt use only Euro but our own moneys the Euro works fine too. We can open a separate Euro bank account and it will work just like a regular. It works to have a US dollar account too, but longer ago i asked in bank they said that is mainly for import/export companies and things. Not really ment for what i once would have wanted. Well it is just less hassle for me and Mr Bear, and i think 10 Euro is around 12 dollars, so we can get to use the nice even 10 number. Also Euro value compared to Sweden and rest of EU change a lot less than the dollar value. I think dollars change value depending on many things, well those are weird things in my opinion. There should be just... i dont know. Moneys. One currency all over world, would also stop silly profiting by trading currency. Now that is silly, although possibly interesting too if thought of as a game. That actually reminds me of the recent focusing adventures, where i noticed just how important it is for me to do well with some things if they are done for game, but not so much otherwise. I will share that later too, and you never know maybe i get really good if i bother to keep practicing. Anyways tomorrow i see if i can sort photos better, and open the sexy princess home page wich i found a perfect naughty older photo i actually never shared.  So it will be quite simple, tourists (or citizens) start in the homepage for the proper me, or the sexy page for the naughtier things. Citizens will get better selection than that even, because i have this little idea about Your Princess... you pick one kind of princess or maybe two, and there you go. Maybe the bestest little webpage to visit regularly. *hugs* This all will take time, but part of the fun is the journey to wherever things decide to go. July 25 18:21 Uh oh again... for another reason. I never commented about it, but the latest raining over UK looked really sad when i once saw a glimpse of it on tv news lately. I hope nobody who lives there is too drowned. *hugs* Those things happen in Sweden too, and just now i saw a big newspaper headline... rainy weather is coming here. Oh well, that is one thing everyone on our planet should know without pondering. Mother nature does what she wants, and we cant change her decisions much if anything at all. Well, some would argue global climate changes are caused by human activity and they are, but that is just making mother nature angry. And so she rains more in some places, and also let some unfortunate people like south east Europe now get really really warm weather. I heard some true words on tv about those things. It will get worse. Sad but true. Where it is warm and dry, it will get warmed and drier. Where it rains a lot, like over UK, there will be more raining. But on a more positive thought maybe a lot of rain is why Ireland is green. I want to visit the green island sometimes. But i also want to visit iceland, wintery weather is not my favourite but it is a unique place on our planet for sure. July 25 14:40 No babbling yesterday... uh oh. Well i got lost in the 'get a refund' quest in the game i should really just quit and throw away. I was busy with that yesterday, sort of preparing to do more of it. So my idea was to get 200$ or 100 by selling game things for dollars. I realised today that i spend almost all of yesterday setting up things, and then today i gave it some thought. Yes, i can see doing this would work for a business in low-wage countries, or even where i live. But only if done as a business from the start. To me it is just that, even if the 'work' in the game is done mostly automagically on computer brainy two i have to keep my mind on it a bit anyway. Yesterday i spent all my mind on it, today i think it might be a waste. I know time is the most valueable thing any living being has, and so why waste time to get a slightly pointless revenge. I say pointless, because Sony Online Entertainment get their subscription for another month in the game now. Sure, if i complete the quest i will make a profit wich i would think of as a refund for ruining my game. Wich i played too much for two years... wich is why it feels so bad having rules changed to make it pointless. Wich means i should never ever play MMO games again, at least not even close to how much i did in that last one. Mr Bear and Lady Bear agrees, if i play some new in the future it will be no more than two hours per evening. And well since i paid another month i may as well see how that works. But the truth is it is a waste of time, and electricity. Actually i felt like explaining a bit about photo comments, the only thing i wrote last was i dont care. Wich is true about one thing, insults and such rarely affect me. Some things might hurt, but i can assure anyone that i have read my share of negativity. Any celebrity or royalty learns that pretty fast... ignoring negativity. Why care about people who dont like you? Sorry, but people who dont like me or the Happy World or what i do... go somewhere else, or maybe i should say, get a life of your own. I think the long time of much silence around here has made annoyances forget me and the hugfriends and the smiles exist though. I do care about kind comments for any photo, if you like one the only way i will know is if i get to know about it. *hugs* And also i do not mind naughty comments on the 'free for all' comment pages. I just think of those as lustful thoughts people have, and shouldnt really say near their Princess, but thoughts and imagination are the last thing to be censored or forced inside a mold in happy world. Free thinking is good and as it should be. But saying that, yes comments are sometimes thrown in the garbage can...  