Back in December 2006, Los Arboles was born in the metaverse of Second Life. For the last three years, it has been my home and work place. Many of my friends do not understand the connection one can create in virtual worlds, so this might not seem like a big thing. For those that do understand, they will be able to relate to my heavy heart as I left it today.
There are so many memories, many of which have been documented in this blog, that trying to recall them would take way to much time. — And since I am suppose to be “looking” for work, I do not have the time right now. — But for all of my family, friends and colleagues that ever stop by Los Arboles, I just want to say thank you.
The happy news is that Los Arboles will remain in Second Life. Crap Mariner will be taking over the monthly fees and working his residential magic. Anyone want a cool place to live?
Mad Tea Party – Los Arboles, Second Life – March 19, 2007
With the knowledge that Los Arboles will remain, it was a little easier to say good bye. I have been asked if I will ever get another sim in Second Life and my answer currently is that I do not know. I do know that open source sims seem to be where I am heading, but that still is some months off I believe.
Los Arboles, September 2008
Los Arboles, May 2009
Back when I was working on the route for the tourboat, I was having the hardest time coming up with a route.
Edloe’s just a tangled mess of canals… felt like I was a drunk spider on the paper.
Blakslee… um… those chickens are SOOOOO laggy.
But with Los Arboles, you had made so many places that shone with creativity and activity… the birds… the sculptures… the buildings… well, it was so hard to pick just one route to pass through it all and not miss something amazing.
So many memories, so many good times.
Already missed.
And rest assured, I have absolutely no plans on letting Radar Masukami create Los Underweardrawer there, a 15,000 prim monument to his neurosis over people rifling through his “private” things.
