Okay so I decided to go for a bit of different look with my hair. Going back through my inventory I found a short hair cut that I hardly ever used and decided to give the short look a try. So what do you all think? Is short hair me? I kinda like it and will give it a try for a while. May drop by Analog Dog Island to see what short hair styles they have.
There are now Communities on Google +. Not sure how well this will all work out but I'm willing to give a few a try (getting my K-pop and J-pop fix has never been easier). Of course somebody has set one up for Second Life on there. So if you are on the plus come on by and check it out.
Well it looks like my wonderful new admirer really can't get enough of me. He decided to go ahead and send me another message in Second Life again today.
Please notice that I haven't responded inworld to his last message. Which means he is thoughtful enough to read my blog! Thank you for the traffic zerosumorez, now the 90's called for you... they want their sad hacker name back. Never was a cutter though nor have I, unlike you, suggested suicide for others. So, really, is this the best you can do? If you want me to post about you again you are really going to have to step up your game a bit. Just reading what your message made me yawn.
Over on the Alphaville Herald I'll post every now and then. Especially in cases to aggravate somebody like GreenLanter Excelsior who deserves every bit. But I guess one of the JLU folks didn't like it to much and had to jump on one of their spy alts and message me some hate.
So zerosumorez resident decided to send me some hate. Which one of the JLU are you really? Or are you just somebody who thinks they are being especially witty? Anyway about all it accomplishes is giving me something to write about on here. Oh and it's not a 'brony' pic. It's a 'My Little Pony' pic (which my daughter really loves to watch) that I found amusing. At least I am capable of enough thought to actually fill out my profile. I'm sorry and pathetic? Yeah you logged into second life onto what is obviously and alt account because you don't have the actual intestinal fortitude to say that with your main avi. That is sorry and pathetic. All the rest, well lets just say I've heard better insults when I was in grade school.
Well Mistress has decided that she needed a change of scenery again. That means a new house and fun things to look at. This time I think Her and sis did a little looking around and decided upon a nice little island beach string of sims. So we now have a beach front home, plenty of sand, sun and relaxing. Well as much relaxing as Mistress will allow of course.
What I like best is that it's not some skybox made to look like a beach, but we are at ground level with a LOT of water spreading over several sims. So of course, there in the background, you can see the masts of the several different boats our family has. Not to mention it gives me a chance to try out my scuba gear again.
Happiness!
Just received a griefing alert warning from my friend gabby Catlyn one of the managers over at the Big Bang Sex Park. Thought I would pass it along to you all.
"WARNING: If you receive an object called “[L4L]-Gestures & Walkers (Freebies) <3″, delete it at once. DO NOT Rez, or wear it! This object will rez replicating micro cubes in YOUR name filling up a sim, which could cause it to crash, inadvertently making YOU the villain and subject to banning, and/or an AR being filed. Those cubes then send the malicious freebie to other avatars in the immediate vicinity, making it a vicious cycle."
So not only does it risk crashing the sim, it does so in your name and tries to send out copies of itself. So please keep an eye out on this and pass along this information.
Every now and then I'll review a product, service or something along those lines. It's been quite a while since I've done that so I decided that it's high time that this blog saw another post like that. So without further delay let's talk about jeans. Larry's Jeans to be exact.
Here is the SLURL for their location.
I must say that these folks produce some of the best jeans that I've seen in Second Life. Seems to be a case of taking one concept and building your business around it as much as possible. Which of course allows you to get very good at that one thing instead of just okay at several things. With plenty of variety in styles to choose from along with multiple colors of each style you just can't go wrong shopping for you denim here.
It ranges from full good looking pairs to ripped, torn and dang near x-rated displaying versions to pick from. Along with some denim swimwear, shorts and a few odds and ends. Plenty to shop around on. Even I like the way they look on me, although I went with a properly covered up pair with a few tiny rips and worn places. But I did pick up their camouflage pack also which displays a bit more.
So please drop by their mainstore and take a look around. If you like the way jeans look then I'm sure you'll find a set to fit you. Oh and there are some mens versions also, didn't really look at those much so I can't comment on their quality.
