Seven years in Tibet. I mean SL.

Posted: 23rd August 2010 by Cubey in Meta, SL

Maybe this is a little early, I don’t know, but each year around the start of September, I like to mark the anniversary of my initiation into Second Life with a little retrospective of my years in the metaverse. Sometime in the next couple of weeks (I can’t remember the specific date), my account turns [...]

Work in progress

Posted: 27th April 2010 by Cubey in Meta

Since Blogger has announced that it will no longer support FTP after May 1st, I have decided to migrate my over 1,000 blog posts to Wordpress. During this transition, some links will change or go missing at least temporarily. Please bear with me as I figure out this newfangled gadget.
Thanks!

Are you Internet famous?

Posted: 25th July 2008 by Cubey Terra in Meta, RL

Wired.com has created the (mostly pointless) “Celebrity Meter” to gauge just how Internet famous you are based on links and Google score.
<br />Your browser doesn’t support HTML iframes. You will not be able to see the Wired Celebrity Meter. Please try with a different browser.<br />
I scored a measily 7… whatever that means. Anyway, I [...]

Today’s quote!

panthar: I love when blogsandthings take little quotes out of context.

No more of those pesky colours

Posted: 2nd April 2007 by Cubey in Meta

As you can see, I’m trying out a new look. This happens from time to time — I get bored and look around for something that I can rip apart and redo needlessly. Take Abbotts Aerodrome, for example. I’ve torn it down and rebuilt it about twice a year, on average. Sometimes I just feel [...]

Three years in the metaverse

Posted: 7th September 2006 by Cubey in Meta, News, SL

Three years ago this week, I logged into Second Life for the first time. Ordinarily, I’d write something humorous yet poignant, and of a reasonable length, but today I don’t feel equal to the task. So this is a placeholder for whatever occurs to me later on.

What I do during SL downtimes

Posted: 12th July 2006 by Cubey in Meta, RL, SL

It’s Wednesday, folks, which means that Second Life is down for the latest update. SL addicts the world over, shaking from withdrawal symptoms, turn to other activies, like sparring in the forums, or trading silly links in IRC. You might ask, What does Cubey do during SL downtimes? Well… I’ll tell you…
I start my day [...]

Mmm… mashed blogs

Posted: 9th July 2006 by Cubey in Meta

A sharp-eye reader will notice the sudden appearance at the side of this blog of several new archive links, which date back to 2002. That’s because today I took my CubeyTerra.com blog and mashed it together with my larger, but defunct blog, “Cubicle Dweller”.
Cubicle Dweller was a blog that I wrote from the perspective [...]

Shutting down

Posted: 28th December 2005 by Cubey in Meta

It’s been so long since I wrote here regularly, that I think it’s time for me to shut it down. I’ve cancelled my account with my hosting service, so it’s only a matter of time until you’ll see not this page, but a default domain parking page.
I still have my Second Life blog at www.CubeyTerra.com, [...]

Lunch break blogging

Posted: 26th November 2004 by Cubey in Meta, Mmm... food, RL

It was my lunch break. I opened Blogger. I stared at the vacant text box and thought about what to type in it. I stared longer. The box failed to fill with words. No matter how hard I stared at it, no words appeared.
Fifteen minutes later, my lunch break was over, and I closed Blogger. [...]
