for the record, i had a mother-like premonition that i'd be hearing from you. i was at work this morning doing the same damn task for nine hours so nothing was distinct about any given moment, except for the five minutes i'm going, "geeze, wtf ever happened to KEL, ferfucksake?" and i thunk on it a while and then drifted off to something else as one might do in a small, enclosed, mental-hospital-like white space.
but i hadn't been thinking of you before this for some time because you ONLY EXIST IN SL.
Welcome back. Don't worry. We'll wait for you to return when you're good and ready. Fashion will always be here and always be the ... thing that it is. Besides, it just means more material waiting for you when you're ready!
Ironically enough, just as you're returning to SL, I'm in the process of jettisoning off my scripts and abandoning all my SL and LSL-related projects.
BTW, starlasoma, much love for that House/Python icon.
Was a good scripter, but really, it's a very limited language. Good for a scripting language, yes, and for the size of LL, it's a lot of product. But there's so much more I can do with applications programming (Cocoa roxxors my boxxors) than a light script, and it's orders of magnitude more productive and much more economically viable. Straight out of college, I was earning an average of > $20 USD/hr. Know anyone who would pay a scripter $5,200L an hour or even come close? And for consulting, that'd be more like $10K/hr.
That and the whole user interface thing.
In being 'cross platform', they've standardized on Windows, making the Mac experience even worse. I miss Drag-and-drop text, spellchecking, throbbing buttons, multi-image formats, dock icon badge, multi-window, expose, animated windows, drop-in-files, menu bar placement, menu placement, command key conventions, multi-sound format, special characters, and other mac-isms that have been a standard or arisen in the last 20 years. Cut/copy/paste is only sufficient for System 6 on

Well, not only that, but they seem to break the exact things they're trying to fix with every new update and they need to just scrap all code and rebuild from the original core, not that that will EVER HAPPEN...
...and yeah, hellishly Windows-centric. I'm a Windows person and that bugs me.
But I will miss the raccoon-shaped person. :) In the meantime, I'll jes' have to read your journal more often!

You came in with a STARTLINGLY vivid rush to my brain last night. Met someone in SL last night who lives in Orlando.
I mean, not that it means anything in the larger scheme of things, but it's part of what brought me back, the whole, OMGSTARLA reaction.
Not that you obviously *can't* be left alone to your own devices and be swimmingly beautiful without my help. But still.
...yeah, it's gonna be a process. I'll work on it.

YOU!
*clings to you*
I missed you horribly. I demand that you stop being depressed immediately. In the meantime, I must cover you with kisses.

I will do my best on the depression and the withdrawing. Don't let me do that again.
And more kisses. Yes yes yes.

All for you!

*but clings to you for more kisses*
Getting un-lost.

Noticed I hadn't seen you much on of late...pity, though, you wuz a good scripter.
I could never figure LSL out. I was thrilled when I got a light script to work.
