Recently I decided to entirely replace my existing shop with what I consider to be a much more aesthetically pleasing, and spacious, building; the shop floor is a now a broad, high-ceilinged, iron-framed gallery. Clearly I had to retain the breakable windows, and clearly I had to retain a balloon deck from which visitors might board the Touring Dirigible. (Even considering its antiquity, the Dirigible is still very popular.

I did mean to put up a video of this previously, only, well, I didn't. By the way, when it says "cover one's ears" it is advisable to do so.

I am afraid that the musical accompaniment really is rather obvious.

And what is the problem now? Here I am in the middle of a commercial discussion and the entire world turns grey and ejects me. Honestly, one cannot help but take these things personally sometimes.

I am fed up unto the back teeth with not being able to have my Instant Messages sent to my Aethernet Mailbox on account of people being untidy and leaving chess pieces out near the Tram Rezzing Device (for the uninitiated, the Device sits near the chessboard in Caledon II, and creates a new tram if the old one has an accident befalling it, but if the area is already full of Primitives, well, it complains to me).

On the other hand, one cannot really complain if one creates a device which behaves in a way which one does not mean it to; it has hardly decided to do this on its own.

I'm sorry to anyone who is getting bored of my cinematography, but I have such fun making these things, even if they are rubbish. The latest efforts are views of two things from Burning Life. Ms Rebekka Ruff told me about the Steam Powered Gumball Factory and clearly I had to visit that - but on the way I also noticed Jillian Callahan's telescope, and felt that that deserved a piece as well.

Oh God, I simply cannot help myself.

Ah, one other thing that I have been doing recently with regards to Commercial Affairs is the setting of my sold products to "transfer" rather than "copy" (where appropriate - vehicles, for instance, must be copy, given the extraordinary number of accidents which can befall them).

One practical result of this is that people may now visit Ordinal Enterprises, see items which they are not that interested in themselves but think would be absolutely perfect for someone else, and purchase them as gifts without having to bother me about it.

A conversation with Rebekka Ruff yesterday reminded me of something which I made a very long time ago - the Fabulous Multicoloured Snuffbox. Specially-imported and treated snuff from distant lands makes every refreshing sneeze a marvel!

I have been most remiss lately in... well, in all forms of activity. I find myself paying no attention to my own commercial interests, and instead doing very little of import. Last night I forced myself to box things up, take promotional photographs and so on, and I can thus announce that the .45 Shansi and the Beehive Launcher (which I believe I mentioned before) are now available in Second Life, some months after they were actually finished and ready.
