I’ve finally realized that I simply have no interest whatsoever in maintaining this blog anymore, and have decided that I will be shutting it down soon. I had been meaning to redesign and repurpose it, but it’s just been sitting idle, so I think it’s time to stick a fork in it and call it [...]
I’ve been insanely busy lately in RL, due primarily to the need to pay bills and make ends meet despite having recently been laid off from my day job, so I haven’t really been able to give C:SI the attention it deserves. I still only have one weapon for sale, and I’ve been getting a [...]
While I’m quite sure that there are probably more efficient ways to get the same kind of information, I decided to spend an hour seeing what it would take to simulate the familiar LSL function llSensor() in Blue Mars. Below is a lua function that detects all avatars within a given radius, and narrows down [...]
Do you ever play the "Band Names" game, the one where you try to think of a cool-sounding and unique band name? For me, it usually results in some pretty goofy-sounding phrases (witness above), though I do occasionally come up with something kind of almost halfway clost to being mediocre. “There are only two hard [...]
Goodness… My last post is clearly a hot topic, I’ve never had so many comments on a single post before. I still have not caught up, been insanely sick, but I’m actually up and about today and feeling much better, so I have some heavy reading ahead of me tonight, apparently. So, while I’m busy [...]

It’s been nearly three years since I first discovered Torley Linden’s blog post (humorously titled Samurai Island Pizza Cats) and absolutely fell in love with Samurai Island. Prior to that, I was just kind of wandering around playing with stuff and exploring this strange and wonderful new Virtual World I had heard about. During that [...]
You might have noticed that there’s been a lot of instability and oddness going on with this blog over the last few days. I am sorry to say that it’s not over yet, I am still in the midst of a major overhaul, and I expect it to continue over the next few days. I [...]
By now anyone who reads this blog or knows me in-world knows this story already, but I’ve received several IMs from people who say that when they went to look, Ugur was not selling a copybot copy of the Wave Katana like I claimed. When I told Ugur Tunwarm that I had reported him to [...]
I’m in the middle of a heavy push to complete two real-world projects at work, and don’t have a lot of time to write about this idea at the moment, but I wanted to at least take the time to ask for everyone’s thoughts and suggestions on the idea of implementing a basic Achievements system [...]
