Virtual Asia is a sim that is owned by Manaf resident. The concept of the sim is a very interesting one because most of the residents of the sim have a home there free of charge and there is so much to do on the sim, aside from shopping. It’s a real community where the residents all know each other. It’s also a fantastic place for city pictures. This is just a quick raw snapshot I took for this post, but I will go back to take more real soon.
I found this sim because I was contacted by Nova2009 Avril to be interviewed for the new Virtual Asia show that is sponsored by the sim. Now that I look back and listen to the interview, I’m rather embarrassed cuz I realize I say “well…ummmmmmmm” way too much. LOL But in any case, it was great fun and I was honored they asked me.
Thank you once again to Nova and Manaf for a different experience in my SL. It was great fun to meet you guys and hang out for a bit. Also a big thank you to Manaf for showing me around your gorgeous sim, I will be back soon to take more pics!

I’ve installed a SOPA strike plugin which will make my site inaccessible January 18th from 8am to 8pm est. Learn more about SOPA and the SopaStrike.
I apologize to all of my advertisers for the interuption this may cause your ad campaigns on my site, I will add a day to all of your campaigns. I just felt that it was important for me to do this.
Speaking of which, February 15th will mark my two year domain anniversary. Just the other day I shared my very first blog posts from December of 2007 on plurk and got a good giggle with everyone. To celebrate my domain anniversary I am going to do a small sale on my two month advertising rate. Normally it is L$6500, but from now until February 15th, it will be L$3000. So for L$3000 you can have your 125×125 ad/logo on my sidebar for two months. Please email me if you are interested in having that setup.

Since Kirstens Viewer is no longer available, you guys have been contacting me asking which viewer I’m now using. Therefore I thought I would do a video tutorial of my recent favorite viewer, Exodus Viewer. I’ve been using Exodus consistently since November 10th when I did this plurk about it. I had downloaded it but had some issues getting shadows to run. I found out I wasn’t the only one having this issue. If you read that plurk you’ll see that you just need to disable anti-aliasing and shadows will pop up for you. I’ve gone into a bit more detail about this in the video if you need to see what I mean I am embedding and linking the video below.
One thing I really love about Exodus Viewer is that I can take the biggest snapshot I like (usually 5760×3084) and I will not get any kinds of glitches or weird lines on my image. I have put up a pure raw shot on my flickr here which I’ll also embed a small version of below. As you can see, the image is completely clean and that’s how ALL of my images look whenever I use Exodus Viewer.
Another thing I love about Exodus Viewer is that it actually lets me take pictures without ever crashing using my avatar that is up to about 120K inventory now (I know, I’m bad, shush :P wanna organize it for me? :D)
(Raw shot from SL)
I recently purchased a new video card a few months back so I have updated my computer specifications page with that info. You can take a look to see what kind of computer I have. After getting the new 560ti video card, my crash rate went down significantly. And then after discovering Exodus and using it religiously, I rarely crash, if ever, and usually because I am doing a whole bunch of things at once (such as watching something on netflix, chatting in skype, checking plurk, and shooting massive images in SL, yeah…I know…I’m crazy :P).
The developer of Exodus is having some computer issues so the development has been a bit delayed but hopefully he’ll be back soon adding more updates and features to it. For now, the last version works fantastic for me so hopefully it will be good for you guys too.
So anyhow, I hope you guys like Exodus as much as I do. I have been really happy with it. If you do have any questions, feel free to email me and I’ll do the best I can to help you out.
