Nerd update

Well this is lovely. Not only did i forget to do this today but its been 2 weeks since i did a blog and alot has happened. Even today alot of shit went down so here it all is.

Today I lost a friend but good riddance :D that idiot was nothing but a major pain in my ass and he lives in Denmark. For the past week I been helping him with his own php based cms but during the weekend not only did he make 2 different repo's that i didnt have access to with my code but he also deleted afew lines and modifed other lines to the point that what i did either didnt exist or didnt work the way i ment for them to. So that was the start of me getting pissed with him. MONDAY was my day off cuz it was canadian thanks giving. Did i get any kind of nerd break? NOOOOOOO! He wanted to install this facebook like chat but was having a hard time integrating it even though it says how to on its website. So i told him to put the code up and ill do it the next day. Well fuck me side ways afew hours later he said he was going to pay someone to do it for him. WELL FUCK ME UP THE MOTHER FUCKING ASS! So today i was still trying to not rage on him and he starts on me again today saying that i treat him like a pet and he was sick of it. Could the bullshit get any worst? Probably if i didnt block him after telling him a piece of my rage. For years this fucking idiot has treated me like a fucking pet and always undid all my work all because i did it better then him. I had afew people tell me that this danish guy is a idiot and now i fully agree with them. One person that said he is a idiot is my mother. She said that after i told her all what has happened. Gray, you are 100% right and im 1 million percent sorry.

So theres that!
Now for my past idea. Well that went to shit just like all my other ideas. Unix C Hosting fucked me for a dedicated server and now wont return my $100 CAD and theres no way for me to get it back or alert Paypal. So im pretty well fucked for that money till my next pay at the end of this month. But Unix C aint the first to fuck me over but i hope they are the last cuz im tired of dishin out money and not get the proper service with no refund.
As for Vampire City the game. I still really much want to do it and been meshing and texturing like crazy using Littlefield Grid as my test engine to go over each mesh. The only problem im having right now is settling on a game engine / editor to use. I got unity installed but its so very limited and really shitty. Also its from Denmark and well, thanks to the idiot that i raged about above, i kinda dont want to deal with anything denmark related right now. Cry Engine is awesome but again limited with the free version in the way that all test players need to be registered on the crydev.net website. UDK keeps crashing for me whenever i work with the assets so ill wait till UDK 4 is out before i try that again.

As for OpenSim related work. Met a really nice and awesome person named Artemis Tesla on the Littlefield grid that has been helping me alot with scripts and got a cool telepad working with more on the way, radio is actually done to so that also will be released once i get a store.
As for my sims. 5 sims in total are planned. Dev Island and Vampire City are already up, im just redoing VC as a shopping sim. Other 3 will hopefully be a race track, friendly pvp, probably just lazer tag. and still thinking of the third one.

So if you all want to come see what i been doing stop by the Littlefield grid, Vampire City sim.
lfgrid.com:8002:Vampire City
My name on that grid is Christina Vortex.

Thanks for reading this and hope to see you in world soon.

P.S. At the end of this month i will hand over all my L$ to one of the LFG admins that is still some what active in SL then going to clean out my inv, and do something funny right before i delete my SL account so stay tuned for pics for that :D

Later!

Game Conventions for November 2013

(two blogs in one hour :D)

Starting November 2 2013 to November 10 2013 (not including the weekdays) 2 big time gaming conventions will begin both in the United States of America.

First up... Nov 2nd and 3rd.
MINECON!
Held at the Orlando Convention Center in Orlando Florida. I just looked on google maps of the place and its HUGE!!!!!! Go to maps.google.com zoom into Orlando Florida and then search for International Drive. If his holiness Notch reserve the whole place then it for sure will fix triple the amount of people that showed up for the last minecon. I just hope they did what they did the last time and broadcast the whole event for free over a live stream for those who couldn't go. If they do i for sure will be watching while mining for diamonds like i did last year.

Second up and last convention.... Nov 9 and 10.
BLIZZCON!!!!!!
Held at the usual Anaheim California convention center. As usual Blizz will spill the beans on the next expansion. This time in hopes of getting back all the subscribers that have been leaving since Cataclysm. The convention was skipped last year so they can focus on finishing Mist of Pandaria so it wouldn't be such a shitty release. NEWS FLASH! You can't undo your fuck up by releasing another XPack. Only way to undo Cataclysm is by deleting that shit as a expansion. Anyways unlike Minecon, the live stream will not be free so I wont be able to watch it. So F U Blizzard and F WoW. Ok this was more of a rant of how shitty WoW has become.

Well regardless of how much i now hate WoW I am actually looking forward to Minecon live and Blizzcon to pop up on YouTube days later and will do a blog after about both conventions of what i thought about them.

Now if you could excuse me, i really must find some diamonds for a crafting table.

RIP SL

As most users know, Linden Labs "revised" their Terms of Service again. No surprise there. Also no surprise again they fuck up and pissed off their residence AGAIN!
However this time i think they went way to far. Not sure exactly what the TOS says this time but from what i read on Hypergrid Business website they made it so Linden Labs can do whatever they want with the content uploaded to Second Life without prior permission by the owner of that content. Now some people in SL may find this alright but others like me think that LL has gone way to far now.
We content creators like to create stuff for people to enjoy and possibly make money off of it. For LL to just come in and take whatever they want to do with whatever they want is totally wrong and i'm pretty sure violates afew IP rights. They say they will still respect IP rights so if they do respect and honor that then why the F for the change? Could of left the ToS the way it was. This change from my understanding not only violates IP rights but makes me personally feel like im creating stuff for LL for free and thats not right. Yea i create stuff for free on LFGrid for others to use and enjoy but LL has become a big name company with loads of money to give to creators so why this change and why am i pissed (dear ADHD, piss off)? its because with this change gives LL the right to basicly steal anything they want to use in advertisements and other ways without asking for permission by the creator or give the creator any money for it. Before the change LL could of still used other peoples works for advertisement but would have to either ask for permission or buy the item(s) from the creator.
But chris why would you give a shit about SL, your hiding on the Littlefield Grid again.
I give a shit for those who are about to be screwed over again by Linden Labs and therefore am still boycotting SL and encourage others to join with me.
If anyone of you are thinking of leaving SL and wondering about OpenSim. Its a great, better, cheaper life. And bigger. Their are way more opensim grids with lots more sims with cheap sim rental compared to SL. The total amount of sims and people throughout the opensim community is way bigger now then SL. Why? Because people like me have had enough of SL and are leaving for a better virtual life.
So join me in boycotting Second Life and Linden Labs. If you care to actually join me on a OS grid, join or hyper jump over to lfgrid.com:8002 and ask or look for Christina Vortex.
Please let me know you like to also boycott SL, if there are enough people i may make a group on LFG and OSG called "Boycotting SL"

So Rest In Peace Second Life. You where great back 10 years ago BEFORE your owner(s) became obsessed with greed.
