Just some old pics from my regular walking route (and testing some new stuff on the site).

Within the gallery are a few pics that may interest SL Sailing folks; In particular some signs with info about the original New York Yacht Club (home of the Americas Cup). The building next to the actual sign [...]

Yep, I’m Still Alive…
… And can ya guess what I’ve been playing lately? ;-)
Actually, it really was Portal until a short while ago. I made the mistake of downloading the demo of Bejeweled Twist (which, a few days later, I unlocked for the full version). I now have versions of the regular HL games that [...]
Findings on Recent SL Issues (1.20 v 1.19 & earlier)
Well, purely by accident I’ve discovered a primary factor in my high-CPU usage. It was unbelievably simple - Dual Monitors.
Last Friday I caved in and bought a 24″ monitor as an upgrade to my two existing LCD workhorses - a Dell 20″ widescreen and a Dell 19″ - which were still doing OK but [...]
Popping my Head Up
I had no intent of not writing a RSS-able entry in the past two months; In fact I’ve been tweaking away at the site now and then, its just not in areas that will be noticed much by sites like MystBlogs. :p
Anyway, the obligatory ‘what’s been going on since April’ post:

Should an Off-Topic section be brought back? Heck Yes. But there are caveats that go with the [...]

Since their forum currently is for ‘verified’ members only (you have to, at minimum, have credit card info on-file), I will be reposting my major comments here - and summary of responses, if [...]
Fun with Brandz (In Second Life(R) )
[Or how a writing project gets derailed before I even type the first character.]
I’m a bit late posting about this, mostly because 1) I don’t spend my time on this site talking much about SL since there are better places to do that, and 2) I contribute to those sites via commenting instead.
Anyway, Linden Research [...]
Three Years in Second Life
The evening of this past friday (6/29) marked exactly three years since I registered the ‘Alan Kiesler’ account in Second Life. Though officially I left the Orientation island today (7/2) due to a bad crash and RL stuff, I logged in that night to hop around my old haunts.
Upon reaching the ‘Myst Online’ island [...]