Oh and i think to make it easier for Mr Bear, taxes will be 12$. First we thought to use both Paypal and one of the money processing companies often used also for adult sites. This is because Paypal dont approve of anything naughty being subscribed to through them. At least it was that way, not sure anymore but anyway... better use a company that has no such issues and grey areas about what is ok or not. The little more than the nice old even 10$ is to cover costs. Well we are not really decided yet. So much to do, wich means i better stop writing here and do some webpage writing instead. Hope everyone has nice days and so. *hugs* July 23 10:15 Well this weekend ended up a bit less creative than i planned... but a new week means a new start in a way. As for photos, wich i know are a popular, they will get sorted into three categories. At least that is the latest plan, and it explains why some photos some might remember being here are not to be found, yet. That is because there will be nice photos, naughty photos, and naughtiest photos. Naughtiest does not equal nudity or porn for sure, but they may have texts implying just that. And that is what i mentioned earlier, a photo is what it is. But text can help change it to whatever a viewer imagines. And this also brings up the topic of, photo comments do not make a photo what the comments mention. I noticed that trend in the past, someone writes something horny about a photo, sooner or later someone else will come whine about it being porn. Just because a comment or some made it appear that way. But then that is often just jealous people anyway, and for the record i do not care. One fun thing for later (or soon hopefully) is to allow Citizens to suggest wording for photos. New versions or whatever to call it. Trust me because i know, it depends very much where a photo on Internet is placed, what is written around it, and what random visitors will quickly assume it is about. But anyway, for that there will be sort of separate and completely voluntary to visit or make a favourite pages. Its really simple, if you soon want to snoop at Sexy Princess Tessy you click that link. If you prefer the regal normal me, you dont go there. And same with the third 'level' of modeling fun. So that is the new photo idea, i just cant throw away the old things i did. They are art and usually took planning to do. Besides there is no law in happy world saying erotic happiness is bad or wrong. Happy comes in many ways, but i will keep commenting and contents separate and citizens best realise i will be upset if someone doesnt follow that idea. Words like sexy, hot, babe or whatever are not allowed at all in citizen photo comments. You will see the difference later if you do move in here. *hugs* This is actually no new idea, i had it a long time. It just never got done properly, but now i am working on it again. July 22 10:09 Hmm i barely could stay awake for the whole Simpsons fun, i fell asleep in evening and waked up 5 in morning. At least that is kind of normal hours compared to rest of world. So little created yesterday i will try and get more busy today. One thing few know is the happy world castle has four new huggable hugfriends living here. Wee! They actually had a purpose for coming here last autumn, but now they dont and they dont even have proper names. That is one thing we must change, they all need good names. So help me with that i will try myself too but thought it is quite possible someone else has better ideas. Original names are the best, but can be just about anything that fits a soft little hugfriend. July 21 15:23 Uh oh... i saw this advertised about in tv recently, and now just noticed in tv schedule too. There is this 6 hour Simpsons marathon on one channel from now until 21 in the evening... sorry, but that is going to be more fun than computer corner. Simpsons and hugs mmm.... donut... Doh! We have no donuts. But we have time for laughs and hugs and being lazy a while, i get back to webthings later or tomorrow with more energy. Laughing some does help gather positive energy wich is the best for creativity. Hope everyone else find something fun today too, in tv or elsewhere. *hugs* July 21 11:23 I will hide a bit from live picture, i have a good reason but not worth mentioning why i just dont look my best so i dont want to be snooped on until i do. Along with comments for stories today maybe i can also update the photo pages to how they are ment to be after homepage move, that is like other webthings database generated. So a bit like wordpress blog instead of regular old html writing wich does take more time than is clever. Hope me and the little webmaster can figure something working out. I also need to find a place for articles, or whatever to call it. Pages about things better kept outside the diary and sometimes also open for discussionin, and pages about citizen votes. Well i guess just more permanent pages, me and Mr Bear will for instance analyze the Second Life economy since the creators are making such a hype about it... seriously, stay away from spending any big moneys there. *hugs* And yes i can explain why, you should not 'buy your own private island' for what is it, 1200 or 1500$ plus 200$ a month to keep owning it. Well that is what the sales talk says, but the reality is as virtual as the world itself. You do not own the 'island' the only thing owned is the creative rights to things created in the world. But. There is no way to withdraw creativity from inside the world, if Second Life goes bankrupt or some bug or hacking attack destroys what you spent hours, days, weeks, and perhaps a lot of real money creating. No they do not have to reimburse you. It is just a rather scary venture when looked and thought about from a different angle than the hype and their front page. Sad but true. And it is a business. Just like games, wich brings me to one tiny 'get even with annoyances from the past' quest. And that is Everquest 2 wich i was lost and played for over two years. Oh the time spent, and sure it was great fun in its own ways. But then they went ahead and did what those MMO games often do. They changed the rules. I never cared about most changes, part of the fun was adapting. But then they made a certain thoughtless change that totally broke my long term quest in the game. That really made me angry, and that is why i have gone on a small refund quest lately. It is actually a bit silly, but since i cant get my time back i will get some dollars at least. You see there is a