Niju didn’t ride the reindeer at Turing Isle II for long, his mother always told him that it was bad manners to play with his food. (-:
Shadowed
Yayyyyy! My tail has got a shadow.
Do I sound like something from a bad secret agent story.

UPDATE: Following the receipt of over 3001 e-cards requesting information on how you get shadows in the SL Viewer, this is how we did it:
- Enable the Devlop Menu (Ctrl+Alt+Q)
- Open the Rendering sub menu. (It might be best to click on the tramlines at the top of the Rendering sub menu as it pops out. This tears it off and makes it stay on the screen so that you can choose several options from it without having to reopen it all the time.)
- Click on Framebuffer Objects
- The Lighting and Shadows options should now become available, so click on that and then click on
Shadows from Sun/Moon/Projectors
SSAO and Shadow Smoothing
Some things to bear in mind:
This doesn’t work on all machines but I don’t know why. You’ll have to do some googling to look for other solutions.
This takes up a lot more resources than normal SL viewing. It might make your shoulder pet walk verrrry slooooowlllllyyyy or it might prevent your tail from twitching.
If your machine is finding it is hard work to render the shadows, it might crash when you take a photo, which is a bit sad because the shadows look great in photos.
If you need to do this in Imprudence, you can find it in the Advanced Tab of the Preferences Menu. There is a check box for Enable Shadows.
The Russians Are Coming!
Actually, from the way he was driving all over the road, I’d say he was probably from Spain. Anyone know how to say “больше водки товарищ?” in Spanish?

Penguin Party
Kallys and Blu made a winter area for Kallys’ penguins and they got them an Igloo from the Vavoom! store…
They all went in and had a big old party.
Later it turned into a slumber party when they all got tired and fell asleep.
House Warming
Blu and me and Logan were invited to a house warming party given by Daphnard who just came to live on Turing Breezes.
We had Gateaux. Yummy…
…and Champers (-:

The Wood Choppers’ BallS
Logan and Dad made this (with supervision from me).
This is the extract from Logan’s web site:
Right click on the logs and choose “Chopâ€. You loosen up your limbs and ease the crick in your neck, you step forward and take the axe from the stump. A moment or two as you gauge the weight of the axe and you take your first swing. There is a satisfying sound as the axe bites into the stump. You lift the axe and swing again. This time the sound is louder, the axe bites deeper into the log, but you have to put all your weight into to it pull it back out. You swing a third time and this time your efforts are rewarded with a very satisfying crunch and a flurry or wood chips as the log splits and falls away. You step over to the log pile and lift another…
Cayce
After the Catastrophic Failure reported in my previous post, I decided that Logan should have a new computer. The computer arrived a day late, but we figured that there was not much complaining to be done when the delivery was free and it was almost Christmas and the delivery bloke almost lunched his van that same morning on his way to work to collect our PC and deliver it.
Meet Cayce.
The first person to tell me why we named the computer Cayce (and the correct pronunciation) wins a dinner date with yours truly at Rhingstingahs later this week. Answers in the comments please (-:
