Katja Soderstrom

I've been out of the loop for a long time as I was out of the country, and used whatever free time I had to go in world, not to keep up with the journal!  Glad to see you all again.  I've looked for a number of you online but haven't connected with too many -- will keep trying, and I'm Katja Soderstrom (and I DON'T speak Swedish, but I think the name causes a lot of Scandinavians to talk to me who might not otherwise).

A while back there was a post about getting rid of the fish-eye effect in your snapshots -- I can't find it, but have been working on my photos and think it's time to get into that.  Can anyone remind me how to do that?

And anyone been to any place new lately that's worth passing on?  I've been spending a lot of time at the MoonGlow Ballroom which is usually not too full (okay, it's usually pretty empty) but it's a nice romantic dance spot where people usually dress up.  And I'm thinking about moving my beach house -- there has been a lot of people moving in and out of the island, and at least two other people have decided to get my same house!  I know, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but they could flatter me somewhere else.  :)

Made my most awesome SL discoveries yesterday -- while I was at the International Space Museum (where I learned that by SL standards I am 6 feet tall, which makes everyone else ubertall, as Katja is one of the smaller AVs in world)  someone directed me to the MST3K theater, where they show the movies on a regular basis, and from there to the totally awesome Star Trek Culture Museum and the Star Trek Science Museum, where I rode a Borg cube through hyperspace and visited George and Gracie in the bay.   And later danced with a Norwegian guy at the new Caribbean Breezes jazz club.  All in one afternoon.   And I am officially a sick addicted person -- I bought a new laptop Friday that has an nVidia GeForce Go 6150 card so that I can continue to play once we are all required to go to the new version, which won't let me squeak through anymore with my Intel card.  Now I just have to figure out how to pay for it! 

Current Mood: ecstatic

Have decided that it would be prudent for Katja to have her own LJ instead of sharing, so here we go.  

For anyone out there using the Intel card like I am, if I understand correctly from the blog entry, we will ALL have to dowload the latest version as of April 11.  Hope you can work it out!  As for me, I'm looking for a system with an appropriate card, and hope to be up on the new version by the end of next week.  Now if I can just find some extra money floating around -- RL money trees!

Current Mood: hopeful
