I finally made it out to the new location of the Second Life Library and sat on one of the bookshelves. I made a few changes to my avatar (it’s still pretty plain and I still can’t figure out how to pull off a goatee) and was able to set the library as my home. Rain was there to give me some help but unfortunately I ran out of time. I will be attending the organizational meeting tonight. Check out the SL Library blog for details if you’re interested in participating.

Sitting on the bookshelf
A quick Word tip
As someone who has to constandly write to a certain word count, I’m constantly bringing up my document’s statistics in Word so see how close I am to my limit. This morning, when starting an article I decided to look for a simpler way. Well, it turns out that Word (starting with the 2002 version) has a “Word Count toolbar”. To turn it on select View|Toolbard|Word Count from the menus. (Feel free to dock this toolbar wherever you feel it’s appropriate.) Unfortunately, the count doesn’t update as you type (oh how I wish it would) but to get an updated word count for your document all you now need to do is click on the Recount button.
Memory hog
Can anyone explain to me why Firefox is using nearly half-a-gig of RAM? (Luckily my home computer has a full gig or RAM.)
