Princess Tessy - The Princess Diary - August 2007

August 31 20:51
I have strange pland for a friday, there are mainly about trying to get sleepy after midnight and getting up tomorrow morning. Earlier i thought to get a lot done before weekend, but it has just not gone that way. Still tomorrow is a new month, and it will be a month of webthings getting updated or worked on daily.

I also plan to revive the old live camera snooping almost all hours in our little castle. There may not be much happening most of the time, but there will be a lot of hugs and cozy moments those who want can visit and share with us. *hugs*

I am thinking also it may be a good weekend for a yummy celebration cake, i wonder if anyone remember seeing our delicious first summery strawberry cake or the old new-home cake wich still looks so yummy.

Or the valentines mini-cakes we had once but those were not made in happy world kitchen just carried home from a shop. I think they were cute, next Valentine i will personally bake yummy little cakes for every happy world citizen. But then again i plan to bake and cook many things for both me and hugfriends and hungry citizens. I almost end up writing about an idea i have, but i will try in future to mention more of what is being worked on or completed than all my many ideas. Ideas will go to citizen opinions pages for opinions or just the plans for future. Yes that is sort of what those pages are ment to be for. It will not take forever, i wrote somewhere 2007 will be the best happy world year ever. And so i will do my best to try and make it that way before we all walk into a happy new year in a few months. *hugs*

Now friday science fiction tv evening, sort of, or whatever interesting there is. We are out of popcorns, but we have warm hugs and will make a late dinner instead of candies or such. Food can be candy too in a way, or yummy fruits.

August 30 16:26
I was thinking yesterday, nothing unusual about that since i spend a lot of time thinking.

A lot of thinking might look like wasting time to some who hurry through life, but i stumbled on a thought that made sense after a while. The happy world can be wherever your or I let it exist, in the mind, in a room, in a whole house, or even a piece of a real world country if story ever went that direction.

Anyway, i live in the happy world most of my time to get away from the real world. And so that is my escape, but i always seek ways to make my happy world better. And so for a long time i escaped to the computer game, and then the Second Life world. Well i realised while thinking about my escape from around here to game or virtual world that when i do that i move my happy world away from here. And when i do that, all those of you who like to visit my happy world to find yours basicly will have a difficult time even if you search a lot. That is not how it should be. *hugs*

So reading just now about Linden Lab making pointless decisions about identity verification and other things recent that are just plain not well thought out (they should seriously hire me to do some thinking for them.

) i will not bother existing in there. Well i will keep my avatar, but very few from all you tourists visiting my webpages ever entered Second Life. So i will stop wasting time in there, not even to complete the Linden Dollar quest it is kind of pointless. And besides Mr Bear likes real coins more than virtual. I will move my happy world back to the castle, so that those of you wanting to find it can do so easier. Either to help you escape in mind to my happy world wich you can be part of, or to help you create a happy world around precisely where you live.

See we can still be who we want here, there is really no need for 3d avatars even if that does help visualize some things. Instead of the 3d world that is in fact built entirely by its residents, but nowadays much abused by the company owning it, i will just move back my computerized escaping to games. Yes even Everquest 2 possibly but only if more than a few happy world citizens want to escape there regularly with me or each other.

And while playing chess inside a 3d world is one way to be able to play with each other, i am sure there are other ways. There is usually another way, and walking through life slowly helps find them. People who rush through life never taking time to stop, will miss a lot of little things at the road side, some of those little things can be very important. Or it can just be a pretty little flower that will make one smile. Dont run unless you really have no other choice. *hugs*

So i shall be reducing the escaping from my corner of the happy world to other computer created corners. I know many would be happy enough in the little castle where me and some hugfriends live, and so i shouldnt be escaping onwards too much making it appear like the castle is empty. Because it seldom is, and we do want guests. *hugs*

August 29 22:02
I am just too tired to do anything useful this evening, at least i feel that way now, so i go hug Mr Bear and Lady Bear in out bed. Maybe creative mind wakes up after a while and body does the same, sometimes that happens when resting and sharing hugs. I think it is being hugged and having friendly happy hugfriend noses close that helps me wake up.

And if we all fall asleep well then i guess i really am tired and need to sleep early. But there will be webthings getting updated real soon around here if not today then tomorrow. *hugs*

August 29 00:40
I tried the computer studies quest a little more and managed to make tiny progress in two days. Wich is something, but since the things i wanted accomplished through learning were found to be just very very complicated i abandon that for now. If i study computer things maybe it should really be me and the little webmaster trying to figure out how to create my many ideas for webthings.

Mmm that too sounds like a big quest but since it is at least started, and i can choose how complicated things we even try to do, or at least wich order, it sounds like a better plan.

Besides computer geeky things i think i study new movies, or study yummy food and wines or study luxury hotels quality or study resorts or whatever more suitable for a Princess. Or just hug my hugfriends a lot and stay in our cozy warm friendly happy home.

Hope everyone has nice days and remember if you wait for something good, or something great, you cant wait too long. *hugs*

August 26 20:48
I ended up having a nice evening in Second Life instead of webthings or computer studies or so. Today so far not all that much happened, but i did see some positive news in the tv news for once.

Ture will have to start snaking around and find more soon, there is just so much negative news. The good news is, apparently swedish elderly homes where old people retire, usually forbid pets, most forbid alcohol, and probably forbid other things that might add to caring staffs required efforts. But one new decided to allow pets and also welcome old persons who have no pets but want to live close to animals anyway. They even help those who maybe cant take dogs or so out for a walk with it. Now that is good news, at least for all old persons living there. I can see it being a burden for staff to have to more or less help care for elders pets too not just the elders, but i hope more homes think in those directions. I honestly think many old people who end up needing to move to a retirement home for some care, will happily pay extra to not have to leave their loved pet behind. At least if they can at all afford it. So that was positive news, as long as it is looked at in the tiny part of my country where that elderly home is.

And now me and Mr Bear hide under a cozy cloak, we are going to watch a tv series, Moll Flanders. Not new or anything but it is kind of an old-times adventure and so i like it. Coming is part 3, but part two sure had a weird and almost impossible coincidence happen. Raised without parents, end up meeting someone, end up marrying that someone, follow him across the ocean to America, go to their home where old mother is too. And after a few years, find out she married her own brother.

Creepy obviously, and they separated, but what are the odds for that to happen anyway. Near impossible i would say. Oh well now we see what happens next.

August 25 16:53
I just found a new location worthy of my presence in Second Life, it is a castle with a ballroom and comfy seats. I have not yet visited the temple, art gallery or other corners. But there is a newly created chess game there, so if a soon to be citizen wants to exercise their brain with me send an IM to Tessy Luna.

Ofcourse also can come to get a hug, or just talk. But i will not be in the virtual world all that much since i have webthings to do first. But just a reminder, if you are new in SL buy no items for a start, do not get a premium subscription, buy no land. Let me handle those things, there are decent free clothes and things. I found some ok dresses yesterday for a first outfit and even a free tuxedo for you men so you can dress well around me. *hugs*

The only thing to buy would be L$ if you want to hurry up and pay taxes before webthings are done, information about that is in my profile (Tessy Luna).

