Gaia Life
A catalog of my experiences as an employee and citizen of Gaia.
Week Thirty: Reelin' In the Years
Wow, it's been a long week - and what better way to end it than with a journal update that actually comes out in the morning eek . No sleeping in for me! Instead of me sitting here daydreaming about real dreaming in my comfy bed, let's proceed...

One Foot in the Grave
I got to model the new Gaia shirt last week, resulting in a terrible picture that has resulted in a lot of buzz and set the GCD temporarily ablaze.

Actually, that's an overstatement - it's probably more appropriate to say that it sparked discussion in the GCD. The conclusions:
Also for the record, I'm 23, I shave my head, and YES, for the last time, that's me in the picture!

Also, don't forget, the shirts are limited in supply - they're selling out fast!


Not-So-Secret ULTRA SECRET Projects
I'm in the middle of 3 projects right now that those in the know are aware of. One of them is a minor project that should be released soon, and the other two are projects that definitely will be released next month.

As for why I'm doing this instead of making new Quests, well, read last week's post scream

Though the upside is that in doing these projects, I'm going to be creating new gameplay elements for use in Quests. So if you thought quests were just going to be posting and gathering items and stuff that already exists on the site, you're probably wrong rofl

So I've been in the office working until midnight a few nights this week (who said devs were lazy?) to make sure that we have plenty of time to test all the code well in advance of their release.


A Friendly Reminder About "Hackings"
Hey guys! I hoped I wouldn't have to bring this up, but since I still get PMs constantly about it, I figured I'd mention it here:

No REAL admin will EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER give out your password to anyone. Even if I asked you, you shouldn't! No admin will ever ask for it!

Most "hackings" are really just scams wherein a user poses as an admin and convinces users to give them their password. sweatdrop


Board Chow!
Also, I haven't been featuring artwork in my journal as much lately because I get so much, but since this one is topical and made by the lubberly Futo Maki:

Mmm... Board chow.
However, I think anything that falls into my keyboard stays there and never comes out.

"One foot in the grave"... Ha!

You're a model now? No wonder they stuck that t-shirt on you and took some pictures - you're kinda cute. 3nodding

Yum... Board Chow. heart

Ignore the people saying bad things about you. You are who you are, and I am who I am. People tend to herd together and put tags on people who are 'different' by their 'standards'. I hate that kind of behaviour. gonk

Oh new releases. *waits while twidling thumbs* Staying up till midnight every night or almost every night is bad. You guys should be careful not to fall asleep on the keyboards or something like that. Awsome about the updates. Can't wait.

Olá! Vim até aqui para ler um pouco sobre seus projetos e acabei descobrindo que você é um brasileiro!!*se não, pelo menos entende português*
Fiquei muito contente de saber que tem um brasileiro trabalhando duro no gaia, e que grandes idéias como a daily chance surgiram de um !

Continue trabalhando para fazer os profiles carregarem mais rápido, e espero em breve ver novas e criativas quests!!!!!!!

: heart Obrigada pela atenção heart

LOL.

I think it's funny they are calling you "old" at 23. I turned forty this past year and have been on Gaia for a couple. It's a fun place and I appreciate all the hard work that the developers, writers, and artists do to make it a really entertaining place!

And I think you're kinda cute too! Nice modeling job! heart


commentCommented on: Wed Jan 31, 2007 @ 03:45am
Heh. I figured that it was you who was modelling the shirt. XD

Also, you are not old. 118 is old.


Le Fai would look strange if she shaved her head. The shortest I'll ever have my hair is probably the length it was in that picture of me cosplaying as Labtech 123 in my profile. XP

Thank you for sharing that little comic. It reminds me of my old keyboard which had a very unfortunate encounter with a spoon of joghurt, afterward some keys wouldn't work properly anymore .... too bad if the e is among them. ^^;

Anyway, I don't know if one of your projects was in any way connected to the recent towns and housing update, in case it was: Thank you very much! Things run much smoother now (and for some reason dragonflies seem easier to catch oO; ) and I eventually found a slot for my home - in case you weren't, please say thanks to your colleagues from me.
