Some group calling themselves Cyber University created a a few sims based on US Airforce themes including Ann Ryan and other right wing military stuff. The survey Peter completed was based on an exploration of this sim. Peter answered the survey after completing the exploration. He also had to take snapshots and mail them in as he went along. For all this work he will be paid 20$ US in Linden dollars.
I read James Wanger Au's The Making of Second Life but found it too military.
Land prices are going way down in Second Life. The thought of buying land these days seems more like an investment decision or speculation on the virutal land sales market.
Peter Krogstad wanted a mysterious black helicopter so paid 1000L$ for one. It flies like a real helicopter with real smoke. He has flown and landed it once at his new helioport which he build with a Gimp textures. He built a 10 by 10 texture and then placed this on the top face of some brick work 10 by 10 by 1 platforms. He used four of these platforms and rotated the texture on each getting a circle from the one quarter circle textures. He then suspended these platforms slightly off one side of his house at the top.
Peter Krogstad sold land successfully and did not buy a lot more so he is back down to the fifteen dollars a month land tier. Yesterday Peter sold 64 sq m off that and that sale will cover his tier fee this month. He may move to a winter sim and has a small parcel started in a winter sim with only a snow covered pine tree on it now.
Peter Krogstad successfully sold two parcels of land in Monty.
Peter joined persons from Europe and the USA in a circle to discuss art and our backgrounds in art with the intention of doing art classes in Second Life.
