Alright so moving ahead.......

So we’ve understood (or at least attempted to) SL. We’ve got ourselves an avatar and now we are standing at the info hub!! Haaaaawwwww what is this place and why can’t I move???

Chances are you are lagging the hell out!! Now lag and typo’s are the way of life in SL. You have to be fluent in typonese and you sure as hell need to learn to handle lag with a smile. So you ask, what the f*** is lag eh?

Lag is a common word meaning to fail to keep up or to fall behind. In real-time applications, the term is used when the application fails to respond in a timely fashion to inputs. Now that is what Wiki has to say. The way I’d describe it is, if you read your chat 5 mins after you type it, or you press the “up arrow” key to move forward and you wait for your avatar to move only for it to land it a bush some 5 mins later, you are lagging!!!!

Fear not, info hubs are usually laggy anyways. Go on click on the search button on the bottom row of the screen. Go to the “Places” tab and search “club”…pick one from the search results and “teleport”. Yay!! you’ve officially used your SL super power!

Go on…..click around, search etc etc.

Tip: Search Shekhawati and come on over, we are usually there doing some non sense or the other. If you happen to sneak in when we aren’t, be sure to join our group and keep an eye out for activity at our end!
