Lez Zeppelin, the flying flower

I am impressed by the zeppelin construction.

Text and snapshots: Arm Strom


Lez Zeppelin is a girl only club in Second life. The captain on board is Aileen Voom. I was meet by a dog too. At first they were not convinced abouth my sex. Because of the intricate details and textures, it takes some time to rezz.



"Zeppelins are a type of rigid airship pioneered by German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the early 20th century, based in part on an earlier design by aviation pioneer David Schwarz. Due to the outstanding success of the Zeppelin design, the term zeppelin in casual use came to refer to all rigid dirigibles".



"A Flying flower"!

Statistics for February

It is always interesting to have from time to time some figures and nice pies (I love pies) to look at and wonder what they can tell you.

I have implemented four statistical tools in my blog, taking into account that it was better to have four false opinions rather than only one.

1 - Feedjit, the one you can easily see on my sidebar.

popular pages today

The first popular page is my blog, crazy isn't it?

In second (life...) position comes my first Blogger Day, thanks to Lillie Yifu who kindly posted a link to my blog and made a huge wave of new readers rush into this post.

Ranking third is my friend Arm who often post very strange and funny articles and photos, giving a fresh Norwegian air to my site;)

I am happy that my new friend Seb (a man, can you believe it...?) arrives fourth, but he deserves it yet.

Of course sex is not forgotten and takes the fifth place (just after Seb, is it a sign?)

I don't know why, but in sixth position we find Saturday, December 8, 2007 , if someone can explain me!

And in seventh place oh surprise! sitemeter Vs Google Analytics, LOL, if I can take the liberty of this Lack Of Language.

Slave auction at House Nishi has always some success, don't ask me why.

As for the Turing test closing the top 10 with Muhammad Neva, I must admit it is a coincidence as I never (second) thought that Prokofy could be able one day to pass this test.

3 - An interrupted Google Analytics that suffered from my template modification (I hope my old readers noticed that I changed my layout...)

The code has to be inserted in the template just before the markup "/body", therefore when you change your template you have to insert a new code, next time I will try not to forget it.

my first Blogger Day

On Sunday night (for me it was past 11PM) I went to my first blogger party.

When I arrived I was really impressed, small place and a lot of people with some celebrities like Zoe Connolly and Vint Falken that I therefore had the possibility to see "in real" inworld.

My (future) legendary shyness prevented me from immediately approaching all these bloggers who were mostly frenetically dancing.




Zoe was not dancing, but I guess it was because of her paraphernalia.




Actually it is preferible not to move too much when you wear a nitroglycerinized outfit.




A strange catfish was undulating in the middle of the room, remotely scrutinized by a neko I know now pretty well. Nekos love fishes, these two will certainly have something to share by the end of the night.




Being bolder and bolder, I approached with my camera (my body staying prudently outside) so as to better see Vint's right ear that was the most clear-cut part of her body, I even was able to see the spots of the inner ear.




Apparently Vint was more interested by her close neighbor and she neglected the catfish (maybe better for the catfish after all)




But her neighbor seemed not to pay attention to her, maybe she was another anti-neko...?




And yet Vint insisted, I am sure she was dating her by IM.




Finally she was jacked in and she resumed her surveillance of the catfish (looked like an idée fixe...)




Miss Vint Falken, a Great Lady.




As I am not neko-allergenic (unless she is hypo-allergenic) I came closer to Vint.

Actually it was to be with her on the same photo, it is always good to show off a little.




Later in the night I was the only one still dancing, the others had an interesting conversation.

I must admit I still does not know what an Akismet or askimet is...

I have to learn some more tutorials I guess.

Next time I will ask CodeBastard (unfortunately I had not the opportunity to chat with her this night)

By the way where is the catfish...? Hum, Vint is stroking her stomach, maybe a hint...




Crap Mariner must live in space, he does not know gravity.




At least Elusyve Jewel did catch a big fish, and Vint is playing with cogs.




Almost everybody has gone and I stayed a little with Lillie Yifu.




Lillie, another Grande Dame.

Sorry for all the others that I forgot to notice during the party, but Vint's eyes hypnotized me so much...
