Had a funny day visiting SL yesterday.

Usual hassle of having to download the latest update. I see voice communication has arrived but I think I prefer typing.

I then spent most of lunchtime chatting with a professor from a college in Florida. I'd been thanking him for returning my 'lost' motorbike when we fell to talking about weather, second life, languages, students and so forth. One of my best encounters there - hey and just for a change not library related! (Nor purely social or somewhat dubious!) After half an hour of instant messaging he offered to teleport me to where he was and we both sat on mats meditating. I liked his 'Sophocles' look - dressed in what appeared to be a white bed sheet.

Then spent some time trying to sort out my inventory and the like which is a bit tedious.

And *then* made an effort to discover where I can get on my bike (or the rocket pack I seem to have acquired). Not everywhere allows you to get it out of your inventory. But it's further confused by the fact that once you're riding it you seem to be able to take it places you couldn't remove it. Or am I just really confused about the whole issue?

The sad thing was that with all the riding and flying (and I didn't do a lot), or maybe it was just tiredness, I got very motion sick. Worse than I've ever had it before. Such that I very nearly was ill and even last thing at night I still felt it a bit. Settled down by breakfast though fortunately.
