BORN store soon to be redesigned and moved

Soon I will be closing the BORN Uberstore. This is not the sad kind of closing like “I just can’t make it”, or “I give up”, but a very pleasing closing.

The plan is to get BORN out of the class 3 litter-infused, script-ridden, clogged-toilet of a sim that it is in, and into one with just a few other designers; the plan is to move BORN to somewhere that it belongs in Second Life.

The new area will be one that is more open, and will not need 20m walls to hide how ugly the neighbours developments are. BORN will be in an area with strict rules about design and placement. The entire sim will be well designed, and an experience to walk through (or fly over).

Please check back on this site for further developments, teleport locations, and awesomeness.

If you need any of the products or services that you are accustomed to finding in this place, please contact YuzienBorn Janus.

Good day.

My name is Ranger Capalini and I am writing you in regards to The Centering Place, a sim dedicated to helping people in crisis, from depression, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and suicide. We offer active support groups as well as self help resources on these topics and more, all on a volunteer basis.

We are celebrating 4 years of successful supporting with an open house on Sunday April 25, 2010, from 2pm to 6pm SLT. We will be getting the word out in everyway we can to make this a great time to celebrate what has been achieved and to let more people know that we are available so that the success of helping continues into the future.

Ichie Kamachi and Elmo Balderdash will be providing live entertainment for the event. The sim will have everything we have to offer on display and our peer supporters will all be on site to discuss what we do and how we help.

We will also be having a Trivia game throughout the afternoon, and an all day Treasure Hunt. We need prizes for either or both of these events, and I was wondering if you would be willing to participate and help us out with one of your wonderful creations, or perhaps a gift card to your store, or whatever you feel might be appropriate. We plan on using copy items, set to no transfer when found, for the treasure hunt, and all no copy items as prizes in the Trivia event.

If you choose to participate, we will have a Donors and Sponsors appreciation board on display (with your logo and LM if you care to provide us a copy) in a prominent location showing your assistance. We will also have a sign with the landmark and info about the open house that you can set up in your store if you desire too as well.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the open house or the Centering Place, or to work out any details.

Thank You so much for taking the time to read about us and our event, and for your kind consideration of support.

Sincerely

Ranger

Have a special request? Just let me know what it is and I can produce it for a rediculous fee.

Soon I will be adding more works from more accomplished RL photographers. You’ll be surprised what a nice image can do for a wall of your house, store, or club.

so happy to be back in SL.

Prepare for great products, sets, wikiwiki (funny how that went from DJing to text)

For all those that welcomed me back, thank you. For all those that didnt … I’ll give you a reason.

Good question.

The website is http://slurl.com/
The title of the page is “SLurl: Location-Based Linking in Second Life“.

What this means is, you can create links for web pages
or for use in Second Life. These links will allow an avatar (you)
to teleport to a location by clicking on the link.

Why this is cool? You can paste a SLurl in group, IM, or conference chat
to invite people to the SLurl-specified location. You could also create a
site or blog making a catalog of your favorite places in Second Life.
Another good reason to use SLurls is that many people turn off the
blue ‘notice’ windows because in busy groups they are uber-annoying.
I just quit the group with too many, but to each his own. Point is, the SLurls
still get through to the group.

How do you make your own SLurls? Easy.

Heres the link to the SLurl builder: http://slurl.com/build.php

Click on that link, the idea is easy. You will have your first done in seconds.
Note: the only fields you must fill out are under ‘Location data:‘.
Once you fill those out (region, x, y, and z), click the ‘Generate SLurl‘ button.

The only thing I can imagine someone would get confused about at this point is what to put in the fields (region, x, y, and z). Well, its at the top of your screen, in the middle, in your Second Life viewer. If you can’t understand this, please click HERE to read more about your fellow dummies.

For those that do not want to go to the SLurl website every time, note the layout:
if the sim name you are in is ‘BUTTERFART’ and your coordinates (x, y, and z)
are 24, 70, 98… then the slurl will be:

http://slurl.com/secondlife/BUTTERFART/43/98/24/

Note that it always starts with http://slurl.com/secondlife/
after that its the sim name, a slash, x, slash, y, slash again, z, and finally slash.

Spaces in the sim name (top middle of your screen) can be tricky.
Slurls, to work with the http methods, cannot have spaces or punctuation.

So, if you were going to make a slurl for the BORN uberstore, it would look like this:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/helens%20pool/110/161/28/

This is called url-encoding. the space from the sim name ‘Helens Pool‘ is replaced with %20.

Many times, if there are spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters in a sim name, it will be easier to visit the SLurl Builder at http://slurl.com/build.php

I hope this helps. If is doesent, and you are still confused, please visit THIS website.

BORN is going to have an event at the main store this Saturday. I will be DJ-ing live for the two hours of the event. There will be BORN Fire-Lizards given away to anyone who wants one during the event.

The music will be Electronic, and properly mixed live. To be more specific, it will be breaks-breakbeat, electro-hop, and electro-house.

We might not do a lot of these. Testing the waters for events right now. Hope to see you there :)

If you dont know how to get there, use the teleports to the left of this post, or click HERE.

The following Pics are from SL clubs I have played at. Theres also a pic of the Fire-Lizard that we will be giving away free (its not the girl, its the thing around her neck). There are about 8 different colors of the firelizards. The package that we will be giving away will have all of them.