Folks in the United States with me need to pay attention to this one.
The Senate is looking to pass a bill that will allow the feds access to your emails without a Judge issued search warrant or the probably cause needed to get that warrant. It is giving way to much power into the hands of law enforcement agencies, the same agencies that are already reaching outside of their power and abusing the public. This needs to be stopped and stopped now.
Please contact your senators and tell them that you don't want this bill to pass. You are against the idea of the search warrant being taken out of the steps necessary to bypass your rights. I have already contacted mine, I hope many others do as well. Please share this link and let everybody know what is going on.
Here is a LINK to an article about the bill. Give it a read.
I’m amazed at how stupid people are that they think Twinkies will be gone forever. Really are you all that dumb? It’s a brand, the creditors who now own Hostess will sell it and the recipe to the highest bidder and you will see Twinkies, along with almost all the other Hostress brands, on shelves again soon enough.
Guess some people can’t understand how capitalism works, branding works, or anything else they claim to support.
Just found out about this. I've been a bit busy offline and haven't been keeping up with other things in Second Life or just online in general.
Eku Zhong is having some pretty severe medical problems and could really use a bit of financial aid for specific stuff. Mainly, from what I've read, a replacement jawbone. There is an indiegogo page sat up for non-SL donations and there will be events inworld as well. I'm planning to at least make it to one and push some Lindens towards the cause.
Pass this information along and let other know. Here is the link to the fundraising project (known as 'Unhinged') main page. From there you can get more details.
Went inworld for a bit tonight just to trim up my over flowing landmarks folder. I've gathered quite the collection of them that's for sure. So starting off with some of the oldest I began taking a few fast tours. What I discovered was that I had quite a few that were to places that no longer existed. Shouldn't be surprised by this but I was.
So the trimming was made pretty easy at points. Teleport in and find myself standing next to a rental sign. Time to clip that one. Sometimes it led to new ones, the old place it went is gone but a new really nice looking store is in it's place. Other times it got a bit awkward, y'know when it's supposed to be a shoe store and you arrive and it's an interracial themed rape alley... that just happens to be busy at the exact time you arrive.
Also found a couple of stores that have been running 'going out of business everything 25L or less' sales for probably over a year now. Makes me wonder if they just abandoned the land but left everything there and the store is collecting money for... nobody.
So I managed to get through about forty landmarks. Got rid of over half of them easily. Now only a few hundred more to go....
Oh and all these places I visited. Still haven't ran into any place running that one system that is supposed to have me on their 'griefer' list. Imagine that.
JLU claims another victim... er I mean victory. Well they see victims as victories so it all works out. This time they are claiming to have been behind the deletion of a popular steampunk sim because they detected 'griefer alts' there. One of which belonging to a person who doesn't even log into SL anymore. So yes the delusion crew who see ghosts behind every prim are still in operation getting you banned for your protection.
Read the article on the Alphaville Herald
Why the hell does anybody trust this group of spandex clad sociopaths is beyond me.
Oh and please note they are also claiming to have detected these alts. Which means they must still be running some sort of alt detection system which is supposed to be against Linden Lab rules.
Hey look I'm still here.
Well it appears that Forceme Silverspar (love or hate her... personally I love her) has come across another sim where people are calling out alts and claiming to be logging IPs. You can find her blog article on it here:
Which means there is probably a new system out there to track alts. Also using such a thing at a BDSM sim is pretty low, like a honey trap waiting to happen. The BDSM community usually prides itself on giving people privacy and respect of others. Guess these people don't hold themselves up to those standards.
Yeah... looks like it may be time to brush the dust off the ole' GreenZone badge again.
You all may want to go read the latest post on Treminari's blog. It demonstrates on how Voodoo is collecting information on you without you hitting the 'accept' button. Just click on a sploder and you're in the system.
Add to this the mention on the SLU thread that one of the voodoo managers told somebody how many alts where connected to their IP and you get the idea. That of course goes against the claims that it collects and then dumps the info shortly there after. Monkey Wonder does seem to like to lie about what his product does.
