"Property"

I'm still thinking about this weird animalnapping thing. I had spent about half an hour (all I had available) reading over the Second Life Forums, yesterday, wondering if someone had written about their experiences with the DMCA-infringement action...but I didn't find anything. (I thought I checked all the logical places for such threads, but maybe not.)

I should mention that none of the objects in question contain any scripts....and my understanding of the Wednesday action was that it was specifically about people stealing other people's scripts.

By the way, when I logged in last night, I was particularly interested to see if my neighbor's scripted cat would be in its usual place, pacing back and forth under a tree at the edge of the property. It WAS gone when I logged in. BUT, it was back by the time I logged off.

Weird. I'm not really thinking of all this as "My Property", so I'm not outraged by the 'violation', as much as puzzled by the mystery. Will I ever find out what really happened???

Anyway, I had fun working on making some rugs. I tried using the Hair Textures in the Library as an underlayer, to look like fringe on the rugs. It actually does look like fringe; the trouble is that the hair rezzes on a sort of 'plate of glass' (or at least that's what it looks like). And though I played around with various settings, I didn't succeed in getting rid of the 'pane of glass'.

So I'm still looking for a better thing to use for rug-fringe.

I notice that I'm dreaming about the Edit box almost every night. I tend to remember a lot of my dreams, most nights (or at least when I don't have to wake to an alarm clock), and it's quite common for things (or people) I've dealt with on any particular day to feature in the dreams. But the Edit box is becoming quite a star....I seem to do a lot of considering what Edit Box Settings are needed for all the various activities I participate in, while dreaming.

(And certainly there are many things in Real Life that could use a bit of shrinking or stretching or being made Transparent or Phantom...... ^_^ )