black market for game accounts, items, currency. That is usually frowned upon by most gamers, very much including me. You dont buy more monopoly moneys if you cant buy the most pricey plots? No, nobody does it is not part of the game rules. But in MMO games that is done lots, players with more money than time buy leveling services, buy game money to not have to gather their own and such. The providers of those things are typically working in cheap labour nations like China. Anyway i went on a small crusade against those 'gold farmers' on my game server a few times, and one time more seriously. I did what is easy, sold some game money, identified the broker who paid me dollars for the gold, told Sony Online i identified one black market account, went to publish it on their forums too although rules made me not publish the account name there. I also mentioned a very simple solution to stop a lot of what is going on, because there Really Is one. Nobody listened. And what is weird is, a few months later after i got tired of the game rule change that stopped my long quest in its tracks, i went to sell tons more gold just because i did not care anymore. The account and character name i had identified earlier, was the same i met with months later. It had not dissapeared! So there you go, dont think that SOE or Blizzard really care more about stomping on black market operations that help lazy gamers bend the rules. They do care more about the dollars. Its business to them. And so i am out, but this will go on its own 'article' page for safe keeping into future. The last thing i will do, is cheat the game by automating gaming (crafting actually) on one server, while harvesting when i feel like it on another. One more month, then i sell hundreds of plat, and also sell the second account. That is no fortune but a valid guess is 200$ or more and so why not... i can make business out of an MMO game too if i put my mind to it. So there SOE, you screw your gamers you get what you deserve. And that is me adding some fuel to the black market fire. Hmm now i babbled a lot in the Diary. I also have the little energy usage test adventure to write its own page for too. Quick tip is, always turn off TV at the tv not by remote, and LCD monitors, computers, anything that runs on less than wall socket voltage with a converter thingy, shut off before power gets to the thngy. They eat power doing absolutely nothing. Stupid. What i mean is like this... my two monitors off: 14-16 watts, both monitors on: 66 watts. Computers outside room including network thingy and such. Off: 28 watts. Newer computer off with switch at the power supply, 14 watts. Older computer has no such switch at the power supply. Add it up, that is for computer things doing absolutely nothing but gathering dust being 'off' lets say 42 watts... so that is one 40 watt light bulb left on 24 hours a day. And that is just wasted power. In a year that ends up 368kWh so go find out what one kWh costs where you live, and then find those little power-munching power adapters. I know, it isnt heaps of money but it is wasted and i often heard that if everyone didnt knowingly or unknowingly waste power this way (mostly by leaving TV on/off by remote only) a loooot of power consumption nationwide is saved. Wich is good for our planet. And so i will think about that in future, i do care about our planet we only have one. July 20 16:38 Old idea i never added but should be there, so next i make comment pages for stories too. Not just for writers to maybe find out what readers think, but could also perhaps be mentioning how a reader would have wanted a story to turn or whatever and might that way inspire new writing from previous. Well anyway those will also be divided in citizen and general comments. I also once did a shared story, i wrote a part, someone write a bit more, then i wrote more. Those stories i am sure could end up interesting, even if writing style changes each part. I found a website doing that once, except it had a start, optional continuation where someone could write, and then the story branched out into many stories. Quite a fun idea actually maybe that would be something worth trying around here. July 20 16:08 Oh no, i think someone who was here a long time changed email address. So if Mike R from UK reads here again, i guess i was too slow getting a reply sent. I think that is one of the things i need to get better at. I will make email writing a priority for Citizens, because citizenships are not about getting just more webthings, but more of my time. It is actually not fun needing to ahve things that way, but i remember how things went with the old ICQ i once had to chat... over time, it got way up to hundreds of people listed. Possibly over 1000 i dont remember. And each time i logged on, i got first a few hellos or so. I wrote back, but obviously then i got more and more and more messages it got impossible to chat about anything serious. Who was discussing this or that, do i ignore the 30 flashing messages below these 5 i am having a chat with. It just did not work. It would end up similar with email if i answer everyone. It takes time to write, and then i get answers probably. So i have to write again. Not to mention the risk of ones email address ending up on a spam list. That can happen in mysterious ways for sure, our little webmaster will share tips to avoid that. *hugs* Anyway dont stop sending messages. I will try to read and answer to both citizens and tourists in decent time. But especially for tourists it has to be about something serious to motivate an answer. July 20 14:59 Sometimes tiny changes should be taken care of too. Like finally bothering to update the little Born To Rule graphics with the crown, to actually have the real happy world crown on it. Not sure i keep it this exact way it did look nice with some colour. Still the older crown was one i found once and thought to buy, but never did. I found another nice and reagl enough later instead. I have also once found some few coloured crowns, i think those are a bit rarer most only have white