My land in Antiquity Cove

This will illustrate the placement of the major buildings. My cottage on the left, lighthouse tower in the middle, and office building to the right. The office is HQ for The Connolly Telegraph , the Second Life Bloggers group, and the Steampunk Ladies Spy League. You can also see an example of the Yacht I recently purchased (thanks to dinee and DesertWolf for helping me choose). The one near my lighthouse belongs to the Grand Duke of Antiquity but I do have one of my own for meetings and small parties. One thing about the cottage...it may change if I can get the same one I had last spring/summer. I'm still working on obtaining a copy. Next step.....decorating!

Just got mentioned on Boxxet...

for my brief post about the Battlestar Galactica sim BSG47 Battlestar Pacifica...

Miss South Carolina (wtf?)

A gentle reminder of why SL is better than RL.

Hey, why not post your own YouTube examples of why SL is better than RL? Send me the link if you do!

Girls with Guns :: The Steampunk Version Part 3

Countess Zoe

I'm very pleased to announce my new position in the Antiquity Nobility...

As of today, and in recognition of several contributions to neo-Victorian society, I am now Countess Zoe Connolly of Antiquity and will be working closely with the nobility on many projects.

A few updates today on The Connolly Telegraph...

The Connolly Telegraph

Headquartered on Miss Zoe Connolly's Estate in Antiquity Cove, The Connolly Telegraph showcases the 19th Century sims of Second Life... Caledon, New Babbage, Steelhead City, Antiquity, the Tombstone sims, Yankton, Deadwood, and many more. Our vision is to unite the 19th Century SL citizens while still retaining the unique character and atmosphere of these varied and fascinating places.

BSG47 - Battlestar Pacifica

For months I've been privy to information about an upcoming BSG roleplay sim on the horizon.

When I was starting The Connolly Telegraph , buying and arranging my Victorian Steampunk lands in Antiquity and Caledon, as well as my work on a few other Second Life projects... I lost track of the opening of BSG47, but earlier today (before SL downtime maintenance), I proudly wore my uniform and explored the Battlestar Pacifica for the first time.

BSG47 - Battlestar Pacifica is a roleplay sim based on the re-imagined TV series Battlestar Galactica from the Sci-Fi Channel. The timeline is parallel to Galactica and Pegasus and appears to be a very interesting build.

I think this is something Zabrina will love *winks*

SLBloggers Party - First Reactions

August Blog Party « Just me, dinee

tiana creations: blogger party 19/8/2007

I would say this Second Life Bloggers party was a smashing success! Thanks again to JellyBean and Hawks for hosting the latest in our party series. You've raised the bar for all of us *gulp* (thinks of how she's going to pull-off a great party in December)

Now it's time to think of a few themes for our September Party.

Girls with Guns :: The Steampunk Version Part 2

I have lived in the Victorian Steampunk world for some time now. First in New Babbage, and most recently in Antiquity and Caledon. I've grown a deep affection for my homelands and the citizenry.

So it was with deep sadness I read of the recent trouble Caledon was experiencing with Vulgaria.

Vulgaria...the very name tastes sour as I say it aloud in my study.

Previously, I had been in contact with Eladrienne Laval on the subject of creating a League of like-minded Victorian Ladies who would be ready at a moments notice to protect our lands using various covert surveillance and actions.

After hearing the news out of Loch Avie, I went forward with founding this unique group ahead of projected timetables and as yet I am short staffed. I shall require several undaunted ladies who do not shy from the use of weapons or in service to Caledon, Antiquity, and New Babbage.

I present....The Steampunk Ladies Spy League (SLSL) in service to the Victorian Steampunk regions. As Spy Mistress of this organization I offer the services of The SLSL to Caledon in this hour of need.

Ladies....I implore you....there can be no substitute for a Caledon victory over Vulgaria.

» What’s in your name? M is for Myg

Myg had a great post where she asks "What’s in your name?"

Good question.

Okay, here goes...

"Zoe Connolly"

Hmmm, why did I choose this name way back on January 21, 2007 (That's a rezday party hint by the way. And we soooo need a Rezday Party Planning Committee in the SL Bloggers Group)

Anywho...

1st: I wanted a name with an exotic letter like Q, X, or Z. I chose Z for a few reasons. First off, I love the "Z" sound. Even if having a Z name gets you on the bottom of all "Friends Lists", Z names are cool.

2nd: The name "Zoe" is Greek in origin and means "life" and this is Second Life....so....there ya go!

3rd: I love the word Zoetrope, which in the SL context seems to fit well...A zoetrope is a Victorian Era device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures. If I could do it over again my name would be Zoetrope Connolly. Much more unique and quite fitting as a name for an avatar in the Victorian sims.

4th: Nearly every woman I've met in RL named Zoe was attractive, dynamic, unique, exotic, and intelligent. And at least in small part....eccentric. But in the interest of full disclosure...I *did* find this...."The real name meaning for - Zoe - Talentless chick. Prepared to use sex as a weapon." Heh! Yes there's anti-Zoe bigotry out there.

Now, about my last name....

I wanted a last name that reflects my RL English, Irish, and Scot ancestry. I can't recall the other choices, but the name Connolly seemed to fit well with Zoe.

Here are a few quotes from a famous Connolly...

Idleness is only a coarse name for my infinite capacity for living in the present.
Cyril Connolly

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
Cyril Connolly

Always be nice to those younger than you, because they are the ones who will be writing about you.
Cyril Connolly

So there you have it, ladies and gentleman. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
