re: Category:Linden Community Managers

Any chance you could fill the info in here Torley ?

Hey Marv — I'd like to get more dedicated wiki-editing time in but I've been swamped... when am I not? ;) Seriously though, I super-appreciate your initiative and oodles of contributions here. I've shared the idea with my fellow Community Developers ("Manager" = old terminology) about getting more info about us and Lindens in general into the wiki. It'd be nice to have a more comprehensive "Who Does What".

Heh. I'll get the manager > developer terminology thing updated at a later date. Hope you don't mind, but I've tweaked the talk page layout to be in keeping with the format exhibited in the Wikipedia.

I'm learning the ropes here, this is all good to know. I'm cool with it! But dang, I crave my WYSIWYG.

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 :-)

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 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.

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.

What make and model is it?

--Torley Linden 10:26, 31 January 2007 (PST)

P-Active XP-5550A, although the catalogue I bought mine from (Argos) doesn't appear to be stocking them any more.

BTW, when I say it's fragile, the barrel buttons no longer work, making it a pain in the ass to do anything that requires both right and left clicking.

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. Strife Onizuka 21:03, 31 January 2007 (PST)

Hey Strife, thanks — please ensure that future support-related suggestions go through the Knowledge Base Request page so we can keep track of them. You can show said clever soul my reply here if ye wisheth. Re: Vista, I've asked our Quality Assurance dept.; there are some Lindens like Lawrence and Milo who've had considerable experience. I haven't used Vista yet, but eventually, we'll be updating the KB and System Requirements page.
