<p>I'll still be doing some consulting, but moving ReactionGrid forward is my primary focus from now on.</p>Pathfinder Lester commented on 'Second Life Oldbies Tell Sad and Bittersweet Stories of Second Life as It Once Was and What It May Be'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0134889141b6970c2010-10-29T23:14:27Z2010-10-29T23:14:27ZPathfinder Lesterhttp://becunningandfulloftricks.comI'm really glad you picked up on Cubey's story, Hamlet.

<p>And your walking tour of the grid will always be one of my fondest memories of the early days of SL.</p>
<p>I still have my 6 yr old printed copy of the walking tour map. It's wrinkled and tattered and stained with coffee cup rings. But I treasure it.</p>Eggy Lippmann commented on 'Second Life Oldbies Tell Sad and Bittersweet Stories of Second Life as It Once Was and What It May Be'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01348890d0ad970c2010-10-29T21:31:54Z2010-10-29T21:31:54ZEggy LippmannI have an insane amount of stuff dating all the way back to Alpha and Beta in my inventory and...<p>I have an insane amount of stuff dating all the way back to Alpha and Beta in my inventory and no patience to sort through it all.

<p>THIS is one of the reasons I don't delete much inventory and why I started blogging...to remember. SL is so ephemeral that many things of value, beauty and/or fun have been lost. I tell newbies of the old days, and try to keep certain traditions alive. I tell them of sheeping, and why fatpacks used to be called "Willow Packs" I tell them of Dazzle LE sales, and PXP, and Linden Lifestyles. I still have my first plywood cube "boxee".</p>
<p>here's another thought.</p>
<p>Have you noticed that NWN is a kind of oldbie central? Most of the regular readers/commenters seem to be oldbies.</p>
<p>I think I will wear the Rocketeer jetpack today.</p>CronoCloud Creeggan commented on 'Second Life Oldbies Tell Sad and Bittersweet Stories of Second Life as It Once Was and What It May Be'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0134888f61d5970c2010-10-29T16:36:26Z2010-10-29T16:36:26ZCronoCloud Creegganhttp://ccslfashionista.blogspot.comAhhh, I'm dumb..here's another thought.

Where have all the oldbies gone....long time ago.</p>
<p>THIS is why I don't delete stuffage and one reason why I started blogging...to remember. SL is so ephemeral, that many things of value, beauty and fun, have been lost. I still have "boxee" my first plywood cube. I try to maintain certain traditions, I tell new folk of some of things that were and some of the things that we did, but I am not all that old.</p>
<p>Perhaps I shall wear the Rocketeer jetpack today.</p>
