Man, it's been a while since I've written anything at all. Never fear peoples, here's a new post. I'm finding myself drawn more into SL's fashion world. Now, that may seem stereotypical of a gay man, but I just find it one of the best ways to switch it up. I'm not particularly into costume, although I wear them from time to time (such as looking like a fresh corpse). I am however into clothes and SL allows me to have all of the looks I simply can't afford in real life. I'm sure there are plenty… Continue

There are lots of fantastic fictional builds in Second Life (meaning, they don't exist in the real world), such as Extropia, Nexus Prime, Sick, Black Swan, and Bay City. There are also some great historical builds in SL, like Al Andalus, and the recreation of the Temple in Jerusalem, and the Sistine Chapel. However, I don't see many historical builds in SL. I understand a lot of it is probably due to the restrictions on prim count and getting the textures to look exact, but there HAVE to be more… Continue

Because I bought an additional two parcels on the side of my original parcel, I had to move the tower around so the entrance faced the new plots (now joined to the bigger one).

Yes, it was my fault for not adding a set back, but I can still complain. Fortunately, I had linked parts of the building together, making moving the enti… Continue

I realized I didn't write an introductory post first (sorry, the prospect of moving got me all kinds of excited). Well, let me fix that.

Hi, I'm Gahum. I rezzed into the world on October 26th, 2006 just before that great rush of coprorate interest and public interest. I remember being real lazy about Orientation Island, and wanted to just get out there and wander. The interface didn't bother me, and I found it easy (but then again, I work with a rather difficult system at work so I'm used to co… Continue

I decided. I'm selling my plot of land. Why? Well, the Goreans next door essentially decided to throw up some mega prim walls with inconsistent scenery in order to block everything around them, uncluding my tower. Sure, my tower was 5 storeys tall, but still, it looked WAY better than that shitty mega prim with mismatched mountain scenery, and then with some sky texture on it. The other motivating factor was I ran out of prims, and the lot was quite narrow. Narrow enough it was just wide enough… Continue
