Friendly greetings! I'm Torley-favicon.png Torley, you may've heard I love watermelons. It's true.

I started my Second Life as a Resident (affectionately abbreviated as "Resi") in 2004 before working for Linden Lab, and grew very passionate about making our world a better place for you to live.

Learn Second Life fun & fast...

WATCH VIDEO TUTORIALS!!!

What I do

I'm on the Community Team.

I also share regularly on the Official Second Life Blog, with 150+ posts made.

These are some of my free textures: Torley-Textures-V.jpg

More stuff I've done

How to contact me

BE SURE to read this because it's ultra-important!

I prefer simple email. torley at lindenlab dot com is my address. I get a lot of correspondence, so make your inquiry exceptionally awesome! As a general rule, I can't respond unless your message is directly about video tutorials, but I try to read everything I get. Requests to check out places, eclectic antics, and such are usually saved for personal relaxation on weekends.

Please do not send me IMs and notecards, they get missed. Email me. I often have to login to film a video tutorial/repro a bug/attend a meeting, then logout. Pardon me if you see my avatar but I'm not interacting — it just means I'm focusing on immediate tasks.

If you want to chat with me inworld, Office Hours are your answer. I love having visitors. Please accept my advance apologies I'll likely not be able to attend events I'm invited to. Maybe someday when my Second Life's work is done. ;)

Torley in other places

I like social networking. You can add me on: Clipmarks, FaceBook, Flickr, Koinup, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube.

NONE of these are official, so I can't reply to serious work-related matters on them, with the notable exception of video tutorials & related discussion which transcend Second Life.

What I can't help you with

Anyone is free to contact me! However, please note I most likely can't give account-specific assistance or forward help requests (e.g., inventory loss, can't login, etc.); the right place for these is our Support Portal. Nor can I reply to emails concerning legal, abuse, or other matters I don't know about.

My work queue is overflowing and to add to that would mean to slow down the many, many responsibilities I've already committed to. Questions about my direct duties get higher priority, especially if only I can answer them. And there are times when frequently-asked questions get turned into resources... see my FAQ.

Thanxies graciously for understanding. :)

Also good to know

  • Please be aware chat and IMs you send me MAY NOT BE PRIVATE — my screen is sometimes recorded and broadcast on the Internet when I'm teaching classes, doing demos, testing, etc.
  • I don't add to my Friends list because I find it too time-consuming to manage contacts.
  • Generally, it takes me about 1-2 weeks to get to received inventory items. I enjoy them in batch mode so they have my full attention.
  • My screen is often crammed with windows because I'm working on various things inworld. This means I prolly won't see your chat in the open. I apologize if this is so. If I'm available to talk, I'll be very chatty!
  • I usually don't blog about stuff (neither professionally nor personally) on request. I already have a long list of topics I'd like to get to "someday" and am inundated in ideas, so thanks in advance for your suggestion, but please understand I most likely won't be able to fulfill your request — unless by the wonder of synchronicity, it happens to already be on my list!
  • I love public speaking. I'm enthusiastic, informative, and vibrant — among other things — so if you'd like me to do a talk, use the Speaker Request form please.
  • And if you'd like to do an interview, send an email to our Press Contact.