A device that detects your brainwave patterns and determines what mood you are in. Then that mood is represented by the position of a pair of robotic cat ears! Oh I want! I want! I want!
Currently they are only available in Japan... which means they should be all over ebay for sale here in the states. So it's off to ebay I go.
Real life took some priority over the last few days and I haven't had much time to dedicate to a new post here. But now I've got a bit of time on my hands so here I go.
The other day Monkey Wonder posted something new on his blog about greenzone invading his JIRA he posted up.
You can see his post here.
One of the funnier comments he made is this: "Although the Second Life JIRA is a tool to be used strictly for reporting bugs and feature suggestions, the Green Zone members hijacked the JIRA to make personal attacks, insults and other unhelpful comments." It's funny because he is guilty of this himself on older JIRA's back when RedZone was still around and we were informing folks about that. I actually link to a bit of his attacks in one of my last few posts if you want to have a look. So he is telling us not to do what he does himself....
Anyways he also makes some screenshots (about time) of the attacks. First off the bottom one from somebody named 'orejo' isn't even a greenzone member. Two of the posts are from Re Sorbet who is one of the 'bots' that he 'caught' in his screenshot of greenzone griefer bots in one of his previous posts. Again I have a previous post all about that mess of a shot he put up. Cyborg Renfold is somebody he has been making accusations about but has never posted any sort of proof to back it. Last is RareDiamond String who I really don't know anything about.
So a GreenZone attack is now three people, none of them officers or moderators, bashing you on a JIRA? Really? How the hell is that an attack that represents a group. More delusions of importance on his part.
For the record I support the JIRA, I voted and watched it to show my support. If something is doing what he claims it is then it needs to be stopped. I completely agree. I also like the fact that the screenshot posted has absolutely nothing to do with GreenZone, the person who made the objects is not in the group and a few folks I have talked to have never even heard of him. So yes it shows that somebody may be using those devices as a form of DDOS attack coming from inside SL. If it's true then the Lab needs to drop a fix on it.
Another thing I have noticed a lot lately is a single URL
THIS ONE to be exact.
It has started to show up on a lot of peoples web tab of their profile. Mainly on folks who are opposed to Voodoo Sploders and Anti Bot system. It appears that it could be a rival sploder company doesn't it? So this has me thinking in another direction something that I will probably be bringing up to some of the mods of the group.
Is our group being used by some of the people behind tmyentertainment to go after Voodoo? Basically a small handful of people are joining the group flashing up the GZ title and then actually going and doing what he is saying? Something to think about.
North Carolina has just took a step backwards in human rights. Remember this is one of the states where it is legal to marry your first cousin. Amazing how willing people are to hurt others and deny them rights they deserve all in the name of some bullshit religion. Most of them have probably never read the so called 'good book' or realize some of the rules it says should be enforced. All that stuff they say is bad out of the Muslim religions.... yeah most of those rules are in their book as well.
Also as a side note. On Monkey Wonders vudu.sl site he says he supports anonymous yet he has also claimed to support the JLU in SL who in turn support the government crackdowns on anonymous. Hypocrite much?
One of the many claims that Monkey Wonder loves to make is about people 'forcing' their way into his Voodoo Anti Bot group. He uses that word 'forced' like it actually has some meaning here where it does not. The Voodoo Anti Bot group is an open enrollment group (just like Green Zone) and anybody is able to join it at the simple press of a button. So all he is doing here is trying to make it look somebody is doing some underhanded trick to get into that group when they are not. Also, just like Green Zone, he has no control over who signs up or the ability to keep people out if they've been kicked out before. Just a simple look through some of the profiles of members and you can see a few that look like obvious bots themselves. So much for an anti bot group.
As I mentioned in a previous post one of the bots he called a 'green zone bot' was actually in his own voodoo anti bot group. Again, like I just said, so much for an anti bot group.
