The Treacle-Well

Yesterday it was certainly the case that sim crossings and the simple and time-honoured practice of "moving about" were causing much consternation. I spent some time trying to fix multiple occurrences of trams in Caledon, so as not to overly offend a distinguished visitor.

'Once upon a time there were three little sisters,' the Dormouse began in a great hurry; 'and their names were Elsie, Lacie, and Tillie; and they lived at the bottom of a well--' 'What did they live on?' said Alice, who always took a great interest in questions of eating and drinking. 'They lived on treacle,' said the Dormouse, after thinking a minute or two. 'They couldn't have done that, you know,' Alice gently remarked; 'they'd have been ill.' 'So they were,' said the Dormouse; 'VERY ill.'

I must warn all users and purchasers of devices such as the .45 Shansi that there is an issue currently with llParticleSystem, that it does not reliably turn on and off. The muzzle flash in automatic fire for the Shansi, for instance, will not turn off when the trigger is released. I am sorry for this. It was not predictable and will certainly be fine very soon, I am sure. For that matter, even simple particle-turning-on scripts do not appear to work properly, though I am told that the First Look client is not so vulnerable.

Alice did not quite know what to say to this: so she helped herself to some tea and bread-and-butter, and then turned to the Dormouse, and repeated her question. 'Why did they live at the bottom of a well?' The Dormouse again took a minute or two to think about it, and then said, 'It was a treacle-well.'

I dare say that, given that my last attempt resulted in my actually being kicked out of the world, I will not be conducting lengthy experiments, but patience, as always, will no doubt serve one well.

'At any rate I'll never go THERE again!' said Alice as she picked her way through the wood. 'It's the stupidest tea-party I ever was at in all my life!'
