I'm so proud of my wife!

Posted on: December 23, 2006

I don't have a better title — what you see is the first, purest way to put what came to mind. Yesterday, Ravenelle got started on her Flickr account, uploading her 1,000+ pictures, most of 'em from within her Second Life inventory.

It wasn't so simple as clicking a button, because if you've been here, you know: textures & photos need to laboriously be exported one at a time in TGA format. Double-click one so it gets frontmost attention, then File menu > Save Texture As. (This'll only work if it's fully-permissive.)

Before I go off on a technical tangent, I do have quite an eye-in-hand for detail: I observed how Ravie had already gotten started with sets, tags, and even filled out her profile. (Apparently, she's Female and Taken, which doesn't surprise me, but I wasn't previously aware she was 106. Yes, she is that grown-up.)

Today, I encouraged her to give fd's Flickr Toys a go. Here's some of what she's got already — and I dig the saturated, thumbnail goodness:

 

Natch, I have my own too! The Santa hat works perfect on mine, and I swear I'm staring over into her selection.

I gave Ravie some tips on how to crosspost to Flickr via SL postcards, something which I'm a sheer enthusiast of. She's quite the artist; I'm looking forward to her continued contributions!

On the Flickr Second Life group — which I highly suggest you join if you're into both SL and Flickr — we're now the #1 and #2 contributing members, which doesn't necessarily mean anything in itself, but it's just always nice to be next to her. <3

    It feels nice to share my pictures, and moving forward I hope I can learn to submit them to the sites like you do but it sounds confusing. Baby steps here… Also I've vowed that from now on I will name snapshots, and I will put them in some sort of meaningful order so I can retrieve them without so much pain. The majority of my snapshots were indeed named snapshot.

    I would want to recall a snapshot sometimes and I would go off the few in the folder that were named and guess how far back or ahead the one I was digging for might be,,then just start clicking one by one. This new way is going to make me so much more efficient, saving me oodles of time to do much more fun things…like spending time with you, absolutely my favorite thing to do.

    Who's the luckiest woman in the entire universe? Yes that's me = D Thanks love