Incidentally the courtyard also has good camping spots for poor people, but sssssh dont tell anyone. Selene Castle. I think chess could be a good game to test both mine and citizens cleverness. I make no claim to be good playing chess, but i should know all the rules and i know for sure it takes a clever mind to be good at that game. Be sure if happy world gets land in there again, there will be a chess game in the garden and in my castle.

August 25 02:49
As for the 'money is no issue' kind of men, you will be able to prove that by pampering me later. Feel free to put your money where your mouths are, just know that in my mind it is the thought that counts.

I appreciate a handpicked single pretty flower from wilderness just as much as a huge pricey boquet of flowers. So that makes no difference, but for those who want to try to impress me that way those options will be there later. Copper coins, silver, gold... that is the happy world currency. And for you that claim riches, if i see you buy a diamond from Mr Bear later and it is given to me, then i will believe a claim of fortune. Just know that the (virtual gems Mr Bear will sell are pricey items. Very humungouslysuperdupermega pricey! *giggles*

August 25 02:32
Nobody worry about the recent event, i am no weak princess. If i was a weak princess the happy world would be gone already, but it is here, i am here, all the hugfriends are here too. There are some older hugfriends who have been with me through past negativity they look a little tired of it, like i feel sometimes when worries sneak up on me. It can wear a person down slowly, even the strongest person eventually. But then it is great our little castle was found by four new hugfriends, all of them are jumping and cheering now to make us all smile again.

I will do my best to get citizenships and homepage done soon. Then me and Mr Bear will wait and see what citizens priority is. I will have my one vote on those 'buttons' too, no need for citizens to have same as me but some might want to agree for an easy way out. That is something not everyone realises, making decisions and important choices really is not always easy, it is not for everyone. Obviously a royalty has be good at that, while at the same time have good ears and listen to what her loyal subjects need or wish for. I will do my best, nobody can do more than their best that includes me. Rest assured i read some emails and photo comments lately. Some get filtered by celebrity filter directly to the trashcan

but here are some things i could mention. Slavery? Not in the happy world. But for those (should be everyone

) who want to worship me, i have a new title for humble citizens. Peasants. I do talk to lowly peasants too, i very much appreciate you for growing potatoes all of us in happy world need to not be hungry and such.

So anyone thinking in those lines, be submissive if you want but the happy world Princess keeps no slaves. That is just too negative sounding if anything. Slavery is in my mind not voluntary, and if it is voluntary, then it is my word to not be called that. Anyone who wants to behave in that kind of way though, welcome to possibly be granted some time near my radiant self.

As for the person mentioning real world meeting, and money being no issue. Well i heard that before... i really did. The happy world is what it is, and anyone ever wishing to know the real me, my real world, and possibly meet me will just have to prove worthy of it as happy world citizens first. And anyone ever bothering me repeatedly about meeting, well dont do it if i say no you can dream about it another month at least before asking again. That is not to be mean, it is just the way things have to be. *hugs*

To help soon to be citizens i will share my highest priority after completing more of moved homepage and citizenships... it is sewing, complete a new red gown.

And i guess i could hope someone agrees. It will be good for wearing many like red me too.

And also for Halloween.

And possibly a story i got an idea for myself, just if i try and write it i would have to decide if it is a naughty or nice version. Oh well... dont anyone think negativity can bring me down for long. Me and the smileys bounce back up every time.

If anything, as long as one can recover, getting over negativity can add strength and resolve to do things worth spending energy on. You just wait and see!

August 25 01:03
Mmm...

with all the hugfriends helping to make me forget negative things and smile instead, it doesnt take long to feel more positive again.

It is something worth learning for everyone. If something negative bothers you a lot, and you cant do much about it alone or with help, then ignore it, put it behind you move on and look forward. In my mind that becomes more important the more negative something is, if one wants to live as happy a life as possible. There is no changing the past, and no sure way to predict or affect the future either. So not much else to do but live one day followed by the next and make each the best possible.

August 24 20:41
I just met the real world outside, it made me sad, upset, angry, just completely ruined my happy world. Not because of the person i met, but it brought forward all the little negative things i try so hard to escape just to survive. I do mean that, and i know it sounds kind of scary. I thought once or twice to make webpages about the real world, my real life, because i know some care or can relate to it and find support in not being all alone. Alone like me, although i have Mr Bear and the hugfriends. I really should write nothing more today. I need as many hugs as all the little hugfriends can share with me right now, or i might not find the way back to positive thinking again. I will be careful to not drown any hugfriend in tears, they are all innocent and have to stay positive or even they will be no help. Why does there even have to be a real world, i wonder.
August 24 02:41
Me and hugbears figured out a little plan, we return to cozy bed and try our best to be lazy and half sleepy through night tv.

Then for once i set clock beeps to wake us up 9 in morning, and after that i guess i have to avoid the sleepymonster but there are many things i want done tomorrow so should be ok. I just dont want mornings to end up in evenings.

Mmm... more *hugs* to Mr Bear and *hugs* to Lady Bear and *hugs* for me and *hugs* for you too.

August 24 00:10
Well i need some breakfast before i start using my clever head, but me and Mr Bear agree after thinking about it that the L$ quest is a bit pointless. So we stop counting Mr Bear should have dollars or pounds or euros, or any other major currency in our treasury. Linden dollars... well that is just like collecting monopoly money in a way. And kind of not worth my time. I can say one thing about the camping spots though... they are being taken over agressively by camping bots. No surprise at all, if 'gold farmers' can work MMO games for a few dollars a day from low wage countries they sure wont mind working Second Life. Wich is what they do, and even if that was a slow way gathering play money for Mr Bear it was a nice view in the green park corner i had one of my avatars sitting around. And a nice fountain, well that is until gangs working the world for actual camping business took over. If there is 3 spots to sit on, best bet is a few minutes after any sim crash or world crash the armies are back online grabbing all free camping spots. And if guarantee it, waiting around to get to sit inside a virtual world for a few dollars a day isnt something i should waste even a little of my focus on. Well not anymore Mr Bear will get a few new shiny moneys for our treasury at least.

Mr Bear is happy i think about economics in a mostly sensible way, not just out shopping throwing away happy world taxes on everything i want. Not that Mr Bear disagrees a princess should have whatever she wants.

But i dont want everything i want, i think i mentioned that earlier sometimes, i want some things left to want because having nothing left to want would be boring. Now i want midnight breakfast and a *hug* from Mr Bear he thinks that is the best thing on my wanted-list.

August 23 23:17
Uh oh the sleepymonster sneaked in here again.

I think sleepymonster feels lonely and want to come hug us here in the castle, as long as he doesnt come every day it should be ok.

Sleep is not bad, and everyone needs hugs. I wonder how sleepymonster looks like though we never saw him, we just know he was here when we get too sleepy in middle of whenever our day hours are, and wake up hours later. Like just now. Is it 11 in morning or 23 in evening. Oh...

it must be 23 in morning.

