On P Squared chatting with Philip

After reading Philip Rosedale's blog post, Next Chapter:
https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/features/blog/2009/10/15/next-chapter (sorry... you may need to log in to read it)... I logged into Second Life to visit P Squared. Actually, I used the link from the Sand Castle Studios site:
On location: P Squared in the very beautiful Second Life®
Many thanks to the imagination & ever-continuing reinvention of Philip Linden Rosedale. Picnic-ing on P Squared when a along came Philip Linden.
made my day! I told him I had met him at SLCC in Chicago and San Francisco... and was most pleased to meet him here in the real world!
So now you'll find him at Burning Life.. one of those tiny little green dots!
so cool.... now there's a machinima that goes with this.. but it's the tour of the island before Philip arrived... stay tuned on my youtube channel:

Blogging on the rugged digital shores of Davis Island in Second Life®

On the rugged digital shores of Davis Island: in Second Life® with the MH214 Class

Snapz Pro shows resilience after mac computer crash!

Snapz Pro shows resilience after system crash!, originally uploaded by HVX Silverstar.

While logged into Second Life and running both Wiretap Studio and Snapz Pro (Ambrosia's latest version) http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
that dreaded black veil moved slowly down my screen -- the "Kernel Panic" --with the message written in multiple languages alerting me to hold down my on/off button for several seconds to turn off computer. Actually, I don't remember the exact wording as the loss of brain cells likely works to calm readers of the bold text message as the veil drops on the screen.
In the past, I would have lost the video being recorded using SnapzProX, of course due to the crash and not Snapz.... but the story ends to the sound of the resilient and lone trombone heard above the crowds of brass... Snapz rose to the center of the screen as I logged back in.... standing alone, proud and ready for action: "Save movie... now or later?"
Thank you, Ambrosia.
