Royal Caledon Air Force News for November 13th

Recently, I gave RCAF Wing Commander Phineas Messmer authority to build a fleet of rockets for the Air Force. I've also given him permission to create a new organisation dedicated to the exploration of aether-space.

Our first mission will be a Journey to the Moon with a safe return to Caledon.

We intend to open diplomatic and trade relations with the Lunarians of the Moon before Antiquity and New Babbage make their first contact.

Professor Messmer will create a unique program replete with rocket pilot training that will give these special flyers the skills they need for a challenging and adventurous Moon-Flight.

Below are photographs of my tour and inspection of Professor Messmer's Rocket Production Facility in Caledon Penzance.

No these are not giant pencils!

The Diverse Adventures of Mr G. Abel: Prologue to Adventure!:

"My story begins in the bustling town of Tombstone, Arizona. I had returned here, as I often do, to manage certain investments and examine the growth of the town, which is ever-changing and improving upon itself. Not that it is a peaceful or relaxing place; rather, it can be boisterous and murderous if one is thrust into the typical situations of mis-communication that tends to leave slow-to-act strangers either dangling from a rope or staining the street with some bodily fluid or another, too often blood-red, through some misfortune of step or speech. Therefore have I sought a haven from violence here, and found it the reading rooms of the charming and well-armed Miss Connolly, also of Regency, Caledon..."

Sorry, I need to shamelessly self-promote here a bit...

New blog caters to 19th century enthusiasts

Spinning plates while balancing on a fence...

I try to balance RL, SL, and my blogs that cover SL. This kind of multi-tasking is taking a toll on my health, so I'm taking steps to find more balance in my life.

Part of the day Saturday and all day Sunday is devoted to SL. I'm inworld most of the time - internet connectivity permitting of course.

My blogs have evolved since I started SL blogging in March 2007. My focus now is the 19th Century world within our virtual world of SL. I cannot cover everything in SL, nor would I want to. My focus will be on the Victorian era steampunk and Wild West sims, almost exclusively. Two of my blogs no longer exist, so please update your links if you haven't noticed yet - Second Life Events and ZoeCorp ZabrinaWorks are deleted.

In addition, I'll be working on my Second Life BloggerCon 2008 event. I'll need one or two people to become co-owner(s) of my Second Life Bloggers group and assist with day-to-day maintenance and operations so that I may devote more time to other projects.

I'll have details on the SL Bloggers Logo Contest in a post this Saturday. The winner of the contest will receive 5000 linden dollars.

That's all for now, xoxox

Two New Blogs in the works....

SL BloggerCon 2008 will cover news about our proposed convention for Second Life Bloggers. BloggerCon is tentatively scheduled for late February 2008.

After consultation with Caledon Librarian JJ Drinkwater, I've started The Connolly Telegraph. This new blog will cover news on the 19th Century sims of Second Life. This includes Caledon, New Babbage, Steelhead City, Tombstone (both sims), Yankton, Deadwood, and many more. The vision for this blog is to unite the 19th Century citizens while still retaining the unique character and atmosphere of the individual sims.

I've only set up the URLs for now. Content will come later as I get things settled.

By the way, Blogger now offers their own polls. I'll be trying this little widget soon.

The Tombstone Sun-Review: Apache Chief Dagger Barbosa and his tribe

The Tombstone Sun-Review: Apache Chief Dagger Barbosa and his tribe:

"On July 12th, I met with Apache Chief Dagger Barbosa, Medicine Woman Adelita Hera, and tribal warrior mAdan Payne. They were very cordial and welcomed me with open arms, even though at times it seemed there was tension. I am after all a white woman protecting my town, and they see Tombstone and the local government as a threat to their existence. Tensions are natural in these circumstances. How we can ever over come our prejudices I do not know, and this article and writer won't pretend to know the answer..."

Calamity Z

>>><<>><<<

This here's the story of Calamity Z.

I'z tahrd one mornin' after a night in them steampunk sims. Plum tuckered out from all that dancin'. I recollecked readin' one o' them fancy Caledon blogs 'bout some Tombstone Arizona sim and reckon'd I'd drop by fer a spell.

So I mosied yonder and ended up gettin' all gussied up in a fancy new HUD gizmo fer muh 6 shooter. I crossed the border into the town and some nice lookin' feller offered to show me 'round. Took me dancin' a bit. Even tho ah's tahr'd from previous, ah's flattered as all git out. So we line danced and had ourselves a few swigs a Jack Daniels. We parted compny all sweet and friendly-like and I went back to muh Victorian and modern ways, talkin' all good 'n' ladylike.

I got back with muh horse Laggalot and muh new guns and such. Spent a few more hours gettin' tuh know the folk. Sure there's a few scoundrels lurkin' about, nothing a frontier Irish girl like me cain't hannle. One feller accused me of stealin' his horse, but the sheriff set 'em straight. Turns out he was innersted to yak at a lady. I told the sheriff, the feller's lucky I didn't put a bullet in 'is head, the damn lyin' fool...Cuz I pert near did it!

Met a few good folk too, and have a particular mind tuh stay fer a spell. A soldier even made me a lady scout in the US ARMY CAV protectin' the town from rebs, injuns and suchlike. Reckon I'm thar fer good now, switchin' from all that fancy britches Caledon/Babbage jawwin' to this unlady-like yakkin' I do in Arizona. (spits).

Not sure they unnerstand whut it means tuh have Calamity Z 'round thar town, tho.

Now y'all readin' this....don't go tellin 'em what trouble I am, cuz I'm fixin' to go back soon and I might even change muh ways if the good lord's willin'. I'll be okay long as I don't drink too much Whisky, y'hear? (hiccups and throws empty bottle away).