Well so far i at least plopped back one program on computer two, one that i bought that is useful but apparently dont even have on a cdrom or so where saved. Luckily it worked to move things over and enter the longest registration key ever. It is printed on one paper along with some other similar little important things, and it is 10 parts long. I think most are half... it goes like 4ueh57-t6hy4h-t64eut and on and on... luckily passwords for webthings and such dont have to be that complex, would be impossible to remember.

August 23 02:32
Well this night i will bother myself putting windows back on computer brainy two, and snoop on whatever late night tv there is with Mr Bear.

I think from tomorrow at least those who want can snoop on me and hugfriends while we are busy in computer corner, or lazy in cozy sofa, or even lazier in the comfy bed corner.

August 22 22:12
Well i think i return focus to happy world and homepage webthings and all that.

There are things i should study a bit while i am creative with happy world also, just not brand new things but learning more. Wich makes it easier, not bumping into really big obstacles from day one hopefully.

Since i might end up being up all night again i will think about waking up live picture, even that need some creative attention. So many little things i want done and so slow creating, but i know i have my days when i get a lot done. And there is then also hope i might sometimes end up with a whole week of efficient creativity.

August 22 15:55
Oh just to not sound like i dont care about others valueable time only mine, my pondering was not first about email news being convenient for those who want it. *hugs* It was actually along with my pondering on why there is a link in homepage meny for Login, and some others, that should be under something else. I might need other menu links than one going to just one login page.

And then i should remove or move the email news form too. Earlier i thought to make that get nicer looking buttons too but as anyone can see they are still the old red and green.

On another note and a hint about studies i plan to do one way or another, Microsoft .NET Framework SDK uninstalled. Along with some other of their things. If i am going to study this area of computer things it may as well be uninhibited by Microsoft. Unless Bill Gates comes here, donates 10 million US dollars for the future of our happy world. Then i would consider studying using their software. But i doubt that would happen

besides i would hurry up and send any million except one onwards to charity. One million we could make good use of, more than that would be silly to keep. Mr Bear says we would have to get a bigger treasury and we like our smiley.

Actually our smiley treasury can hold at most 200$ or something if it is all coins. Earlier it was just that, full of coins. I put every coin i ever got from shopping in it.

It became one big heavy smiley treasury after about a year. Anyway better stop writing here and do either something fun or something useful, or both same time wich is the best... useful fun things.

August 22 15:01
Since i barely ever used it, today i waked up pondering why i have the email news list. I once thought to be using it regularly, find positive things on Internet to share link and such, write about this or that, but it kind of has not happaned much. Still the news list has almost 12000 recipients wich is many. I guess i should try and write something worth reading and send some news.

But the thing i ponder about is to actually maybe get rid of it. Why? Because the news is here, on my webpages. People should remember me well enough if they like what they see or read to remember my webpages. It is partly the same reason i have not look into adding RSS to my diary. Convenient? I guess so, although i havent used any RSS reader myself i have read how that all works by now. But same there, anyone wants to read my diary they just have to open my diary not an RSS reader, or wait months for email news i barely send. But it would be stupid to just delete all those email subscribers, so i will instead write something worth reading. Perhaps just have a vote about it later among citizens. I am actually thinking email news could well be something only for citizens, at least that makes everyone verified. That is also something i have to do next news i write, verify every recipient. I know a common practice is to verify every new email subscription with a link, to make sure nobody signs up someone else and things. My list never had that, and right now the program bought long ago also cant verify if recipients even exist anymore. So next news, anyone reading will have to click a verification link to remain, because anyone who doesnt will be assumed not wanting more news, or assumed the news ended up in an abandoned email box. I know changing email address happens a lot.

Anyway just one of many little things i should try and take care of. The studying project hit a brick wall. Ubuntu works, but getting even a start of the rest required for experiments and such just doesnt want to. So i am thinking maybe best i return all focus on webthings. I will try a little more today but if nothing helps i shouldnt waste time. I will add a little page about the topic soon, because in fact anyone else around here with knowledge or interest in same studies could help me or maybe i help them with what i figure out. *hugs*

August 21 18:32
Oh no i got sneaked up on by the sleepyness monster again. Ofcourse not the worst monster in the world, especially with hugfriends close for *hugs* hiding under a cozy cloak all afternoon.

But that was just it, all afternoon dissapeared sleeping. Maybe because i now go to bed in early morning, but for some reason waked up again after just 3 hours. And then the sleepy-monster noticed i was an easy victim for attacking seeing i would need more sleep. I guess that means bedtime will again be around morning hours. Oh well i will try get some useful and interesting things done anyway.

Just have to tell little open-eyes webmaster garfield to guard me from sleepymonster. He seems to be good for that, little webmaster garfield almost never sleeps only when he has no coffee he sleeps. *hihi*
August 21 09:51 [link]
I dont remember where i first stumbled on this link, but it is funny and why not have it for a phone ringtone?

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring... Bananaphone!

Ofcourse now that i remembered this one, it is added to the little random fun links the bouncy smiley is collecting.

August 20 19:50
After struggling some, following instructions that were not exactly 100% accurate, i still managed to get things going. Now apparently computer two has to think and think and think for 'a few hours' before i can see even a first result. But i hope it works faster after the first big job, nearby instructions that were probably not written to be a walkthrough for an unexperienced someone like me there was a time saying 20 minutes per test. But another time read was just that... a few hours. Oh well, i go have a nice warm bath, do something else maybe walk to food shop and find candies. Mmm.

And while computer two ponders on its apparently enormous task i can obviously later do something useful on brainy one.

August 20 15:00
So far so good with Ubuntu experimenting.

It works, was left running an experiment while i slept and did not crash but instead proved to not use up more and more memory over time like Windows XP did. Good there. I always thought Linux had better memory management or whatever that may be called technically.

So today onwards and see if i can do something useuful with something really geeky i want to study.

At least i want to study it until i give up, but here is the good part for citizens perhaps... live camera is returning, maybe not all hours but that will depend on citizens wishes. While i study things, i will be a good girl and wear my school uniform that many think is worth watching.

So those that might like their princess being a regularly knowledge hungry schoolgirl reading books or doing computer experiments keep your eyes open. *hugs*

I am going to make that simple actually. Citizens pay their taxes (this week sometime that will work) and then get to choose their favourite princess. That will be the rather important 'your princess' option that can be changed only once per month or around that. I will be doing what i want, but also ofcourse take note of citizen opinions and votes.

And until there is enough well established citizen opinions for a live camera snooping (or two even) snooping around the clock, then it wont be. Instead there will be a way to just toss a donation to Mr Bear and that way add some weight to that even if only you, one citizen out of any number, want to see the live picture for another 24 hours. Earlier i thought about similar things to convince me to change clothes to citizens liking or so, but that will have to wait since it would kind of take my time away from me. Not much time but anyway. There is that

thing som say, money talks. And for some decisions or hints as to what citizens want i will be listening. Not because i need money, but because of just that... moneys does talk, a little anyway. Just whispers, but i have good ears.

