2009.04.14 01:00 - Easter & land

The Guardian for this meeting was Wester Kiranov. The comments are by Wester Kiranov.

I sat listening to the birds for a while, and then was joined Fael. We talked a bit about we did at Easter.

Fael Illyar: Hi Wester :)
Wester Kiranov: hi fael
Fael Illyar: It's been busy for me this easter :)
Wester Kiranov: what have you been doing then?
Fael Illyar: visiting my mother. I'm still there but for the moment it's relatively peaceful :)
Fael Illyar: so, I ended up coming here :)
Wester Kiranov: relatively peaceful - does not sound like you're having a party
Fael Illyar: not right now no :)
Fael Illyar: although, there were somewhere close to 30 people in total here yesterday
Wester Kiranov: all family, or mixed?
Fael Illyar: mixed, sort of a public reception in the house.
Fael Illyar: my stepfather is a priest
Wester Kiranov: ok
Fael Illyar: overall it was a nice easter :)
Fael Illyar: How was yours?
Wester Kiranov: that's nice to hear
Wester Kiranov: mine was fine, spent in mainly with husband and children
Wester Kiranov: looked for eggs in the park, a neighbourhood activity
Wester Kiranov: first time the kids did that
Fael Illyar: Ah, egghunt in a park? interesting :)
Wester Kiranov: it was nice. but we did have to help the kids quite a lot. "Hey, do you see something there? I think I do. No, there! Yes, you found it!"
Fael Illyar smiles.
Wester Kiranov: they're only 2
Fael Illyar: Yes, takes some effort to look for something at that age :)
Wester Kiranov: :)
Wester Kiranov: they never have any trouble finding their pacifier/dummy. Even if we can't find them, my daughter will dive under her bed and emerge holding one
Wester Kiranov: but eggs is something different :)
Fael Illyar: :)

She then got an unpleasant surprise in her e-mail and I learned there are definite downsides to owning land in SL.

Fael Illyar just took a look at her email and received a billing failure notice ... more things to sort out it seems.

Fael Illyar: from Linden Labs that is
Fael Illyar: so, I have a bit less than a week left to fix the problem or they prevent me from logging in at all.
Fael Illyar: the downside of actually owning land, if you are unable to pay, you'll eventually lose your account completely.
Wester Kiranov: I'm sorry. Hope you will be able to work it out.
Fael Illyar: (or having premium account)
Fael Illyar: Will have to see what I can do about that.
Fael Illyar: they'll wait for 7 days for payment before suspending account and then 30 days before completely deleting your account.
Wester Kiranov: that's not very patient
Fael Illyar: nope
Fael Illyar: too bad I didn't hear about this before I bought some land.
Fael Illyar: if you never own land, there's absolutely no danger of them ever removing your account.
Wester Kiranov: that's a weird distinction to make
Fael Illyar: it's a leftover from earlier days that they haven't changed for some reason
Fael Illyar: Well, seems I better move to sorting things out.
Fael Illyar: Have a nice day Wester :)
Wester Kiranov: see you later then - I hope :)
Fael Illyar waves.
