Well some of you may have seen me popping online again already, this is assuming anyone reads my blog... but whatever.
Our move is complete, and while things aren't all how we want them in the end most things are set up just fine and we've been enjoying living in our new place.
Now this doesn't suddenly mean that I will be on all the time making new stuff or some such, it just means that I can if I feel like it. There's still the fact that I just don't really feel like working as hard as I did in the past. Not sure if it's just lingering burnout of SL, or just cause some days it feels futile or just cause I'm lazy and work makes me chaff :p
Who knows. Eitherway, I do hope to get more work done - whether I do or not is the question.

Moving
Well, our moving day moved up a couple - instead of Monday now we're moving on Saturday. This makes Friday a very busy day too getting things as ready as we can, and Saturday, well; we'll be obviously busy.
The appointment has already been made to get our internet connected over there, so hopefully I should only be out of action for the few days it takes to get settled.

New Projects
So been working past little while on a few new projects, nothing really to show for it yet it's mostly just a few prims and theories but I hope for things to all work out in the end.
First off been dabling with a new version of my vendor to make it more owner friendly (more dynamic, possibly even easy enough that I can sell it itself) and to allow people to leave reviews of the products right at the vendor.
I've also been working on and off with my A.N.T HUD to coincide with the update to my chastity belt and it's inclusion in the APS category. The HUD will be something to see if all my ideas work out.
Lastly I've been working on an in world project, a puzzle room for use in a dungeon/maze, inspired largely by my recent playing through of Oblivion.
In other news - we will be moving again soon. Monday the 15th to be exact, I'll be moving back to a place where I have greater levels of privacy and should hopefully be able to "get back into the groove" of coding and building on a more regular basis as opposed to now when I really only get the chance at the least ideal times (late night when my brain doesn't work well).

Review: Real Restraint Vixen Leather Cuffs
A new product by Marine Kelly that inspired me to buy them from a list of features. That right there is proof of their success - what are we here for if not to make stuff people will buy.
Playing around with them I was satisfied to see Marine's tried and true style, good animations - including spreader bar animations which is not something I've seen yet and they're done well which is even better, and a restricting combination of poses.
The fitting, as with most items, takes some time but I think it's worth it for some fun.
There's some decent innovation in them too, even a few ideas that I was planning for my own cuff set (which I guess says good things about me if my ideas are good enough for Marine's famous work). Sadly some of the innovation seemed to go to waste. Things like the crotch chain, which take up the stomach slot, is a neat idea (that of having a bunch of relays to send a particle in a shape to avoid it cutting into the avatar unrealistically - something I wanted for my cuffs) but it only turns on for one of six poses in the arm cuffs and none of the leg poses.
To me that just seems like a lot of work for so little use.
The four collar in one is a nice idea though it makes adjusting it tricky as it's hard to tell what is where.
Overall I like them, they're done well with solid and fast scripts - they have some innovation and of course look great. Perhaps my standards are just to high but I think Marine could have done a lot more to improve them.
8 / 10

Internet Worthy
Here's what I don't get. You go out looking for inspiration or mood or just to waste some time surfing the internets vast supply of pictures and you come across - the faceless wo/man.
Why? Blurring, cropping, smuding; whatever, the face of the person out of an image has it's uses, like anonymity in a candid photo. But why, in an image that you are knowingly putting on the internet for all to see do you erase the face?
If you don't want people to see your face: what the hell are you doing posting images of yourself?
There's nothing worse then finding a rare gem of a artistic picture, with pose and rigging done marvelously (for ones tastes) only to have the image cut off at the chin because the model was, despite knowing the image was going to be online, unwilling to show their face. All it does it ruin the image, it doesn't let people see "the pretty work we did just without my face" it removes all value from the image, imo, because who's going to look at art form when there's such a glaring imperfection?
