Made in the OLG upload


I hadn't planned to continue this blog, but something happened today that seemed to belong here -- and so the saga continues.

I've been gone from Openlife for awhile now. First in spirit and then in practice. Too many dramas, too much back stabbing. The fun had left the building. I am hoping it will return. But whether it does or it doesn't --- today was special for me.

Here's the skinny. Currency is "almost" a part of Openlife. The mechanics are in place, but no one can buy credits yet. As I understand it, a few folks had a few credits each by mistake or who knows why. They pooled their Credits here and there to make up the 20 needed to upload. And my Made in the OLG logo "appears" to be the first paid for texture on the grid. Thanks to Digi who uploaded and Mac who let me know.

It really is very important to me. I've always believed in making it new, making it different. I've taken a lot of abuse for that. So, it's good to see that someone sometime may actually use the logo I made. More importantly, they may actually believe that making goods from scratch are better than bringing in old stuff from another grid (wink).

So that's a little bit of history I thought should be accounted for.
