== RE: [http://twitter.com/torley/statuses/803835465 twitter] ==
I have a patch for [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VideoFlash Extension:VideoFlash]- which is used for embedding the YouTube vidtuts in the wiki (I've [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Args left a note] on the author's talk page about the patch)- the patch adds support for blip.tv videos to the extension. The blip.tv flash player includes "episode navigation", so rather than including a link to each individual episode, [[Video Tutorials|the article]] could be cleaned up by just displaying the latest clip in each volume.

== re:Wacom Intuos3 6x8 ==

How much does it cost to get one of these ?

I'm stuck with a rather cheap-ass graphics tablet at the moment- this is the second one of the same model I've had, due to problems with the first generation model being even more cheap-ass than this one. But as you've seen it still plays nice with ArtRage 2 :-)

[[User:SignpostMarv Martin|SignpostMarv Martin]] 08:04, 29 January 2007 (PST)

P.S. I'm suspecting you might've got it cheaper from elsewhere, since manufacturers tend to list padded prices.

: Mine was 'round CAD$350 and I got it from [http://ncix.com NCIX]. Wacom seems to have quite the hold on graphics tablets — I appreciate their elegance but also wish there was more diversity. I wonder what other alternatives are more affordable but... not ''cheap'' in the quality-lacking sense.
: --[[User:Torley Linden|Torley Linden]] 12:56, 30 January 2007 (PST)

::Mine cost GBP£25.
::It works, but the graphics pen is rather fragile, and breaks easily. The coating on the pen tends to rub off, and the coating on the first edition of the tablet itself suffered from the same issue.

::::[[User:SignpostMarv Martin|SignpostMarv Martin]] 11:15, 31 January 2007 (PST)

== RE: My united states of whatever... ok i just need sleep ==
A clever soul suggested (by forum PM) an official FAQ on SL and Vista. I wouldn't imagine it would have to be long just answer a few of the more basic questions that get asked (like: why won't it run, when will it run, and why does it turn the bread on top of my CPU into burnt smoldering bread when in XP it only made toast (it has ruined my breakfast habits)). Said I would pass it along. I did sticky a thread in the RA forum though. In retrospect might have been better to PM; opps. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 21:03, 31 January 2007 (PST)

== 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. As a general rule, I can't respond unless your message is directly about [[Video Tutorials|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. I get 100s of emails a day; '''make your inquiry exceptionally awesome!'''

Please '''do ''not'' send me IMs and notecards expecting a reply, they get missed because I'm busy working. I don't want to waste your time, nor mine.''' 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. ;)

In case of an emergancy IM my pal Jumpman Lane. He'll get the deets to meh!

Well I met Jumpman Lane in a watermelon patch. We were smashing watermelons and pondering the meaning of life and regaling each other with all the hookers we have well...er you know... when we realized that TOGETHER we could take over the world...er which world we weren't sure of...so we decided Second Life would do. Me on the inside, Jump on the outside, he in a Spiderman suit, I disguised as a watermelon would bring JUSTICE to a cold world...er virtual world. So the legend has begun!

== 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. As a general rule, I can't respond unless your message is directly about [[Video Tutorials|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. I get 100s of emails a day; '''make your inquiry exceptionally awesome!'''

Please '''do ''not'' send me IMs and notecards expecting a reply, they get missed because I'm busy working. I don't want to waste your time, nor mine.''' 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. ;)

In case of an emergancy IM my pal Jumpman Lane. He'll get the deets to meh!

''Nor'' can I reply to emails concerning [http://secondlife.com/corporate/dmca.php legal], [http://secondlife.com/corporate/cs.php abuse], or other matters I don't know about.

As a general rule, I can't respond unless your message is directly about [[Video Tutorials|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. I get 100s of emails a day; '''make your inquiry exceptionally awesome!'''

Please '''do ''not'' send me IMs and notecards expecting a reply, they get missed because I'm busy working. I don't want to waste your time, nor mine.''' 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. ;)

In case of an emergancy IM my pal Jumpman Lane. He'll get the deets to meh!

These are 3rd-party sites, 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!

''Nor'' can I reply to emails concerning [http://secondlife.com/corporate/dmca.php legal], [http://secondlife.com/corporate/cs.php 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... [[User:Torley_Linden/FAQ|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 like to sit down, sort them out, and enjoy.
* 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 because I've overcome agoraphobia. I'm enthusiastic, informative, and vibrant — among other things — so if you'd like me to do a talk, [http://lindenlab.com/pressroom/speaker use the Speaker Request form] please.
* And if you'd like to do an interview, send an email to our [mailto:presscontact@secondlife.com Press Contact].

| [[Image:Watermelon-revolution.jpg|128px|right]] ''Friendly greetings!'' I'm [[Image:Torley-favicon.png]] '''To'ley Linden''', 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 Lady Dawson and making our world a better place for you to live. 

'''Learn Second Life fun & fast...''' 
'''[[Video_Tutorials|WATCH VIDEO TUTORIALS!!!]]'''
|}

== What I do ==
'''I'm on the Community Team.'''

* I make [[Video Tutorials|video tutorials]] like this:
<videoflash>prno9o9n2ic</videoflash>
* I also nourish content creativity — [[Texture Tools]], [[User:Torley_Linden/Snapshot_tips| Guide to High-Quality Photography]], etc.
* You can call me an [http://www.flickr.com/photos/torley/ avid photographer of inworld beauty], and [http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=Torley spontaneous performance artist].
* I've been known to [http://torley.com/second-life-koans wax philosophical] and [http://torley.com/thanksgiving-teachings-from-torley positively motivate others]. Evangelizing how Second Life can improve your First Life is definitely a fave topic for discussion.
* Additionally, I specialize in connecting seemingly unrelated pieces together and not just observing, but ''sharing'' eclecticism that gets missed!
* Further, I am a great fan of Jumpman Lane's Slut Magazine

I also '''[http://blog.secondlife.com/author/torleylinden/ share regularly on the Official Second Life Blog]''', with 150+ posts made.

For more info about me, see '''[http://torley.com Torley Lives, my personal blog]'''.

These are some of my '''[http://torley.com/textures free textures]''':

=== Stuff I'm transitioning from ===
I enjoyed doing this, but do less of it now:

* I develop communications — [http://blog.secondlife.com/ blog], [http://jira.secondlife.com Issue Tracker] ([[User:Torley_Linden/PJIRA|learn more]]), [http://wiki.secondlife.com wiki], etc.
* I'm in Studio Blacklight, helping devs to identify and repro [https://jira.secondlife.com/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10225 critical pain points].
* I'm our community-facing representative for [[WindLight]] (killer skies & kickass environments).
* I'm involved with the inworld Resident eXperience, including our user interface — see [[Dazzle]]! — and [http://torley.com/category/inworld-exploring exploring Second Life].

=== Other stuff I've done ===
Not a complete list, but if you're interested in history, you may also like to know:

* I used to moderate the [http://forums.secondlife.com/search.php? Second Life forums] with our ResMods.
* I worked with Residents to develop mainland Infohubs (those blue i's you see on the World Map).
* I wrote portions of F1 Help (pre-Knowledge Base), specifically the [http://secondlife.com/app/help/avatar/index.php Avatar Customization], [http://secondlife.com/app/help/new/index.php New Features], & [http://secondlife.com/app/help/thingstodo/explore.php Explorer's Guide]. Jack, Jeska, & Cyn did most of the work — I was just happy to help. :)
