I've decided to make a secondary blog (seeing as for some reason no blog, without extensive HTML modification at least allows for multiple posts on separate pages) to host the notecards information on my products online so people can read about things right here on my blog before going to a store in world or the market place.

One Down
Well sadly these economic times have forced someones hand. The Think Kink mall, home to one of my locations, has had to relocate to a smaller plot of land in order to keep themselves alive. In turn this has caused the closure of the mall they had, and the closure of my store location in that sim.
It sucks for me, but moreso for them who went from a full sim to only part of one. That leaves me with only two locations open, and with money the way it is I don't think I can really afford to find a third again.
But, we shall see what we shall see; perhaps this will work out for the best.

Gag Talk
You've heard it, quite a bit in many cases; that mess of letters that comes from gags thanks to the marvels of RLV and (LSL) scripting.
We, the subs at least, willingly submit ourselves to be gagged and forced to talk like a mouth full of.. well, rubber. But who wants to listen?
I'd made a post a while back in annoyance at the idea that people are making tools specifically to counter act restrictions in order to not be inconvenienced by them. HUDs that listen to channels to pick up the pre-garble chatter so that we don't have to actually try to understand gag talk.
But the worst thing I think is that; from what I've seen, people just tend to ignore gagged people. They'll walk on by as soon as they see a gag, they won't even attempt any kind of conversation because it's just to much hassle for them.
Why is that? What's so bad about having to decipher gag talk? Okay ya, because I wrote the method for my own gag I can read it just fine, and some gags out there are really hard to do. But isn't the reason we play in BDSM sims so that we can partake in BDSM? Why just avoid anyone taking part in it because they're hard to understand?
If all it gets people is ignored.. its no wonder people cheat all the time or avoid using gags. They still want to interact at least on some level but people just seem to lazy to want to put the effort in. They'd rather talk to someone who can speak clearly.
Oh well. Just another annoyed rant at the people.

Marketplace
Well, I've finally gotten around to jumping through another of LLs hoops and swapped over all my links from SLX to Marketplace. The links in the Products List should now work properly.
I still don't understand why they had to go and change it, there was nothing wrong with the way SLX worked before they acquired it.

The Shocking Truth
I just realized today just how bad at this I've been. November 9th, 2009, was when I released my Chastity Belt and then... nothing! Absolutely nothing. How has so much time passed so quickly and all I've done is make a new vendor system for my stores?
I don't know how fast I can get something new to the market, but I will try harder with this realization hitting home.

Name the Capitals
Raise your hand if you know what a capital letter is. The simple, effective, and proper way to start a sentence capital letter seems to have died out at some point. Why is it that the instant people leave school, if not sooner, and come online they suddenly can't find the shift key on any keyboard?
Personally I don't see what's so hard about using capitals, or other proper punctuation, while writing be it for a term paper or just something like this blog post. Yet there are those who, forgiving the lack of punctuation for such short blurbs of text, totally abandon the use of capital letters in lieu of some drab looking spiel.
Maybe I'm just overly picky or sensitive to such things being an author, programmer and OCD but I just can't fathom how it can be so hard to hit the shift key and be done with it. When I'm reading a notecard or an items menu why is it that so many people just do all lower case despite that, especially in the case of menus/dialogs, what they're writing is a label or prose. I can understand not wanting to use all the 'ticky' punctuation and stuff when you're trying to jot out a quick note or an IM to a friend. But this is business stuff, these are things you sell and yet you show yourself as such an amateur, or worse, a lazy developer, by having bad looking menus or notecards simply because you lack the ability to reach over a smidge and hit that shift key.
Oh well, guess it's not exactly something we can change. People who are lazy will be lazy and hardly see aesthetics or proper written language etiquette as a reason to make the extra effort to use the shift key.
