Erika Drake searches for Dr Zoetrope Dreamscape

Fanshaw & Connolly

My good friend Mr Cornelius Fanshaw and I decided to start another little adventure series in Second Life.

You may consider it... a sort-of...hmmm, well it's a Victorian version of The Avengers. Like our TimeForce 10 Adventure Series, Fanshaw and Connolly is a mashup of several different television shows such as The Avengers and Wild Wild West with a healthy dollop of Sherlock Holmes.

Cornelius put together a great set for a few of our SL Group Photos. As you can see from my examples, the major influence is The Avengers. I've included two YouTube Videos for reference.

Fanshaw and Connolly is a New Babbage firm established to conduct unusual inquiries and investigations for a variety of clients. I'm sure there will be many crossover adventures with TimeForce 10 and the Royal Caledon Air Force.

Re-organization

My time inworld and offGrid is as valuable as prim in SecondLife®

Lately I've been reorganizing my virtual worlds. Evaluating my time-management, my rights to various land-parcels, land usage, etc...

Everything is in flux at the moment.

Yes, even in the metaverse there is such a thing as spring-cleaning....

"....In a comment to Rudolfo Woodget's post, I wrote:

"I'll give 5 or 6 cheers for Mama Cree! I'm having so much fun I'm rethinking some of my land-rights choices on other sims. I may scale back here and there to free up dollars for more land-rights in future Taloo sims.

That says an awful lot for this steampunk girl."

Prim Perfect to launch new magazine! « Prim Perfect

Prim Perfect to launch new magazine! « Prim Perfect

".....Prim Perfect will be a year old in May. During the last ten months, we’ve grown from 0 to 10,000 readers, and we’ve launched a TV show - Meta Makeover. Now we’re ready for our next big venture - a new magazine!

In collaboration with the Connolly Telegraph, we will shortly be launching a wholly new magazine with a very special twist.

This is one catering for the large number of people in Second Life who are interested and involved in the steampunk and historical recreation sims covering a period between 1740 and 1920 (that is, roughly speaking, the period covered by sims from Versailles to New Toulouse). It will be centred on the Independent State of Caledon, but it is hoped that all the other period sims will become involved and play a part too.

It will draw on the existing strengths of its partner founders; the news gathering skills and content experience of the Telegraph, and the design, production and features writing of Prim Perfect....."

Visit Second Life Bloggers


One of the best social networking forums I've encountered is Ning.com.

Winterfell was the first community I knew of to use it. When Carricre Wind asked me about blogs and forums to use for her New Toulouse sim, I recommended she also use Ning.com. Then I started using it for the Royal Caledon Air Force and later, Rafael Fabre created a network for New Babbage.

I've found it to be a great tool and one you can easily navigate within various Ning.com networks.

Tour of Connolly Air Station

Connolly Air Station

Progress continues on Connolly Air Station in Port Babbage thanks to the engineers at Edison Corporation.

Middlesea Fleet Captain OToole visits Babbage Air Station

While on a regular inspection of my new Babbage Air Station in Port Babbage, I had the pleasure of a visit from Post Captain Hotspur Otoole of the Middlesea Fleet. We exchanged greetings and chatted about weapons systems, ship christenings and such.

Due to the sensitive nature of our conversations about new weaponry I cannot reveal more and a film of a new vessel is now considered classified TOP SECRET.

Babbage Air Station

Mr Syxx Craig of the Edison Corporation goes to task quickly. Within minutes I see the Babbage Air Station Hanger take shape - with appropriate textures added soon after.

Well done Mr. Craig. Mayor Sprocket gave me a quick nod in approval of the project.

Manifest Destiny

My land holdings grow once again!

My very first Victorian Steampunk lot was a rental flat in Babbage Canals in New Babbage. I've rented that space since May or June 2007 and have always searched for a suitable lot for a project.

Here are a few photographs of my new 2048 parcel in Port Babbage. I've commissioned the fine talents of Mr. Syxx Craig of the Edison Corporation to build a suitable structure worthy of the surrounding area.

Special thanks to the former Majestic Navy of New Babbage and Admiral Titanas Vella. This is the site of the old Admiralty House. The parcel will now be known as Babbage Air Station where Mr Craig was last seen busily building a hanger structure.

Flight over New Babbage

My first flight over New Babbage using RCAF Group Captain August Breed's Bleriot monoplane....



Flight controls were a bit sticky at first due to the cold weather, but I was able to fly over all four New Babbage sims....Babbage Square, Babbage Canals, Port Babbage and Vernian Sea.
