Taking Advantage of a Disabled Avatar
This guy's avatar was victim to a bug that kept him in jet ski pose even after leaving the jet ski. Its the same problem I had with the hoverboard script, but the pose is far worse. At least in our I looked like zombies.
Anyways, my new online friend from Trebor's class and I couldn't help ourselevs taking dirty pictures of him and posting them on the web. hahahaha.

Wine Bottle SecurityI spent the rest of the day working on highly secret security scripts. Some of them I will share with you. Others are top secret. Even the people that think they no have no idea where its at.
The ones that are open for everyone are the wine bottle scripts. You can check them out in tempreal town on the little metal table with the wine bottles.

The green one is a bottle that likes to travel. Each time it gets taken out of somebodies inventory list, it send a messgae to the original owner as to where it located. When its clicked on, it sends an IM to it current owner telling them that someone has clicked on it and the name of the region. I the bottle is taken out in certain regions, namely, Argent, Slate, or Jesse, the bottle give a little commentary.
This script has a lot of potential to track the flow of peoples models and to tell stories.
The next two wine bottle, the purple and the blue one, are slef-destructing bottles. They will self destruct if taken out of inventory in any region other than their defined home region. The purple one is from Argent and the blue one is from Slate. If you take a copy of either of them, and then try and take them out in a land other than the one they originated from, they will self-destruct. This is a great script to add to models that we want people to be able to play with in tempreal town (Argent) and not just anywhere.

Scripting in DiscolandI spent about 12 hours in SL today. I decided to master scripting and write about it for this review I am doing. I ended up finsihing my disco script.

Currenly, it works like this. The user clicks on a giant admission bracelet and then receives a mini wearable bracelet. Thereafter, everytime the user clicks on the disco ball , while wearing the mini admission bracelet, their avatar does one of a series of 10 dances.

Its great to watch everybody dance in sync with each other. It made us look like a boy band.
I hope that some people start designing a disco soon for our event test/quiz!!! I expect to see at leats 50 avatars come to it. So we need modelres to start getting our party going. If anyone els ewould liek to work on the scripts, I would like to teach someone about it.

Rosa ParksShe is cute. She changed history. This is the kind of person that we need more of. FOr those of you that don't rememeber, Rosa Parks is the lady that refused to ride on the back of the segregated bus system and got arrested.

Quote from the The
Troy State University Montgomery
Rosa Parks Library and Museum Site
"On December 5, 1955, four days after her arrest, Mrs. Parks was found guilty and the Montgomery bus boycott began. In response to her conviction, the African-American community in Montgomery boycotted the city bus line. Instead they walked or banded together to organize alternate transportation. The boycott continued strong until 381 days later when the United States Supreme Court ruled the segregation of bus service to be unconstitutional."
I question if this kind of tactic would work here in Buffalo, if ever used for any reason. Not that the buses are segregated, I just mean that if anyone boycotted public transportation for any reason, I think they would just shut it down. That's sad, there is no leverage anymore.
On another note, TK told me that during his school days, the buses were still segragated, albeit, voluntarily. My question is "WWRD?"