stones. Anyway i also have other jewelry to show later, Lady Bear thinks i should have even more but think we save sparkly shopping for winter. Maybe something new for next new year evening. Other than that little update i ponder on other webthings too ofcourse, slowly but surely. *hugs* July 19 20:51 Only thing not as it should with live picture, is it being done by computer brainy one for now. Brainy two should do that since it uses less energy and makes less noise. Computer noises dont get into my room, very little anyway, but the last little energy use measuring experiment showed the slightly older computer uses less power. So better leave that one on most hours of days than the newer. Probably early bedtime today, i got so sleepy a bit earlier after eating i almost thought i could not stay awake. But a big cup of tea saved me, i watched tv Hells Kitchen that mean chef isnt as nice as the naked chef i think. But they both probably make yummy yummy eatables. And this revived live picture is the newer camera i bought sometime to replace the older but barely even used yet. It is lots better, but i dont like the view angle on it much. Still that one will be better to record little video pieces with later, better colours and so than the really old camera. But unless old computer whines about it, there will be two live pictures sometimes. Anyway now that i am in sleepyclothes may as well allow myself to get sleepy again. Hope someone comes by and shares a goodnight hug with me and hugbears. Oh and those of you who have been around here a long time, you will notice not much is changed in our little castle. Why? Answer is simple. We like it here, not much change is needed to keep the happy world castle happy. I am thinking of moving though, but that is a whole other thing for future... now off to cozy bed for nice *hugs* and maybe something funny in the tv. July 19 14:49 Just thought i could add that there are some ideas about coins that are not just about Mr Bear gathering them. Besides paying for webthings, there is possibly sharing coins with good story writers. And another idea i had a while is every day nothing has been decided, someone has to pick clothes for the Princess to wear. Now that would be my maids or servants jobs ofcourse, i have no time to bother my mind much about choosing todays gown do i? So that would be picked before morning by citizens who choose to be servants or maids in the castle. Small coins every time for the help. I had several such little ideas for the virtual second life world, but being dissapointed with the company behind it lately all of that is on hold. But webpages pictures and perhaps especially a live picture can be used for interesting things too probably. Ofcourse maids dont really come here and do things, but that is what a page here says. Use your imagination. And so if someone who wants to be of service to their Princess logs in some day, or every day, or every awake hour and notices a button saying laundry needs to be taken care of. Take care of it, and some coins fly from the treasury to citizen. While not dollars in their own, happy world coinage are easy to use for taxes and so someone really using imagination, helping with things, being creative or things that is how some taxes should ba moving back to my people too. *hugs* But i guess time will tell how everything turns out. I did figure out a good first or early citizen decision to vote about. Wich IM or chat client program thingy should be used. I once had ICQ, i barely even used Messenger, now i think there are maybe others too. But it is best if everyone who wants to chat with me knows wich program happy world uses. Back to thinking before doing things, just not too much thinking or little gets done... July 19 13:47 Not sure where to resume webthings. So after a walk to food shop, i begin with some thinking and candies. And hugs with Mr Bear, that often helps decide this or that. Just now i happened to think about the idea to have gold, silver, and copper coins for happy world moneys. Well they have to be dollars or swedish kronor or pounds or L$ from that second life or so first. But when taxes are paid, donations made, gifts given or anything making Mr Bear count them, they turn into happy world coins. And totally opposite to the virtual L$ that is so touted on their front page, wich they claim have no real value (meaning the support rarely care if people loose L$ even if they are indeed paid for with dollars first, wich, sucks) our moneys will be like old times. Our moneys will be tied to gold value. And i just realised, it would be best to make that also gold value in swedish money, to make it easier for Mr Bear he might otherwise need an extra computer brainy just to calculate currency calculations back and forth, adjusting taxes and whatnot. Anyway it is worth a thought, and one nice thing i could see then is enough coins gathered would mean we could buy a gold bar. Mr Bear would be so smiley if the treasury has real gold in it. Not so much to pile riches in a heap, can be small gold bars or bigger, it is the nice vision i had a long time in my mind about that making it something i ponder about. Actually the biggest gold bars i think are almost too heavy to carry around, while smallest, or actual gold coins, are not so pricey to gather. But the point is unlike L$ for instance, or monopoly moneys our coins could be turned into gold, or from gold back to happy world coins. And while gold value like many other things (except a potato in front of a hungry person! ) change value, it would be changing along with the most long lasting valuable and traded thing we have probably. And that is gold. Or silver, or whatever. But Mr Bear might need three new computers if we would try to make gold coins have gold value, silver coins silver value... too much thinking. One gold coin should have a value of lets say 1 gram of pure gold. Wich maybe is a tiny coin i dont know. But anyway then a silver coin would be a hundredth of that, and a copper coin a hundredth of a silver coin. Simple. It could later depending on ideas made reality