Monkey Wonder continues his usual attacks on GreenZone. While I have three or four blog posts in the works covering various claims of his or some the web that surrounds him I decided to make a quick look at the one he made today. Over on his new blog he said that Green Zone griefer bots were cheating traffic in some areas. First let me give you a link to his post:
Monkeys so called griefer blog.
First off don't worry about commenting there. He is so afraid of having his absolute bull crap claims proved false that he won't let comments through. Now he claims that green zone is using bots to help cheat for traffic. Evidently he isn't a very smart one this because a lot of bot makers actually have their bots join an open group or two when they are made. This way they look less like a bot and more like a possible normal avatar. So just because some of these have signed up to the Green Zone group that must mean we support this....
Exactly. But what is funny is that one of them that he mentioned doesn't have Green Zone listed in as its groups but has another one listed instead. One that made me laugh quite a bit when I saw it. Here is the screenshot of that profile.
Anyways I decided to go and take a look for myself. So I searched up the region and teleported there. First thing off the bat that I noticed was that my Green Zone hud started telling me that Voodoo Antibot was running in the region. Imagine that, an area where he says we are cheating traffic is actually using his product. So then I popped up the radar and went looking for this group of bots. I found them at a completely different level than his shot showed, not only that they were all invisible even when I was right next to them in the air.
So it looks like a set up shot. A really bad set up to 'frame' Green Zone for having a few bots that happened to join their group. Well try again Monkey Wonder you may eventually do something right but today wasn't it.
Okay Monkey Wonder you've had almost a year to show us some proof of this DDOS attack that you claim to be carried out by GreenZone. Also for those who think that the maker of Voodoo products has just recently started his attack on GreenZone this post should clear all that up quite well for you. For my evidence that he's been doing this for some time now I use Linden Labs very own JIRA logs. This one just happens to be about RedZone (imagine that) where Monkey very loudly claims his views of GreenZone.
HERE IS A LINK TO THE JIRA
Here is a screen grab of his post for those who don't want to dig through that mess or know how to use 'Find'.
So we are looking at almost a year ago. In that time we've seen zero proof to his claims. None, zip, nadda, big zero. I mean he has his own website, why doesn't he simply post up all the proof there? That would be the simple way to do it. At least one would think. So evidently he has no proof that GreenZone is anyway responsible for a DDOS attack on his site.
What I found though was another JIRA started by Monkey. This one where he is having trouble with his sploders connecting to his website. So apparently he was having problems already that were technical and not hackers or griefers. Imagine that.
So now it looks like he has been blaming GreenZone for technical issues that he was having.
Oh and for a final bit from the JIRA I mentioned up top. After Monkey talks smack about others a few more return it right back to him and then he makes the wonderful ironic post below. This shows he can dish it out but cries when he has to take it.

Monkey Wonder, make of Voodoo products in Second Life, has decided to start up a new blog to further lie about GreenZone on. Here is a quick link to it:
Monkeys laughable second life griefers blog
In this he makes some new unheard of claims of attacks, things that nobody has mentioned before. He also uses some discussion with Unya Tigerfish that are taken out of context with many lines missing. She also told me that these were done in IM's and he never asked for permission to share them. He also goes on to name a couple of names and then provide absolutely ZERO proof to back anything up with. So of course I decided to comment in his little blog post.
That's when he decided to take a page from the JLU handbook. All comments are moderated before being posted up and since it's been twenty four hours since I submitted mine I guess he decided that it won't be shown. So basically attacking people without giving them a chance to chime up in their defense. Yep, typical epeen powered internet bully right there. Oh by the way here is a screenshot of my awaiting approval notice I got when posting:
Oh and what did I say to him you may ask? Well I of course copied that as well because I was pretty sure it wasn't going to be put up.
"Our servers have been DOS attacked, and when traced back originate from inworld objects created by individuals belonging to Green Zone Users group."
"Several bots known to belong to a Green Zone member attempted to brute force their way into Voodoo Anti Bot group to troll in group chat."
"Several bots known to belong to a Green Zone member attempted to brute force their way into Voodoo Anti Bot group to troll in group chat."
...and screenshots of this and proof are where?