Now i only wonder why i could not last night get Ubuntu to use the 1280x1024 graphic of monitor. It appears stuck with 1024x768 wich is ok i guess, but not at all how it should be. I did manage to install Nvidia linux graphics drivers at least. So far so good, a cup of tea for afternoon breakfast and off i go to continue preparing studies.

Oh by the way... Ubuntu was an iso file, a big one ment to be recorded on a cd as far as i remembered. Was just that my little heap of cdrom is old, the iso file needed cdrom for bigger than 700Mb or whatever the number was. Mine are regular 74 minutes of music cdr, but luckily it worked just fine to plop a recordable dvd in there instead. Much more space on those and it worked putting a cd iso to a dvd.

August 19 23:19 [link]
I am going to go try this, the studying i want to start doing mentions some Linux versions tested and Ubuntu is one of them. Debian another but my long ago memory of it was a few days barely able to get the things i wanted computer doing be done. And the windows system then ran horribly slow on computer two, wich even if it has no new gaming graphics shouldnt happen. I suspect Ubuntu is going to be a lot easier to install. Desktop version looks good enough, but if the Server version i read about a little works like it claims it sure should be good for that too. 15 minutes to have a web server up and running? Wohoo!

Not that we need that here in the little castle but anyway.

August 19 22:47
To be able to dive into the long quest of studying something and doing something useful with what i learn, i might actually go ahead and install Linux on computer brainy two.

I know if i do that, most Windows programs will not run on that computer obviously. But then i have computer one for that as usual. Computer two doesnt do much anyway, but it was supposed to take care of webcamera. And it does other things too, but nothing computer one cant do instead. Besides i am curious if there is now nice windows menus and things for Linux and what free programs are available. Microsoft as everyone knows is far from free software, and even i am hesitating to buying some new Vista. Is newer better? Maybe, sometimes. But new also means new bugs, new security flaws, and in many cases although i dont understand why it also means higher demands on computer hardware. I have 1Gb memory in both computer brainys, and that should be enough. I dont plan to double memory along with buying some new Vista or some such, and find along the adventure aswell that many old useful trustworthy programs i used for a long time suddenly dont work. I remember those issues with Windows XP when i moved. But memory from then also has a non-crashing live camera, that happened a lot with old Windows 98. So i dont know. But it shouldnt be too huge of a thing if i end up wanting Windows on computer two again. I think it could even have both, but i have to snoop about that. Long ago i did read about it, possible to have two operating systems and pick wich to start when starting. That would obviously be the best.

So live picture may have to wait for tomorrow. I really do want to dive into what i got on my mind lately. *hihi*

August 19 18:09
Actually this ended up a bit of wasted research, snooping and testing. I have to get another free software. But to get that to work i need other things. Oh well... think i do something less complicated for a while.

August 19 14:32
This last decision should really be no worry, it will not make me less creative or the happy world more boring. In fact it will more likely make things more interesting, both nice and naughty, both serious, clever, helpful, silly, perhaps evil and mean too. But as far as main ingredients go, it is mostly about imagination, roleplay, cosplay, be it temporary or for a long time. It is one thing i realized actually, to be able to do one thing i want i need to be able to change my 'role' from day to day. And why not. Life is what you make of it, after all. *hugs*

Unless i get terribly caught up in this new software i downloaded (page about it later) then webpages will be plopping up. Either way be sure that if i spend time on learning and exploring the mysterious software, of wich i will reveal it demands a clever brain, that is not wasted time. Learning is never a bad thing, and this particular learning does have some purposes right along with the future of our happy world. *hugs*

Even if it is My happy world it is yours too, as long as my happy world is one you like, all of it or just some parts of it. *hugs*

I almost sounds like a mistress dont I writing about My will with big letters. Well, I can be that too if I want. I can be anything or anyone i want, so can You see there i mentioned you too with a big letter. *hugs*

August 19 13:54
Oh i thought waking up to resume last nights last rather long quest would just fall flat at first. Even the main website where i was saving software to challenge my brain with did not respond. But after 4 attempts it showed webpages, and i could click onwards, and actually end up down at a page where i could request product acvitation. So now i may have today full of learning and testing to do, back to school with me. *giggles* Well maybe some dont mind that at all in a while. I also made a decision about something rather general, but also something important. It is something that will override most other decisions in fact, by me or citizen votes. And that is: This is My happy world, and I will do whatever i want to make Me happy. That will come first. I should not and will not worry about what others think before i think about what I want to do, share, say, or accept in return fron interactivity or anything. That does mean i will put my own fun before citizens. Possibly not forever, but lets say it would take at least 50 almost 90% agreeing citizens to make me consider a decision against my own idea of fun at any given moment. That means exactly what it says, but it doesnt mean i dont care about others opinions.

What it does mean is I rule here and i will do whatever i feel like. Dont like it? Then look at something else i do, or just leave.

This is an important decision on my end, and for anyone liking everything or some things i do around here, because as long as the happy world is my happy world, it can be your happy world too. If i dont find the happy world happy... then it just might all crumble and fall. Wich it almost did the last two years. But now i will go see how the software works, and if i can start exploring something quite new in computer-space.

August 19 03:42
Just have to enjoy the fun of finding a free version, downloading big files, installing, reading, trying to start software... and it asks for Serial Number and Authorization Key. Now that should be easily gotten just like the software. Only thing i could find was some page not responding, so guess i should try tomorrow. Or that will be later today.

August 18 22:57
In Second Life i did recently find an island that looks like a happy world. I have not snooped around much, but stopped near some nice flowers with a warning about Beeeees! and a bee disguise.

I dont need that, bees are very good animals and the ones there care more about the flowers than me.

I think even if i dont end up building something in there again, i should show some of the more positive creative things people made in there. Perhaps especially for anyone who cant fly around in there, it is rather demanding on both computer and perhaps more so having fast Internet. Anyway there are small critters in there, called Tinies. Normal humanoid avatars (characters) will find tinies about knee height. Bunnies, koala bear, hippo i saw many in a shop and every last one is cutie.

If the happy world does move in there, with some citizens, having a tiny self will be a requirement and paid with taxes.

But not now because apparently now on weekend search isnt even workin. So back to hugs and maybe some tv snooping instead.

I do hope everyone is having nice days and weekend, me and hugfriends are mostly ok.

August 18 21:05
Mmm some funny tv helps the happy world stay happy.

News are no fun but me and Mr Bear watch them anyway so we know what happens in our planet. But things like AFV or Americas Funniest Videos is a lot more fun. Silly animals, people, kids and almost guaranteed a laugh or many in half an hour. Perfect.

Other than that since i am slow creating webthings, i pondered on an important decision myself lately. But now Mr Bear wants more hugs and me too!

Live picture will come back tomorrow. Other than that i have things to decide about future so it may end up a day with me and hugbears having mostly a long meeting.