for me and citizens be used between everyone. And coppers should at any rate be small enough compared to dollars or whatever to be good for real small payments. One reason i do think about this already is Mr Bear's webthings and his office needs things like that decided before they can be much worked on. Hmm but today i should begin with the live picture so it actually shows live pictures, i dont know when i start it but i do promise it will be before i go to bed. *hugs* July 18 18:35 Thank you Jeff for the email, and others too. I will read latest emails again tomorrow and write answers. Also actually look for older email i think i thought to write something back to but forgot. The latest secret quest i focused on went from ok, to downhill, but then back up to ok. So i will just end it for now at the ok point wich is nicer than anything below. So tomorrow i move focus back to ruling the Happy World, although i will not do that so focusedly i get headaches... if there is such a need i expect someone to help out so i can relax and avoid headaches. I just hope during rest of this year webthings can become at least something close to what i would want. If me and the little webmaster put our clever brains together maybe even some tricksy obstacles can be bounced right over. Wich brings up a topic for webthings i have not shared much about yet but i will write about that later when some things about it are actually online too. *hugs* Even if citizenships and citizen votes, opinions and such are not yet here i did notice wich of the previous photos got most attention. Adding that up a popular photo would be your elf princess in a wedding dress. Who knows, what the future brings. *hugs* July 18 11:49 I think the idea fails, but one last day to focus before i give it up. Either way i will resume webthings tomorrow, and wake up the live picture too for those that missed it. *hugs* Now lunch so i get some vitamins for rest of day. July 17 02:45 Oh no, all this focusing has given me a headache worse than i had for a long time. Best plop into cozy bed quickly and maybe Mr Bear can help, he is a good doctor for heads that need some care. Well his soft paws are actually what helps, this headache i got now i recognise as a tension headache or what it would be called in english. So Mr Bear paws hugging my head, along with trying my best to relax and keep thinking the headache will go away soon often helps. And being late now maybe i fall asleep quickly too. Hope i dont get this tomorrow again, headache makes it really difficult for me to focus on just about anything. I just want to rest and make it go away.July 15 21:32 One thing this last deviation from homepage and webthings resulted in, is that i was up most of last night since it was my day. But i was also up all of today with my clever brain focusing on one particular topic. So i set wake up beepibeeps to morning and best get to bed real soon so i at least get a long night sleep now. This is one thing about me i knew about a long time, i can get near miracles done and spend all awake hours on doing just that. But i have to want to do it, it has to be one thing not several. It is similar for me about learning, if i want to learn about something i sure will. So for me school with many topics was not the best idea, but few get to pick exactly what they want to study. And probably just as good since it isnt easy to know what is useful, or even what ones interests are until one slowly finds out by living. Anyway i might be a little away some days, a guess is monday to wednesday i put my brain on important things. If i am happy with results on wednesday i give the little webcamera a hug and wake it up on thursday. Maybe already on wednesday if i quickly see that my focus give the results i aim for. If i cant see positive results i may be a bit grumpy and not know what to do and maybe we hide more days. But i do not have in my plan to fail, and since i wont fail  me and all the hugfriends will soon be happier and feeling more positive. July 15 16:11 While many things lately are a bit gloomy actually, testing my determination might have proven a good idea. I now moved it from a game to something else, sort of. I will mention it next week if it works out ok, but until then i will be just that... stuck trying my very best to do something that has to be tried. I am really sorry if some think the live picture should be alive, it is just that i dont feel like being snooped on when i have worries surrounding the happy world castle. This test of resolve i do lately is in fact to get rid of the worries, as much as possible for now anyway. And i hope everyone is having a nice summer and nice weekend ofcourse. *hugs* My weekend has not exactly been lazy or anything, but it is required efforts and actually quite interesting. So dont worry, i think we will be fine here. July 14 09:14 Still stuck with random sleeping times, i tried again to be up extra long. But i think that would take one or a few very interesting things to work. But i did at the same time test my determination with a little mission. It is now done, after about 20-25 hours of mindless kind of boring little 5 minute tasks in a game world... i achieved the goal i once did over days and weeks in two days. It had no real important purpose, if i explained it i would appear silly. But the point is i got myself together to do that, as efficiently and fast as i could. And why? Because i had to see if i even still have that kind of focus in me. And since i apparently do, i now have to focus it elsewhere. Well first i will need some relaxing, and i have no idea about when bedtime will be next. But failing to resume 'normal' sleeping hours i will resume my old normal way instead. I go to sleep when i get tired enough, sooner or later the clock numbers will align with my bedtime anyway. I just realized now after this tedious thing, wasting focus on either trying to stay up longer than brain tells me, or being extra lazy half a day or something just to wake up before lunch is a bit pointless. Anyway now i have no idea, mind needs a bit of