Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could
find a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same
blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one?
Thanks a lot!

I’ve been following your blog for a couple of months — found you via Alas, A Blog. I really appreciate all of the information and perspectives you publish here, and I’m going to direct my fellow psychology students to look at your Getting the Truth Out — it’s so amazing and important!

I’ve read about second life now and then, but never felt inclined to try it ’till yesterday. I remembered having read this entry, so I came back to reread it. I think I sent a successful SL friend requeust – I’m Anstarren Fassnacht. I hope to see you there sometime :)

i am now Natasha Shatzkin on secondlife, but i can only access it from work… i think i will use it when i am useless for paperwork (ie after class). all my courses are running almost 2 hours per meeting this semester and that is a lot of talking. today was almost 6 hours total of talking, although i started losing words in english towards the middle of the 3rd class. the students helped me, though. (^_^)

My LJ icons that are people and not photos of my kids are caricatures of me that are accurate to some degree (as accurate as the program or cartoonist was going to get it, given the style). I think accuracy is reasonable. If I were going to do something like SL, I would probably construct an avatar looking something like me — not going as far outside the bounds of “normal” for that environment as you, but hey, I like my hair, I like my height, in fact the only problem I really have with my body right now is an actual medical problem that either I have to do scheduled surgery for, or wait until it gets so acute that they have to do emergency surgery. (I have the surgery scheduled.)

It’s funny, I saw the pictures on Getting the Truth Out, and had you pegged for 5’6″ or taller, and I saw pictures online of someone I pegged as 5’4″ or shorter and found out she’s closer to 6′ when I met her in person. :) Photos can hide truth.

I’m Alfred McDonnagh on SL. New for me too. I’d like to know how to get to your areas. I also don’t know if IM works real time or is more like mail or where to search your name and add as friend. Still taking the path of the newb there although I have changed my appearance. It’s not quite like me. I can’t get the hair right, the face right. My sims2 persona was a little easier to get right but at the same time, not as flexible as the general archiecture with tattoos and all in SL. Interesting. If I have time, I’ll be off and on. I’d like to know if you add me.

I bet it WAS the camera angle. Thank you for the technical explanation, that puts my mind at rest that it has a logical explanation.

I think I often had the camera placed below my eye level. That could’ve done it. I’m 5’2″ though. Definitely not tall.

PS: Amanda, from your photos on “getting the truth out”, I could have sworn you were tall. Not that it matters, i just wonder how i saw you as tall but in fact you tell that you are short. Maybe something about proportions or the way the photos are cropped…
Or maybe the “stand-tall” attitude of the site (~_^)

yeah, my video card was also weighed in the balance and found wanting.

oh i am disappointed. you can fly? i would love to fly!! There was a time in my childhood when I was almost convinced i could fly (due to a dream about it) but i never tried actually leaping off of high things to find out, hence “almost”.

As soon as i can get a better video card i am IN THERE. this would involve getting a great deal on a computer (maybe possible) and my husband inheriting my laptop to play with linux in, so there is some vested interest going on also.
