THE GEARSHOP

The system is down

2007-04-24T06:11:00.000-07:00

Well, my computer has crashed to the ground three or four more times. If I didn't love what computers do so much I'd hate 'em. Sorry I haven't been around. I've got (more) parts on order, so hopefully I can get this thing up and stable. Then I can finally get started on new products again!

Wouldn't that be nice.

Since my computer was spiraled into the ground anyhow, I took the time to move my assorted workspace paraphernalia into the spare room. So now I have an actual office/workspace. I think this division, albeit mostly symbolic, will help me get more work done.

-from my work PC...signing off!

Hair Fair

2007-04-07T14:14:00.000-07:00

I've got a new style up at Hair Fair, it's a pony tail for us guys. It's in the Calla booth, and big thanks to Haedon and Tigerlily for the space!

Fall down go boom

Ouch,

So, I finally got the computer I design on finished upgrading, but I also lost all the data on my hard drive. What this means is all the projects I was working on, as well as all my templates...are gone.

So, all the new stuff I've been working on is gone, and it's gonna take me a little bit to get the pipeline flowing again.

Sorry folks!

Blog Rollin'

Isabella Lazarno of the Aspire Fashion Blog dropped me a line to let me know she had blogged the Brown Leather Highwayman Jacket that's at the store for the SL Relay for Life.

Nifty nifty nifty! I'm glad to be able to help with a great cause.

Aspire! Linky Dink!

Ben there, done that

2007-03-13T06:33:00.000-07:00

Ben, of SLmen.com fame does these great "Outfit of the day" blog posts. It's cool to see how different designers stuff works together.

The latest post
http://www.slmen.com/2007/03/11/tenue-du-jour-outfit-of-the-day-5/

features my Gearhead Hair, the Double Clutch style. Very cool stuff!

Also, that quilted vest from Last Call is awesome.

The New Highwayman leather jackets in Brown that are available for a $200L donation to the Relay for Life are at the entrance to the chop shop now, so they're easier to find. The updated SLURL is http://slurl.com/secondlife/Callatropia/188/48/24

If you stopped by yesterday and weren't able to find them, my apologies.

Be a badass against cancer!

2007-03-12T19:46:00.000-07:00

I've done the Highwayman in Brown, and it's available in the main store for a donation of $200L to the Secondlife Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society!

Come by the chopshop and kick cancers ass!

Second man is your first stop!

2007-03-05T07:01:00.000-08:00

Cat wrote a very nice piece about the new store! Even tho' I sound like a moron. I don't quote well. :) Maybe I need an agent!

If you read this blog, and don't read second-man, shame on you!

Of course, if you read this blog, you've got enough problems already... :)

...dirty deeds, done dirt cheap...

Waiter, there's a hair in my store!

2007-02-28T06:21:00.000-08:00

I was subtly reminded I hadn't actually blogged the hair I made... alright, so I'm not that bright :)

All seven styles are available exclusively on Callatropia. Buy them and cover you skull!

It's Friday, and this makes me very happy. I should get a big chunk of time to redo ads for the new store and put some finishing touches on the Calla build. I'd like to be done this weekend and get to work on content for the grand opening.

...teenage dirtbag...

PXP RIP?

2007-02-14T11:04:00.000-08:00

Is PXP gone for good? I don't see it anymore.

Secondlife Broke?

2007-02-12T11:40:00.000-08:00

Is secondlife broke, or am I? I can't get it to login, even after a delete and reinstall. But it looks like folks are online, and there's no announcement that it's down.

:(

The build!

2007-02-12T05:48:00.000-08:00

The build is coming along nicely! I think Hae and Lily are shooting for a opening in about 2 weeks.

I'm very excited, and very busy.

Did you know the Chicken Dance has lyrics? What a strange world.

Heroes tonight!

....in a cubicle....

Ugh

2007-02-02T07:10:00.000-08:00

Just found out we owe a shit-ton of taxes on the house. May be homeless real quick here.

Wow, hopeless despair is a great way to start off the weekend.

mac attack

2007-01-29T07:07:00.000-08:00

Well, I've finally gotten my mitts on a mac at work. It's an old 400MHz G4. It's runnin' OS X.

I had to reinstall it from scratch. Haven't really used a mac since the apple IIe.

Yoinks I'm old.

...a little something to make me sweeter...

Moviefone

2007-01-26T05:38:00.000-08:00

Hmm, I want to see 300 sooooo bad. Smokin Ace's looks good too. And I still haven't seen Children of man. I'm so behind the movie curve.

... my hearts aflame, my body's strained, but god i like it...

Heroes!

2007-01-23T08:10:00.001-08:00

Yay!

That is all.

..illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs...

One thing

2007-01-19T05:52:00.000-08:00

Here's a fun Friday thing.

If I made only one new thing in SL, what would you want it to be?

Yahoo oo oooo

2007-01-17T07:02:00.000-08:00

In the interest of further loss of production, I've installed yahoo at work. My id is nexbrannan

Pummel me.

IcE sToRm!

2007-01-15T05:38:00.000-08:00

I hate winter!

We got pelted with an ice storm, not as bad as some years, but enough to screw stuff up. At least the power and cable are still on.

...this is what style we bring...

It's coming

2007-01-12T05:54:00.000-08:00

The punk jacket post has 213 views, the biker/standard jacket post has 192. Noam mentioned that a good target was 150, which turned the post red (as in red hot I guess) .

So I guess that's good. We'll see if the sales numbers back it up. With the wonky servers maybe folks were just trolling the boards more.

I'm bored while I compile installers at work.