rest before i do or decide anything serious. July 12 09:53 Some things disturbed my sleep, how annoying. Just when i was about to get hours to normal, very sleepy late in the night plan was sleep 4 to 9 or 10 in morning. Well i am up since a while, but i just hope the disturbed sleep still allows me be awake until midnight or so. One thing bothers me lately, now that i finally did get the live picture moved. The Java option does not work, when updating to the newest Firefox web broswer it mentioned current Java would not be compatible. And webpages says some .01 to .02 update will fix that, but i tried downloading some newest version and it still just crashes. It crashes real bad too, the browser locks up, and keeps running insane in background until manually stopped. Oh well... i hope they fix that. At least the old way works, i just want to sort out the last eaten part so it can work with yummy food pages and such through future. July 11 23:13 No live picture today, i fell asleep, but somehow waked up again 18 in evening. That would be like waking up 2 in the night if you go to bed at 22, wich usually anyone would prefer to quickly resume sleep. But i managed to crawl out of bed. I almost decided to sleep after tv news, but then i bounced up, had two big cups of tea to help wake up brain. And so now i will be up to 2-3 in night and then go to bed. And get up in the morning. As it should be. So live camera comes tomorrow i dont want first images after such a long time away be when i am tired like a zombie. It probably would not be seen, but i know, and so it is better if i am all awake and smiley. Wich i hope to be tomorrow after me and hugbears share goodmorning hugs in the morning. Dont be surprised if i sit in computer corner lots and lots, i have many things to try and take care of. But then at least you can see if i am doing something or not. July 11 10:25 I just could not be sleepy all night, so morning ended up at mignight... but then it doesnt hurt to try being up until evening. To help that i just walked to food shop in the gloomy grey summer weather. Some things for lunch and such, and popcorns for evening. We like popcorns here, Ture likes them the most but i think me and Mr Bear are also popcorn-monsters some days. Mr Bear also likes salty peanuts but i find those some other time. I realised i do miss the tv watching a little so will plug it back. Its not so much tv news are positive, mostly they are not. But we want to see them anyway. More than that we like to see funny tv, and Discovery channel things, and cooking tv. Cooking is a big thing for many people i think, cooking books sell heaps and heaps here. And cooking tv programs a lot of people do snoop at. Maybe we like to see yummy food get made but too lazy mostly to bother ourselves? I dont know. I really love yummy food, both simple cheap yummy food and some really pricey. But i seldom cook complicated things myself, i really will make that a new hobby. It goes along well with my thinking about reasonable luxuries, extra yummy food regularly is one of those. Have extra money? Buy something nice to eat. It is reasonable because every one of us have to eat anyway, and so spending extra on food is not a waste. Well it can be like throwing money at a company when visiting some restaurants, but then it is also partly paying for perfect service, the athmosphere inside, or just that 'above' a certain level of exclusivity one can easily say i want that, and not that, and you have no strawberry dessert but i really want one ask if anything can be done. And they will try. But enough about that, some of the yummiest things i like are cheap. I think there will be a lot of eatable things mentioned and pictures here in future. It is one of my bigger interests, and cooking is not boring one just have to be a little brave, careful, and try. Like many things there is always a first time. Maids i think went on summer vacation around here, so me and Lady Bear will see that cozy sofa is neat and so for later. We cant have a snooping camera and there are things laying around randomly, wich happen sometimes. At least not for a start. But welcome later, unless i do end up falling asleep before evening there will be popcorns and watching tv. And hugs ofcourse! *hugs* July 10 11:24 So when will the live picture actually be alive again? Tomorrow. After doing some more webthings in the night, i ended up playing a computer game instead to relax my brain... the thought was to keep doing that all day, and try to be up until evening. Sometimes i just dont know why i end up wanting more normal sleeping and day hours, it does not really matter much. But somehow i do, maybe it is just the knowing that goodmorning hugs should be before lunch, and goodnight hugs should not be around when lots of people travel to their daily jobs. So anyway i know that my usual first tries correcting sleepy hours are, staying up until the evening. But that mostly does not work well, i give up and go to bed in the day. That just makes for even stranger hours, bedtime moves forward a little every other day and now here is 11 in day and it is my evening. Some days ago, evening was more like 6-7 in morning. So i try the opposite now, hibernation until tomorrow morning. I know i cant sleep 18 or so hours in a row ofcourse, but i will get to bed. When i wake up in evening, i will stay in cozy bed with hugfriends and watch tv doing my best to not wake up much. And then we do just that, try our bestest to be lazy and half sleepy all through the night until the normal morning. One good reason to try that instead of tiering myself, is to maybe also rest my brain so it finds energy to continue with webthings a lot more. Weather is a bit grey and boring lately so it is perfect for webthings even if middle of summer. One thing with strange hours in the castle, it is not bad for those of you from across oceans to see anything but sleeping happening. But knowing i will end up with strange hours sooner or later again i do want them normal for a while now. Guess i dive into the bed for first half of an extra long