You know the stuff that we have in spades on the JLU whom you proclaim to be innocent of any wrong doings.
"Personal and often crude insults are made on an almost hourly basis, lies are fabricated to create fear, and one member "Cyborg Renfold" is known to release real life addresses of their targets. This is a privacy advocacy group?"
At least part of this is an outright lie. The GZ chat goes silent for days on end. Hourly basis my rear end. Finally you name a name on here and lets see the proof of your claims on that as well.
"Individuals hand out defamatory notecards which have been hand crafted by the founder Fart Admiral in a "Fill in the blanks" style, so that anyone can defame products in a coherent and well thought out way."
We warn people of products and objects that could be used for alternative motives. This includes anything that collects and stores IP address connected to an avatar name in an offsite third party database. The HUD is used in the same way.
I also how you completely avoided talking about the many voodoo supporters (many of which were throw away alts a week old or less) who used to pop up in the chat and start tossing accusations out. But I guess it's okay when YOUR supporters invade a group.
Okay here is Monkey Wonder's, the maker of voodoo products, latest twitter response to me.
JLU is a security business and doesn't stalk. Well in this case he is completely burying his head in the sand and ignoring any and all facts. They kept a massive wiki collecting people real life info, spent massive amounts of time scouring the web looking for anything and everything they could dig up even listening in on skype conversation and took notes on one persons child they could hear in the background. They continued to stalk a person over the internet long after they left Second Life and even called his family to make sure that he actually passed away. They called businesses and schools trying to get people expelled and fired. Their wiki was chock full of things like this. Complete with discussions on better ways to figure out a persons identity and figure out their alts. Friend or foe got listed in there.
So Monkey Wonder, YES they ARE stalkers. This is not even a question, it is a proven fact beyond any doubt at all. To claim otherwise is to simply admit you are either a liar or an idiot.
Green Zone stalks people all the time. Okay well then prove it. Come on there was tons of info pulled up on the JLU, you can find it on the SLUniverse forums and even some of it here on my blog. Not to mention at least one of the wiki dumps is floating around on pirate bay for download. Besides disagreeing with the way your system works and seeing how it can be exploited by somebody of lower morale's and then warning others about it what have we done? Let's see some actual proof. Wheel it on out here and lets take a look at it. I mean if it's on such a 'massive' scale then there must be tons of documentation to back it up right?
Or are you just a liar with a raging epeen hard on?
Yes the Voodoo works as it says it does but they don't tell you to be careful with your sim wording. I had 'student highschool' in the land description and I was banned. The funny part was, the sploder was running on the land for three weeks prior to the ban and we also had one of the Voodoo Support members attend the sim, assist with the land description wording and stayed an hour enjoying the sim. Now they have an issue with the wording???? Ridiculous!!
The item works as advertised but their full disclosure of the terms left alot to be desired. It worked the first day I placed it on my land. Then it stopped working. My manager and I ran around for 1/2 a day trying to figure out the problem. We finally were able to contact someone at support who was very ignorant and angry with us. Apparently you cannot have the word 'young' in the title or description of your land. I was banned from group without explanation or warning and my Sploder was removed from the server. Be careful of the words you use that may be offensive, because the creator of this item has rules of his own apart from those set by LL and their TOS. Who would have thought that 'young' would be an issue. I asked to be reinstated on the server as I have complied, and still nothing two days later. I ended up purchasing another type of Xploder, which is much more user friendly. I do agree that we need to be diligent in our pursuit of socially acceptable terminology and behaviour, but their self created terms should be clearly stated on their advertisement of the product before they arbitrarily take your money and slap your hand later. An IM to fix the issue could have and would have been sufficient. If I could have entered a rating of 0, I would have.
Yep, 1000L$ in total down the drain.
Bought the item here on the marketplace, didn't work, thought I bought a scam-item so I looked for the in-world store.
Notecard and landmark that came with this item here are bogus, leading to an empty parcel for sale by someone else.
Spent about 10 to 15 minutes asking around and searching before finding the actual in-world store.
Tried the update-board there, it said I didn't own one of their sploders... so I figured I had been scammed here on the marketplace.
