"File a Support Ticket"

That’s the only response you get when you call Linden Lab.  I’ve already filed my support ticket, I’ve already verified that it’s "in the proper support queue" (according to the guy on the phone with me), and I’ve already complied with everything Linden Lab has asked of me. File a Support Ticket, my ass.   [...]

Thank you for your support

I want to thank everyone for their support regarding my recent ban from Second Life.  I still have not heard any reason from Linden Lab as to why I was banned, but the support from many members of the Combat: Samurai Island community has been very heartwarming and appreciated. I have several projects ‘in development’ [...]

Banned? Really Linden Lab?

Well, hell.  Apparently I’ve been banned from Second Life.  I have no idea why, and the notification I received doesn’t make any sense to me yet, but there you have it. Me: Hey Linden Lab, some guy copybotted my stuff! LL: … Me: Angry that they don’t do anything LL: You’re banned. Me: WTF? I [...]

Kodachi V1.06 Update – Now with more colors

As you can see from the above picture, I’ve been busy adding color customization to the Kodachi, which many people have been asking for / complaining about.  The 1.06 update takes it further by fixing the 1.05 update’s issues with colors being too dark on the handle, and adds the ability to choose between the [...]

I just released a minor update to the Kodachi.  From the Release Notes : VERSION 1.02 RELEASE NOTES Resolved an issue with the block prim not appearing consistently, which could lead to the appearance of not having blocked an attack. (Thanks Dazy Shepard) Resolved an issue with a sheath prim that should have been invisible [...]

Hosoi Mura – Beautiful Samurai RP Sim

Dual-Wield Kodachi V1.0 Released

I’ve released version 1.0 of the dual-wield Kodachi today. It can be purchased in several locations in-world, including Samurai Island and other places in my profile Picks, or at XStreetSL by clicking on the image above. This high quality and ultra-detailed set of two samurai swords features sculpted prim construction, high-quality custom textures, and extremely [...]

Vendors Disappearing?

If I have (or rather, had) vendors in your location recently that have suddenly disappeared yesterday or today, it’s not because I’m no longer interested in having them there. The actual reason is that the new server rollout that Linden Lab is doing is resetting the scripts in my vendors for some reason.  When that [...]

Kodachi Progress Report

I’ve been slammed in RL lately, and haven’t been responding as quickly or as thoroughly as I’d like to the IMs and notecards people have been sending me lately, so I thought it would be good to take the time to give a quick progress update on my new C:SI weapon. As you can see from [...]

When HP Customer Service Fails…

… You just have to fix it yourself Many of you know that I have two accounts, but not that many know that Takuan was my original account, and Robby is actually named for an RL friend.  Here is that RL friend, frustrated that HP customer service was not able to adequately fix a “known problem” [...]