night of sorts. July 09 23:56 [link] There are pictures, just dont be surprised if some photo changes page number or such things during this week. There is still things to do with picture pages, mostly for citizens though. July 09 22:37 Moving in photo pages really soon, before midnight yes. I will actually also be busy sorting things from the past all night, so all photos might not be findable right now. And live camera i will only test to keep running but someday soon i test the 'streaming' version and hope that any Citizen who can not use it complains to the little webmaster. We may not be able to make that work for everyone, but it would be very good to know if it works well or not. On IE, Firefox, PC or Mac or whatever computer brainy others than me happen to use. *hugs* July 08 21:28 Mr Bear knows we ended up with strange sleeping hours lately, making a new day begin now in the evening. So to help me keep my promise having photos and live picture left to bring back in homepage he decided this monday is a hug holiday. Mmmm those days are so nice, and nobody has to go to their work! So tell your boss tomorrow is a holiday for sharing hugs with those you like to hug, smile and be happy and lazy all day if you want. Well maybe dont tell boss at work that... but it does mean in Happy World we get a longer weekend. Wich means i have another day (wich happens to be mostly night hours) to complete what i am working on. Me and Mr Bear actually decided that before i went to sleep, knowing if this weekend is over in just 3 hours after i wake up or around that keeping the promise will be very difficult. Either that, or i had no time to sleep. And a Princess needs her beauty sleep, so we thought up a positive solution. Hope nobody is too annoyed... *hugs* July 07 09:38 Somehow my hours went back to the strange again, so now is bedtime. I think it could be that after i was up extra long, i got extra tired and fell asleep some hours in what should be day. And maybe todays few but big cups of tea made me not get sleepy when i should be. I got almost nothing useful done this whole night though, wich is day once again but i will try again to get normal hours. Hugfriends too like better to have morning hugs and evening hugs be around when they are normal. And webthings will still get done in weekend, at least the things i promised and maybe that helps homepage be less dusty. July 06 11:17 Well moving the photos is maybe half left or something, they are not many but i have to find the old pages, divide them to two or maybe even three page versions then add to new place. So it takes time. I also have to decide wich photos go where wich is not all that easy. They are all creative art in a way, but different categories of art. It should be sorted by evening anyhow what i cant decide on will be left for later pondering. July 06 07:37 Okidoki so no being slow or lazy today, a big cup of tea and a yummy sandwich, some bouncy music from DI.fm and more webthings should get done. Best listen while i do things so i dont waste electricity on computer brainy being only a radio. Seriously new computers use like 100 watts or more just doing nothing. The stereo used under 20 watts when using speakers, so obviously using a computer for radio is not the best idea so far. Makes me wonder about those so called entertainment systems for living room. I will make a valid guess without knowing, that watching a dvd with a dvd player uses less energy too compared to watching from a computer. Just a guess, i might test in future. July 06 00:18 I got sleepy and lazy so going to bed. That was also why i stayed up past the morning-bedtime of late, to get a bit more normal hours. July 05 20:33 So far today (ignoring what i did get done in the 'night' hours) i did almost no computer things. Uh oh! But do not worry, when i make a promise i keep it. Only a negative anti-miracle can keep me from that, but then i am also a little careful before i make a promise. That is actually something everyone should be, think before using words that at least in my opinion have a very strong meaning. Promise. Love. Hate. But i did do something ofcourse, not just fall asleep a few hours in the afternoon since i was up all night and my usual evening lately has been in the mornings. Before that i walked to city, weather is great and sunny so i thought why not. But i should have remembered to bring some small moneys for an icecream or a cold drink on the way because it got really warm. I did bother to walk past one of those money-machines so for rest of summer i will try and keep some cooling funds with me. I did go get a power-measuring thingy, from a big shop i dont know what to call it. A shop with heaps of different useful this and thats for homes, hobbies, work well it has lots of things. First visit there i was really lost, then looking for a power-adapter to use with my dying digital camera. So at least i knew around where little electrical things were hiding. And i found lots of low-energy lamps nearby too, having no big idea wich to pick except a little i read on Internet i got one 12w lamp for ceiling lamp. It does what it says, shines like a 60w lamp, and i used to have two 40w (or 1 lately, two was pointless). So i get more light, and less power use. I have tested this and that with the measuring thingy and it was quite interesting. It will be the first article kind of page, some things i dont think should just dissapear down in old diary notes. And since i have no 'blog' really, at least no wordpress, i just make some things get their own pages. I can say this already, using a new computer with a good (power-hungry) graphics card for listening to Internet radio... uh oh, bad habit! I will not do that any more. Ok to listen while i do things, but just turning on computer brainy to listen is a disaster for anyone wanting to be energy-consumption-aware or whatever word might be proper. I also found some strange numbers from our cooling fan, i brought it up from storage today Mr Bear and Lady Bear get even warmer than me in middle of summer we do need it. So well, a little