30 months

Yes, you are reading this well! After more or less exactly two and a half (2.5) years, it was about time to get out of my beloved latex isolation suit. It was getting a little worn and thin on some places, even the thick latex nowadays isn't always the best quality anymore!

And so I changed... into another latex suit!

While I'm still admiring the looks and materials of the TK iso suit, I switched scripts already long time ago for another experimental make, and so I think I was an (sometimes over-critical) tester for those. But meanwhile, those scripts have gotten their own suit, and while the first prototypes I saw didn't impress me much, the final version  - which is on sale - did.

Big drumroll...





I got special permission to unrestrict my view temporarily to be able to take some pictures. Maybe I should ask for extension of this, to take some more later on, as my vision being very limited was one of the reasons I posted so little, let's face it: nothing for one year even.

But to tell about the year between my previous post and this one: I was sealed and (very) restricted in my suit all the time.

So, about those scripts. This is not a product review, and as a sealed (locked) wearer, I usually haven't got access to the menus. But, this suit having a well done mesh build and a lot of materials and so on to customise it's look (without good looks I wouldn't have gotten out of my TKiso), its big power - in my eyes - is in its scripting, more especially in the API it provides to create 'beacons' that can command everything in the suit.
Again, this is not a product review and I'm not going into details. But for the techies, how I did my own extensions to the scripting was just by programming my own private 'beacon' in a HUD attachment. My HUD beacon also provides some practical buttons: my flashlight (very useful as my view is always darkened, but it uses a lot of battery power), the green 'yes' and red 'no' buttons (as my speach is limited, to say the least) and a button to switch on/off the battery saving mode (which preserves energy, but at the cost of making me see even less and also adds hearing limitations)
Here's another picture, where you can see my HUD.

There's a lot and another lot more and even more possibilities what you can do with this API, I haven't even touched most of them. But, if the latex on this suit is as durable as on TK's, I got some years to fiddle with it. ^^

So.. will there be another two and a half years in SL for me in this suit?

Love,

(and I hope my next post will be sooner than in another year 😘 )
