Notes From Gaia
Random thoughts from inside Gaia
Development Update 11/26
So I'm sitting here with a cup of green tea, trying to convince myself that the dinner I had was in fact perfectly fine and is not causing those urgent rumblings in the stomach that presage possible misery ahead. So, please give me your understanding for a brief update today, and I'll update later in the week.

Thanksgiving Vacation
So, andylove went on vacation over Thanksgiving. She is so sweet and innocent and well liked, and she is the well brought up type that would never litter another cube or leave trash around.

Oh, what am I saying, she is exactly the type of person that would do that sort of thing, with glee and with the dastardly energy that only the truly nefarious can summon. However, with her cube undefended, we decided to give the "fold or crumple" advocate her own redecoration:

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

But a mere toilet papering wasn't enough; it was devoid of those artistic touches that separate the banal from the extraordinary. We had the bright idea of using some melted chocolate to simulate... well, I'll let a picture tell the story (not for those easily grossed out).

I said I would have my revenge on those who clutter my cube, and this is just the first step.

Stuff Going Out This Week
Coming out tomorrow is a limited beta for donators of something to make Gaia more accessible. Also rolling out is a copy to clipboard button in VJ, a bunch of minor bug fixes (i.e., $amount showing up in marketplace), a host of backend changes for stability, and a change to make the mod team's lives much easier.

Excellent touch with the chocolate! xd Can't wait for the donator limited beta. Question though, if we were to buy the Sealeds through the Cash Shop and gift them to another account, does the purchasing account get the Donator status? I'd like to know because testing the beta would be fun but I didn't really like this month's Monthly Collectables and just bought one for my little brother.. neutral

Oh I love the pictures!! The chocolate was a nice touch. They also added toilet seat covers to the whole mess. I'm glad to say my fish, Crumplestiltskin, lived through the terror. smile
Overall, they did a great job. I was laughing as I walked into the office and saw my cube smile

Hi,

I checked my donor status on my source code and it says I'm NOT a donor. Which is surprising, given all the $$ I spend on letters and stuff in the Cash Shop.

I went and gave a measly $5 through the traditional MC buying system and POOF! now my source code says I'm a donor.

A lot of people are going to be upset if the promised beta test gets out and they think they're donors but they're not going to be invited -- unless there's some other way besides the embedded source code to separate us out.

Just thought someone on the staff should know. I PM'd you as well. Thanks for looking into it.

Hm… Has this limited beta thing been released? And just how limited is it? sad I haven't really noted any changes yet.

I can tell you that backend changes and the $amount fix will be most appreciated by me, at least! biggrin I'd personally be happier seeing some of the requests in the VJ bugs & issues thread being fixed over a copy to clipboard function, but low-hanging fruit get picked first! lol

And I FEAR your second step! I think I may just be glad that I don't work with you, right about now! heart