page comes later. And probably something else than this little snooping into energy usage too. One thing though, now that i tested power use for things that matter that thingy will be gathering dust maybe forever... they should rent those out for a day or two instead. Why buy one? Well i did, but still. They are kind of a use once or twice but then one knows the numbers. July 05 05:55 Wee!   i missed the smiles but now we are back! Well i would still have to dive into this if i bother to share diary also on the old live journal or those new blog sites. Not sure if i bother but now i can write again and smileys get translated to their pictures, and all that is left is to try and move in the use of pictures and getting them added to own pages. Think i have a little hug break first anyway. It may be summer and not much darkness through night but i was at computer quite a while to get this part done.July 05 05:51 wonder if everything in the diary works now after the move... i sure hope so. July 5 and 3:20 in the summer night the old diary is moved, so if you are bored, waiting for the photos or whatever there is a lot of blobbering to read. I even found the old archived diary from before a certain time in history, it is back again because i intend to deal with ghosts and thorns from my past. That is one thing everyone best be aware of, hurting the Happy World Princess (or a citizen!) will hurt right back. If not from me personally, then the army of brave knights in shiny armor will take care of things. July 4: Have a happy July 4 those in USA since it is a special holiday there. Other than that, i am really busy today. To those thinking i write to much and too little happens with webthings, well that is what i am getting busy with. Right in the middle of the nice swedish summer, and i do it for you. So here it goes, everything i want done will not be back come this weekend. Some things i promise (big difference compared to trying, a Princess keeps her promises unlike politicians) will return to the minimum what it once was before homepage started gathering dust or this really too slow move. Old photo pages without commenting, old photo pages with comments, one live webcamera but maybe two. And i will find some new/old photo not shared yet too. One thing though, live cameras are actually from time to time a real strain on my life in the little castle. Because i have to be aware of when it/they are snooping, there is no way around that. And so only Citizens will get to snoop live at all times they are on, aswell as the better sort-of streaming wich i did find out how to make work on all browsers, i think. Homepage will get 10 second refresh pictures and that one might be turned off sometimes. But here is one thing i dont want to do, i dont want to hide the happy world behind costs. In fact the reasons for having Mr Bear collect taxes are two. One, it will keep disrespectful or unimaginative people at a distance, so we who really like it here get to live without annoyances. And two, i always liked the idea that Mr Bear wisely takes care of our economy, counting the coins in the smiley treasury and deciding where they go. Citizenships might not be all done by weekend though, that is complicated and having lost faith in Second Life i sort of want happy world to have its own currency. L$ are all about business, just have to look at their front page to see their plan. I might write about what i once thought and what i do now about that whole world later. My view has changed a bit. But long ago i wanted to have a competition where citizens get to design a happy world note/bill, the coins will be gold and silver, and no matter how we solve the whole thing they are intended to return to that age old idea: A gold coin is worth the amount of gold in it. Would be so much fun if we could actually create happy world coins made of gold and silver, mainly so that citizens might be able to earn and keep one or some at home. Coin design is not done but they would include a smiley for sure. Bank notes will require either me, Mr Bear, or Lady Bear on them. But that is for later and there is yet another old idea i would want to make reality since long but never did... but see you in weekend. *hugs* I even had the tv stoved away in storage today, no more wasting time on that over summer! I will actually sell it cheap to someone in need (along with an old retired lump of a computer monitor) and get a new myself for later, or perhaps some caring citizen gives us one because after summer me and Mr Bear will want to snoop on tv again. Tomorrow, i am going to get a power-usage-meter thingy, to see wich computer uses most power. That is something i care about, and the least power hungry brainy will obviously be the one left on many hours for live cameras. July 2: See there it happened again, i was wanting to resume webthings but other things get in the way. But i do expect to have the old diary moved in here before bedtime, i think better to have old things that worked and were of use, than try to create all new things that take a long time and never get finished. Because in a way for a person like me who has a lot of new and original ideas, there is no end to what i might want to add or update. But anyway first me and hugfriends need a dinner, then some hugs, then i can sit at computer. 20 Newest Diary Notes 2010 - January February March 2009 - January February March April May June 2008 - January February March April May June July August September October November December 2007 - January February March April May June July August September October November December 2006 - January February March April May June July August September October November December 2005 - January February March April May June July August September October November December 2004 - January February March April May June July August September October November December 2003 - January February March April May June July August September October November December 2002 - January February March April May June July August September October November December 2001 - gathering dust...