Then I figured, I want a working Voodoo sploder, I've seen them work, so I've bought one in the in-world store for 500L$ - and... blammo, didn't work.
Went to the update-board again, again to be told that I didn't own one of their sploders.
Joined the group thinking I'd get support there, but decided to check their notices first.
And there was one, in Spanish, which I had to run through a lousy online translator to find out that it said "sorry, the sploder isn't working, others outside SL are working on it".
That notice was dated two weeks ago.
Here's an idea, for the creators/sellers:
When you know your item is broken... STOP SELLING IT UNTIL IT'S FIXED!
Or at least put a message out in front of your store and here on marketplace and on the sploder website that the item currently isn't working, not just in your group.
Many people buy without joining groups.
I'm down 1000L$ now, which I bought using real money, for something which isn't working.
That's 1000L$ which I bought with real money.
I wanted a good sploder to draw in people which would possibly generate income in L$ so I could pay the rent for my land and maybe have a few L$ pocketmoney, instead I'll now have to find a way to cut my losses without losing my land because I won't be able to buy more L$ in time... thanks a lot Voodoo, I hope you are actually refunding people who buy a broken product from you.
For all the trouble they cause, 1L$ would be too much. I wasted 500L$ on this piece of #(*@&!!
Wel i bought this system some weeks ago and you get no support at all,This creator just ignoring all your im´s and notecards.
I would say buyers better go look for another system this aint workin.
Dear members of the GZ group!
Recently I have revisited the Voodoo products, and to my positive surprise I noticed that Monkey Wonder has in fact adapted many privacy features and thereby relieved a lot of the concerns regarding privacy that were the reasons for this group to fight against the products.
Therefor, I personally contacted Monkey Wonder and we agreed that I should give him a list of the remaining few items that we think were still in violation of privacy. Were those addressed, we would be happy to clear Voodoo products from our "Bad" list. Our talk ended cordially in a truce.
HOWEVER!
Only a week after this talk, before I was finished compiling this list, members of the Greenzone group are receiving a blackmail: "leave GZ group within 12 hours or you, your items, and your creations will be blacklisted"
I personally feel betrayed! We as the GZ group have pride!
And we will not bow to blackmail!
The GZ group is no griefer group! Therefor, I would like to suggest that everyone of you who is subject to the blackmail of Monkey Wonder, AR him, and whoever is subject to his announced griefing in local chat, AR the person owning the offending device.
Monkey Wonder, consider our talks cancelled. You have shown that you are no man of honour, but instead a blackmailing criminal.
For GZ,
Unya Tigerfish
Dear Greenzone griefing group member,
Following mass defamation, griefing, propoganda, scamming and false abuse reports initiated by members of Greenzone griefing group recently on a scale never before seen in SL, Voodoo has taken the decision to protect our customers and other residents of Second Life from your activities.
Greenzone once had a legitimate purpose in Second Life, protecting the privacy of residents from systems such as Red Zone.
Red Zone is long gone, and Greenzone now operates more like the Anonymous hacking collective. The moderators have lost control, and the group is now a leaderless organisation that anyone with a grudge can join to attack others in the name of Greenzone.
Voodoo produces an extremely popular free Sploder tracking HUD which is owned by thousands and used everyday by many people, we have a user base of over 40,000 avatars. The next version of these HUDs, to be released imminently, will announce any nearby Greenzone griefers in local chat by name, along with any land owned by these griefers and any objects created by them. We believe your creations and land are not safe as you are a member of a group well known for griefing.
We do however understand that there is a minority of legitimate business owners currently in the griefing group, who joined long before Greenzone was hijacked by trouble makers. Due to this, we are allowing 12 hours for you to leave the group and avoid any damage to your business.
Voodoo has been at the forefront of SL security for many years and we take it and peoples privacy very seriously.
We do not wish to become ememies of any group, but we simply cannot tolerate people who choose to attack or scam others.
Thank you for your understanding and please make the right decision.
Monkey Wonder
Owner of Voodoo SL