August 17 23:16
Today i had a boring headache all day, and only got worse now in the evening. So i am going to bed hope Mr Bear can help me with his soft huggy paws.

August 13 22:20
So there, at least i got something done creating pages for the quest of making Mr *hugs* Bear a millionaire.

Even if that is only around 1/270th of a dollar millionaire i like the idea.

I will get other webthings and pages done tomorrow and rest of week but for now i found a nice camping spot next to a fountain in a park. Well the camping benches arent very comfy... but it is ok anyway we sit around on them for a good cause.

I will share the location tomorrow since i might be sitting around there if someone wants to say hello. *hugs*

Another thing late night tv from older times i saw Airwolf last night that is a bit old times too in a way similar to MacGuyer. I remember some time ago when nights were days or so for me i could see a lot of old movies, many western movies, some were even without colour but good anyway.

Anyway i am getting rid of distractions, and that will include tv snooping a bit. Although watching tv is a nice thing to do before sleep or when brain is tired.

August 12 22:34
It seems i have to do something serious to get rid of things that distract me from ruling the happy world properly.

August 11 15:00
I just read that blog and apparently the aspiring L$ millionaire had lots of moneys in the failed 'bank' uh oh. But i wont do that mistake, i will set this up over weekend along with some other webthings because wether I trust Linden Lab or not is not so important if we share efforts and gather moneys together its no big deal even if the whole virtual world collapses. And it would be great to make one vision i had a long time (virtual) reality.

That vision includes at least one whole island (sim) with the grandest castle ever built, and a lot of happy world citizen homes nearby.

But unless many are interested or become so, it isnt worth the creative energy or even the costs. But time will tell, and first things first Mr Bear should be a millionaire what we do with the L$ or dollars later is up for future decisions. *hugs*

August 11 13:34
I cant be bothered to play poker for now, there are more interesting things to do. Even that brain challenging game i found in Second Life is more interesting, although maybe they dissapear any day if they are classified as gambling. I did read there was some rules about wagering, and random outcome. So i would assume they wont be around very long, since you pay into a pot and use your brain to beat everyone else. So i guess it depends on if there has to be both randomness and wagering involved, or if wagering on 100% skill based games is ok. Time will tell i guess.

Someone did come and grab the pots just before the end of the 24 hour time, just as i figured. Some people already practiced so they will know their limit and can just snoop each day if nobody beat their usual max level of completion. It does get tricky remembering colour patterns beyond just a few, and i saw some manage 13-14 wow...

Guess maybe that is professional chess players in SL.

Anyway poker is history, until some citizens decide i should dive into it again. I have other things to do, one thing will be gathering more L$ for Mr Bear, the other is the webthings ofcourse. See i will not spend one more dollar inside Second Life. But that doesnt mean i cant play it using only the L$. Pay nothing into the world and nothing to loose, so better than poker any week that way too. I just remembered once i stumbled onto a blog about someone slowly gathering L$ to become a L-millionaire. I also remember he put some (or maybe all) the slowly camping-earned moneys into the now failed Ginko 'bank' scheme. That would be 5 steps back, i think i go search for it. I think Mr Bear should get to be an L millionaire. *hugs*

One thing that did strike my mind when i read about the Ginko 'bank' failure is how similar the name is to Gingko Biloba something, wich i vaguely remember as being some product marketed through MLM in Sweden. Maybe no longer big, but it once was. Since Ponzi schemes in a way are similar to MLM one could ponder upon if the 'bank' creator took the name from a source of inspiration. Where else does the 'bank' name come from? No clue here. I am just lucky i never left any moneys in there, and as things are now i will withdraw any L$ above a few thousand right back home here to Mr Bear for safe keeping. I dont even trust the economy in that virtual world to hold up. A bit like the shaky real world economy lately, i read both US, European and Japan central banks are pumping money into the economy now to try and keep it stable with stock markets going down. Its just that if the L$ fails, Linden Lab can do nothing to save it. Currency speculators could try ofcourse... but wow they would need either serious bravery or stupidity to take risks with perhaps a few hundred thousand dollars if or when the L$ plummets. Big risks for small gains isnt how wise investing is done, even i know that and im no expert. Mr Bear is the cleverest with all money things but i learn from him with every nice economy meeting we have here in the little castle.

Oh well back to getting some things done today.

August 10 19:49
Tried that game in SL and as i suspected it was very tricky to play fast enough. No problem with memory

but is just that the virtual 3d world and how it works made it difficult to click the colours in a circle any efficient. So not bothering anymore.

August 10 15:10
I got sleep-attacked today again, maybe this time because i could not fall asleep in the night, but ended up tired in the mind anyway. Its no surprise, i know i get tired if i stay up long just like anyone else. But i waked up at least, and still afternoon so maybe i can be awake until midnight and hours get repaired unusually fast.

I have no idea how much creative i end up today though, but i will definitely try to get something useful done because there is not much left of this week and i wanted more than just one or two webthings done for week.

Just now i also stumbled into something that might be fun inside Second Life. While they have now banned gambling and wagering, based on randomness. It still appears maybe games of skill are ok, i dont really know the US rules regarding online gambling. I found a game machine in there, where one should remember colour flash combinations. I never tried that yet and really have no clue if my memory in that sense is better than everyone else trying that. But it looked like the pots are divided once per day, and the best memory gets it. Sounds like a game worth becoming the best at possibly and could give mind daily exercise.

I will try it later, some of the happy world citizens who also are still residents along with their Princess in that world are gathering moneys on the lazy camping benches. Then they do what they want, give the money to their Princess. Thank you and if i can win that game of skill the winnings will end up being used for something useful. Inside that virtual world or moved out of there, depends on votes later. *hugs*

August 10 03:33
It seems i cant get sleepy, just as i thought. Oh well... i go out for a walk in the night, maybe when i come inside i am either sleepy or got energy to be creative.

Me and little webmaster decided first task is going to be a security thing, not really required since long and maybe not this year but we still dont like the random lame script kiddy hack attempts the logs show every week. So we will create a little background program that analyzes the log files for any and all suspicious activity, blocks all suspect hosts trying to connect, and that is all really. It is not a very complicated thing me and the little webmaster Garfield surely can figure it out.

But we never did yet, just a half automagic but also manual way to fend off things. It still to this date boggles even my mind how any of the brute-force hack softwares even bother to try and login as root. I dont think one server nowadays is installed with that even possible as default... so that is a dead giveaway. One attempted login as root equals instant ban.

Another point is the dictionary type lists used wont ever break into a private server with just one or two users, possibly having user names like jghnf63j with password j5qiutTw5 i mean come on... *boggle*

But we want out logs neat and clean. Webmaster will share help and links to useful information, just in case someone else around here has use for it. *hugs* See we can be useful here too.

Oh and yes there is already programs, free even, that does this. But we want our own defences, learning is never a bad thing anyhow.

Best defence on Internet though is regular backups and we will resume moving those into the bank vault later.

