Arbitar Basiat

I'm Arbi, Arbitar, Arbitar Basiat, Mr. Basiat, Iirteria, Voltaic, Az, Azu, Azuruk, Azuruk Botha, Mr. Botha Whatever you want to call me, I'm me, although I'm best known as simply Arbi. If I can help you, let me know, I'd love to if I can. I'm best at scripting related and protocol related questions (ie, how things work behind-the-scenes in SecondLife) I always have tons of open projects. Recently a Mentor, I'm more than willing to help you if you need it, you need only ask!
