I am now an estate manager for one…and soon to be more…estate. My role is to setup the  estate for land rentals and smooth-out the estate’s day to day operations.

The estate already has guests (tennants) and since I don’t own the sim, doing things like moving parcels of land around, setting up a rental system, and other ‘basic’ activities takes on a whole new meaning since I cannot do the work myself (the rental system belongs to the estate’s owner and only the estate owner can create new plots of land or reclaim them).

Intersting work that makes a difference to someone’s SL, great estate owner, and nice guests…what a great combination!

Although busy in my real life (RL), when I am in SL I am making things.

SL, to me, is a series of patterns which are expressed in different ways: prims, animations, scripts, sounds, etc. Since there are, fundamentally, a limited set of operations you can perform on a given type (prim, animation, etc), that makes it easier to figure out what something does or how it has been created.

I was taking a break at work and was browsing some SL-related sites. I saw a build I really liked and was able to recreate it just by looking at a few snapshots. I seem to be able to do that a lot these days, which has resulted in a suge in the number of things in my inventory (close to 21,000 items now).

So, as I build, I also try to find things that may be of interest to others and set them out for sale.

On the developer side of things, I am getting a number of requests for quotes - buildings, scripts, you name it. There are some very interesting ideas floating around among prospective customers.