August 10 00:48
I just looked around and noticed the big 700 people tournament is still going on, after 3 hours. Not so sure that is for me then, there are 5 minutes breaks each hour i would use for hugs with my hugfriends but still that is a long time if one ever get that far. Maybe i just remove the gaming moneys next week and buy candies. Hmm, well maybe i get the opinion buttons for citizens done in weekend then i could let others decide things like that.

I just wonder how to sleep now, i want friday morning to be before lunch so best try and get sleepy now. Why cant a sleep-attack come in the evening more often, i mostly get them in the middle of day that is just the worst time to get extremely sleepy. Humpf.
August 09 23:49
Just so nobody thinks i am joking about actually having a clever brain, i sat down and won one of those small 5 person tournaments. So that paid for the earlier big tournament where i ended up about as far from first place as last place.

Maybe another after a cup of tea, just to help poker funds be on positive until i can some day maybe win one of the tournaments with many players. First place in one with like 700 people, or 200, well that can pay entry for heaps of more tournaments.

August 09 23:07
I will try to sleep tonight anyway, i dont want to end up sleeping all day and getting morning hugs in the evening and that again. It is just nicer to be awake when sun is up.

I just finished on place 372 out of 789 in a poker tournament. Far from good enough to win anything obviously, but still better than *finds calculator* 417 others so not too bad anyway. I might give up this new game idea i stumbled into, but for now i just kind of see it as moving the dollars i sold game gold for and using them for card game instead. So no loss either way, but i get to practice and see if i can improve good enough before gaming moneys are all lost. Well i dont plan to loose them, and i actually only plopped some into the swedish gaming place i think the rest i put in Mr Bear's smiley treasury so our happy world has some money saved.

I actually wish i was clever enough to be great playing chess or some such more brain-demanding game, but chess is too complicated. One thing for sure puts chess before poker in terms of skill that is the obvious, chess is all skill no random cards. But i also would put poker before roulette or slots or lottery games that are only luck. So no i dont usually throw away money on roulette, that is rare. Maybe i would do best beside a gentleman as a lucky charm.

August 09 20:25
I got surprised by a sleep-attack today.

Mostly only the Garfield cats get that but today i got it too. I think it will move my sleeping hours quite a bit forward, somehow too sleepy to do anything all afternoon will make it difficult to get to bed before midnight i am sure of. But at least there is sometimes tv in the night, i somehow like those older tv series and movies almost more than new ones. MacGuyer is so clever isnt he?

And i think in the nights i saw other old things too, they were just done differently than new things. And everything looks different, clothes, cities, cars, plots and whatever. In the nights while i could not sleep earlier i also ended up more than once seeing world poker tour episodes. Interesting? Well i watched some, and i have tried it online a bit long ago, and then lately i decided to try again. That was actually one of the things i focused on earlier, testing if i am good enough, or near good enough, to be on the winning side of things. Before that i had to think of what kind of games are best for me. I know i dont like the whole money counting thing all that much, and just as expected i sooner or later ended up loosing in those 'cash-games'. Probably to some of those grinders who play safe all days long to slowly but surely take money from everyone who plays bad or just for fun. Anyway, before i did the focused test i obviously read a lot about how to play, and i realised tournaments should be my thing. Not that i had played many, but when playing poker tournaments (just like those big ones in the tv

) everyone pays a start fee, then everyone get chips, and start on equal grounds. Good, no need to care about moneys until tournament is over.

And the bigger reason is one thing i read, its about survival. Usually only 10-13% of tournament entrants get any moneys won back. So to win, one has to be better than many others. And with that comes what i read about that is perfect for me, strategic thinking and survival instincts. That might sounds weird, but it is why i once was quite good playing Warcraft game (strategy and survival).

And playing Sim City (strategy). And so i thought, why not give it a serious try. After all, it would be fun to find a new game i can learn to play well, that suits my brains way of thinking, and maybe also adds coins to Mr Bear's treasury in the long run.

Since i got nothing done so far today i write here, but i am thinking to create separate pages about exploring this big world of card playing. My first focused test was 5 person sit and go tournaments, day one was ok, day two went bad. So i moved to regular bigger tournaments, thinking the whole idea of survival might be more important there. And i won back all i lost, placing 6th out of over 200. Just to calm all citizens, i do not play with big moneys and i promise i will not throw away citizen taxes on gambling. *hugs* I play the smallest best possible its about 3$ per tournament because the moneys are not the game, winning a tournament is about the chips. So far i never won, and i dont have all numbers kept after the change of where i probably should be playing. I have gotten 'in the money' i think 30-40% of the time, and to final table 2 times. So if i had the numbers, i may have started 10 tournaments so far with over 200 entrants, beat most of them twice, and earned more winnings than i paid to enter. Not bad for a princess i think?

I will slowly carefully test the waters, and if i find my brain really is good at this game i will not only make pages about it, but share my way of thinking with citizens. Just everyone remember the most important of all, never ever gamble with money you need for something else. *hugs*

I know i dont. Well the most fun would be sometime ending up at those world poker tour final tables and get to be in the tv. *giggles* I doubt that will ever happen, but who knows.

See i can be many things, a poker princess too maybe.

Anyway now i want to wake myself up some way and i think a walk to buy some candies and perhaps coffee too will help. Hmm, or tea, i dont like coffee much. Tea helps wake up the brain too, maybe i need my big cups of tea it could be why i got so tired suddenly today. There was no tea in kitchen since two days ago. Oh my, i may be a tea addict. I better figure out if i am.

August 08 17:27
I just got the offer for my game account...

55$ that is just lousy. Not selling for that, i let my game characters retire in their comfy homes instead.

Now off to something else.

August 08 15:33
So much to do, where do i start. I think i start with some hugs, Mr Bear is such a distraction every time i look i see he wants hugs and then i want hugs too...

But dont worry, i do have the royal duties at the very front of things to do. That does include hugs ofcourse, but since hugs dont really make much webthings happen we will try and have those in mornings and evenings.

Maybe just some important meetings in the day, me and hugfriends do end up thinking up good ideas and solutions if we keep our heads very close and arms around each other. Group hug meetings, they are the nicest even if meeting topic sometimes can be a worry the hugging helps.

Actually i think it is the combination of hugs being nice, being able to relax our brains but at the same time thinking all together to find whatever answers the meeting is looking for.

This reminds me of something i read some year ago, and i wondered about it myself long before that even when i was like 14 years old... i wondered, why do i so often get so good ideas, just as i go to bed and try to fall asleep? The reason is, brain gets more blood when you lie down. At least that is what i heard somewhere sometime, and i guess it make some sense. So if you have a job that demands good ideas or solutions, and boss says lying lazily somewhere comfy to figure something out is a waste of time... well they dont know. Although dont just go do that, boss might get angry since it looks lazy. But i did read about some computer programming company wich totally allowed that, i dont remember name but it is a very succesful one. So laying down, closing eyes 5 minutes to relax and then focus brain on some important decisions or so is actually good. It works for me anyway, wich is why i wouldnt want to have to sit on a throne all day ruling. All blood with all the vitamins brain wants would end up in my feet, then i would just make bad decisions perhaps. *hihi*

I know i wrote this before, but this weekend i Do expect comparably many webthings here to be done or in testing or at least started. Or at least neatly lined up on the planning page, since citizen priority buttons can then help decide what is important and such. Wich means the citizenships need get done too, oh well... see we do need a meeting right now in the day.

