Technology'll getcha, if you don't WATCH OUT!

Did I forget to mention here that Steve and I are going to be doing a podcast interview for Off the Shelf in Second Life on Sunday? Talk about your three degree removal from reality. That meant that I needed to download Skype and get it set up (Yes, I have until this very day avoided having Skype anywhere near my computer. Don't judge me.), then call Steve and figure out the interface, which took thirty-five seconds, tops. Then, I had to go into Second Life and accept the four thousand security upgrades that have come down the wire since the last time I was inside.

It was a bright blue day on Cha'trez Island, and I enjoyed the view of the ocean and the snow-covered mountains (new, since my last visit) from the upper deck of my flying house. So nice and peaceful, my flying house. There was a moment of disorientation; I had forgotten that my avatar is incredibly hot looks exactly like me. Steve visited and we established that Skype works inside the game, too, so, yay! We played doll for a while, then took a work break -- he at the office and me here at home.

Still on my plate this evening, finishing the talk for the 18th (next Thursday!), but I may go collapse on the sofa and watch The Librarian: Quest for the Spear instead. Hello, brain? Come home; all is forgiven.

No, no, it's worse than that :)

We were using a outside-of-game Skype connection to talk to each other inside of SL.
