My Second Life

 What is this project all about? So, I have eluded to a particular project I am working on.  This is actually not new, I started on this many years ago when I was more active on SL.  Then it got dropped during the hiatus, and now that I'm back and motivated again, I've pulled it out of the ashes. If you've done any type of development, you're probably familiar with the feeling of  "how the heck does this work again?"  Well, I've had a few of those moments in the past week, as I'm getting reacquainted with not only the code I wrote, but how some of the things changed over the years, making some of that code unusable.  So I'm still in the "fix the code" mode until I can make more progress.

In my original tenure, I did a lot of going around, looking at a variety of places (from "Clubs" to builder's heaven where you can get tips and tricks on building your own stuff in SL.
