About Duckie Dickins

I joined Second Life back in October of 2006 after being pestered for half a year by a close friend (Alana Czervik) to come check it out. We played a MUD together for a few years before I got involved with Eve Online for several more years but kept in touch over instant messenger. After telling me about Second Life over the span of half a year, she finally convinced me to take a break from Eve Online and see what Second Life was all about.

I spent the first two weeks hanging out with Alana and attending a few building classes hosted by now defunct TUI-Neo back when instructors received L$ for giving classes inworld. I then discovered TUI-Neo also had classes on scripting in LSL and was encouraged by Alana that scripting was where all the action was. At that point I was hooked. I chair camped for L$ every day to earn the 35 L$ for each of the 1 hour classes that spanned 7 days.

Having completed my 7 day LSL course I dove head first into the world of LSL Scripting and have had quite an amazing Second Life existence. Thanks Alana!

I spend most of my time with a very talented content creator, Lexbot Sinster. We are currently collaborating with a number my current projects listed below as well as being my roleplay partner in crime and the girl I'm crazy about.
