Now, there was a small article from Thaumata Strangelove, about her being offline in Second life, when she is in fact online.;))
Do you have sometimes the urge to disregard your IM's, but you don't want to be rude to your correspondent? Well here is your answer.
- First, you edit preferences and change your busy message to Second Life: User not online - message will be stored and delivered later.
- Then, just kick on busy mode and uncheck that person from your communications list. If they send you an IM, you will still see it, but they will get the message that says you're offline.
I hope that you won't use this method a lot, and in this way, I should perhaps be glad that my blog is not the most viewed one, because.....can you imagine if everyone will use this trick?
Thaumata even says she uses this a lot, and that is a quite frightening thing to do, but sometimes necessary, I presume.
Hilariously, a side effect of this is that she somehow managed to get an email which states that she sent herself an offline message which states that she is offline. It's like some kind of weird SL fractal. Neat.