It will be a meeting to figure out how to get the most possible done before and during this weekend.

August 07 23:49
Hmm the focus got a bit lost again, but i will find it tomorrow.

Me and hugfriends just saw some hurricane movie or some such, i think we look out for something more positive whenever tv is on next. Oh and selling a game account, well i snooped just a little and see the brokers selling them for like 300-400 dollars. So i filled in a web form to get a quote, and i can easily say if its under 100 dollars i rather let my character retire in peace.

Its weird to do this, because one of the things i focused on earlier was a game, one to maybe replace computer games actually. I will share more about that too soon but with many webthings to get done i best take care of important pieces first. *hugs*

August 06 13:05
'Offline until 10am eastern Monday' wich should be 16 in my afternoon. I aim to complete the gold selling part of the refund quest today, after that its just to decide if, and if so where, i sell the second game account i had for over two years. There is one very funny (although it ends violently) game video about deleting a character. I already did that to several i played for months, it was a hard decision but now they are gone. And selling the only two out of 6 remaining is just the same. Although this time i know i wont be coming back so the only decision is, do i want to let someone else buy the character or not. I decided i dont really care, and besides i do still have the first account in hibernation in case citizens want to play that game in future...

Well first a big cup of tea. Live picture had to be off over night, i should be able to change that today. Not that anything much happens while i sleep except me sleeping but like mentioned before it is the one single place we all spend most time of our lives in, the bed. So at least that way a bed corner view with sleeping princess and hugfriends should be more interesting than, well the bed corner view with nobody there. Or sofa view and nobody there. But never know in comfy sofa sometimes the Garfields invade after having done a kitchen attack.

Yesterday evening i went for a short walk outside, i visited a small playground nearby the castle to borrow the swings. It was long since i did sit on one of those, but was nice and one of the things possible even wearing a long gown.

There is that reason for younger ladies and girls to wear shorter skirts Lady Bear would remind of, its so they can play easier. I would just have trouble climbing in any of the climbing thingys or such things. Me and Lady Bear really should find time writing pages on properness, just so any other girls in the happy world know how they should behave and dress. Wich ofcourse also makes it known what behaviour is not ladylike and considered naughty

but then being naughty is fun sometimes, uh oh what did i say now... hmm, Lady Bear is busy over there she didnt hear.

Another thing coming mostly for citizens but also tourists, is frequent eBay shopping suggestions and other more permanent places to shop for roleplay, cosplay, or just to wear or get for home.

Now i promise thought that if I find something on eBay i really want, i will say so, and trust me it is not a good idea to compete with my bidding in auctions. But i dont shop much lately, and besides i have Lady Bear's wise rule of sewing one gown before i get to buy another. That does make sense, but also means i have to complete one gown myself before i get to go shopping... and oh my have i missed some pretty things by being lazy with sewing. But that will change.

August 06 00:34
We watched Discovery tv again a short program was about top 10 sexual archetypes.

10 was Lolita, 5 i think was Librarian, 4 i guess could be meme the Female Boss

3 was guys nr bad boys those Harley riding adventurous ones. 2 was the movie star men, wich they concluded is mostly just a fantasy anyway happens to very few... and 1 was the Vamp/Seductress. Guess one should be not just the female boss, but the naughty dressed sexy flirty one who is also in control. Well being a Princess i still think i should be at number one! *giggles* but i can live with being on nr 4 desirability, or 5 even i like books even if no librarian.

Some types were the ones to marry, some were the ones less likely for relationships beyond short ones. Anyway was a fun little program to snoop at a while.

August 05 17:12
I think after playing the game so much yesterday to complete (almost) refund quest part 1 me and hugfriends will just have a lazy evening today. I am a bit tired of computer corner so think we best be in comfy sofa corner instead.

Or the lazy cozy bed corner.

Anyway welcome to visit a bit later, and next week i really will be taking care of our happy world better. There will be no distractions except possible real world worries, but maybe we can avoid those.

One worry for Second Life residents may now be the likely collapse of the Ginko bank. I read about it sometimes, never put any L$ money in there though. It had very high interest returns, apparently now .1 percent per day. I mean wow... real banks are not even close. But as some pointed out long ago, and moreso lately, that virtual 'bank' is likely just a scam. Ponzi scheme is what most call it, i will have to say that is likely. Not even in a (previously) quickly expanding and growing virtual world can a bank pay back that much interest to everyone who put moneys in there. Unless they are selling drugs or something...

Now withdrawals are limited, people are angry and the 'bank' tries to raise fresh money selling bonds and things. What a mess. Maybe Mr Bear should open a happy world bank later, with reasonable returns though...

August 04 20:04
There, gathered things worth about 2800 more gold so should be done with the required part of part one.

If my math is working today i should have gathered over 4000 gold coins, wich should sell for 24 dollars or more depending where i can throw them away. No big hurry with that i just wanted to get the required gaming done and over with. Me and hugfriends want to be alone my eyes are tired after hours of game, but live camera will wake up tomorrow for those who want to visit us. I promise that, not just a maybe this time. *hugs*

August 04 15:33
Guess maybe the diary needs an edit option for me sometimes.

The big IGE broker will buy minimum 1000 gold coins, but rarely need to buy. Another smaller buys 10000 gold coins minimum, wich is quite a heap. So that is what i want on both characters minimum. Then sell the gold, sell the account, and quest complete. I get no game quest experience from this quest, but i have gotten myself one more experience point in the life quest.

So while a grey area involving a black market, one idea for anyone is to prioritize piling mmo money. If the game company dissapoints you badly with a rule change, you can get something in return when you quit. I wish i had thought of that from the start myself.
August 04 15:18
I decided to end the mmo gaming quest this weekend after noticing a useful change. It might say nothing to anyone who never played Everquest 2 but harvesting suddenly gives almost 5 times more rare harvests. Rarities ofcourse can be sold for more than the common, and so while prices probably end up lower from that change, i will just harvest lots and lots all weekend.

That is because i only found two brokers buying gold, one will only buy 1000 gold coins minimum. I have characters on two servers, so each should have 1000 or more golds before i can end the refund quest in a good way. Character 1 is done.

Character 2 started today with 8100 gold and already in 3 hours i have listed things worth around 1500 gold coinages, so if i get tired of this maybe i end the coin gathering today. And then decide on a buyer, and then get rid of the account altogether. After that there is no turning back, and my mind will not be bothered anymore by what has been. I am keeping one account for now, but i will not be resubscribing it unless many citizens want to play that game in the future.

Yes this means delays with webthings, but i will do a lot better with webthings if mind can focus on only that and have no other quests to drift away to. Mr Bear thinks this is a good idea too.

I am quite capable of focusing on more than one thing at a time, but i do best focusing on just one thing. I think its the same for everyone.

August 02 18:01
Just stumbled on something sort of funny, so i added the link to the bouncy smiley above there. *points at the pink bouncy smiley*

This ofcourse gave me the simple idea that like everyone can later help Ture find positive news, we should all share funny things with the bouncy smiley.

August 02 15:44
Me and Mr Bear just realised maybe Paypal wont have an issue with moving money for the happy world, being that no actual adult content is paid for. At least not directly, and if they allow payments to places like Second Life where gambling (no more though) and escorting always was a big thing... well there should be no difference between a big customer or a smaller should there? I do know Paypal has a history of not just being picky, but also closing accounts and freezing (=taking!) the money in an account on a whim. So we will request a business review first. We have to try because otherwise it might be difficult to move moneys any way except from everyone to Mr Bear. And we want to reward citizens small or big in different ways too. *hugs*

Happy world will need two way payments between citizens and the royal family sooner or later anyway so can hope a review gets an ok.

Now a warm bath, then i can actually resume webthings not just think about this and that.

August 02 15:19
Listening to DI Radio to wake up my brain i realise something has been missing too long next to webthings. That is music writing. Expect a citizen priority choice for that too.

And even if no priority i am going to begin searching for inspiration right this week, you can expect a little mini CD before this year is over. What kind of music i end up creating is unknown, but will be either relaxing, ambient, new age kind of something. Or dancey music wee!

August 02 14:47 [webmaster news]
A little news from the webmaster Garfield to start this day.

It seems i got up to a late start, maybe sleeping hours are shifting forward again. I also need to make sure our kitchen has nice eatable things in it, maybe time my servants hurry back from summer holidays and help me with that.

Anyway if i wake up late i usually dont go to bed early either so still hope to get somewhat many webthings taken care of today. *hugs*

And yes the live picture comes back later today, i mentioned it earlier and i think it might now be an idea to have it snoop in computer corner. That way any citizen waiting patiently or impatiently will see just about how much time it actually takes to take care of the happy world.

August 01 21:52
Me and hugfriends saw how they make steering wheels for sailing boats, and some other little bits and things. Discovery channel has so much interesting to snoop at.

Tomorrow i start updating webpages today only did some preparing, hope i can get much done tomorrow.

I also hope to maybe have citizenships possible this week, since that is quite a lot about not just motivating more creativity but also help deciding what the little happy world government in the little castle should be doing.

That is yet another idea i got sometime, to have buttons of a sort where citizens get to put their vote for what they want me to focus on. Is it a priority to keep live picture on? Try and write stories? Make photos? Fiddle with webthings here or elsewhere? Well each day every citizen are supposed to be able to add a vote for what they think should be a priority, each morning i will see how the current weight on things importance is. I dont promise to follow that all the time but things like that will be very valueable for me so i can figure out what my happy citizens want done. *hugs*

So that is a priority first as far as citizenships go, that and some decisions (chat client for one) and being able to comment in diary, comment or discuss articles/pages, and add photo comments that wont make Lady Bear angry ofcourse.

So there, sharing some of the plan so far now just have to try and get as much as i can of it done this week.

Oh and one 'what to focus on' button will be sewing. Because that can take two days for one gown, and i still have heaps of fabrics i never used for dresses yet. Red to replace the old is half done, so if a citizen or a few put their vote towards completing that, and then read it is finished, then can put their vote on making a new photo and i would realise the hint. So that is about how i thought that could work. Not that citizens make the decisions, but i do think that is a nice way of having a democracy on Internet and will be a lot quicker and easier to use both for me and citizens than emails. Emails and chat will get their time too ofcourse, because that is what the taxes Mr Bear hope to gather is about, namely time. The most valueable thing we have. Not weekend yet or anything but hope everyone has a nice wednesday. *hugs*

Well maybe that game refund quest doesnt get to end part 1 today, the brokers information is unreliable. Says a price, shows green to buy, but then creating an order doesnt work. As if wasting time on non-working things when trading things with a total value of perhaps 50 dollars is any point. I told them to fix it today or i just go sell to a competitor, doesnt matter to me much if i sell for less dollars.

In a way i dont mind at all, all those activities are wrong, and bad for the mmo games. The only thing good about selling is that is the winner side of the dark side. Buying game coins or assistance, that is the actual cheating. Selling excess game currency, while providing the same for possible future buyers, well that is the grey area in my opinion. But i do this to get something in return for all the time i spent, and ended up feeling like i wasted. I wont do the same mistake again, in the future it will take at least 10 happy world citizens go with me to play one such game for me to do it. One exception can be... playing free trials together for whatever time those are free.

I dont think anything stops us from deciding on a week to all go 'try' World of Warcraft together.

Or go 'try' Everquest 2 together, or wait for LOTRO to have a free trial week wich is likely to show up. I think most mmo games have free trials, just like other non-subscription games have free demo versions to try before deciding to buy.

So today i resume the responsibility of ruling our happy world and i will do my best to not dissapoint those of you who care about it. *hugs*

I just earned and sold more L$ because i felt like refunding myself some of the L money i lost earlier when buying virtual land for more than i later sold it. That happened a few times, not because i have a bad sense of economy but because i wanted to be creative, bought land, built, got tired for one reason or another then just wanted to get rid of land. Not really a refund but i withdraw 20 more dollars from that world so at least something for a days efforts.

And just now i think i saw a good opportunity to move the game refund from negative to positive economy wise too. That is one thing about that grey/black game money, items, or accounts market. If there is none or little demand its hard to sell things for anything worthwile. Since i only bother with gold coins for that, and only for at most around half of the rest of this month, i best sell when i find a broker buying for decent cents per gold.

It really is ever changing, the biggie IGE yesterday bought on one roleplay game server EQ2 for .004 cents per gold coin. Today i saw they pay .008 cents per gold, so my guess is even the low wage chinese gold farming shops dont want to sell for too low. Good for me, i just have to somehow sell my pile of gold for that better price, before someone else sells and makes broker not want any more. But i am stuck with a big stock of items not sold yet. So that is a dilemma. But not wanting to be stuck with unsold game coins past this month i better decide today. I am gathering gold in the food market mainly though, so if i wait for tomorrow i could have a huge sale and feed everyone for cheap. At least that is a nice positive thought.

I should have citizen opinions done i could have asked about things like this, but then i need to get citizenships working first. And oh we need to fluff Mr Bear's nice green pillow too first. He needs the comfiest work office ever mmmmm.

Hmm and i better start making decisions today so i go sell game gold, if the broker wants more later i might have gathered more. But if i am stuck later in month with lots of coins and no buyer or lower market value its a missed opportunity. So time to sell. *dings the stock market bell* or however it works in stock markets.

Think i saw some bell in a movie once and i read about it somewhere too they open in New York with a bell ring. What do i know, that is Mr Bear's domain. *hugs*
