Facebooked!

I’ve just started an experimental Facebook page… what’s there for you:

      • photos – walk down memory lane – vintage Lulu and Lulu muses.
  • Spotted! With LULU gear of course.
  • polls – tell me what you think
  • stories – sexy!
http://facebook.com/lululudovico

Poke around, and remember to like the page (not just individual sections) if you want updates!

My current thinking is though there’s some overlap between the blog and Facebook, the blog will have more gear-specific updates and info whereas Facebook might be better for other fun things. We’ll see.

If you want to be featured in upcoming Spotted! (LULU showcase for LULU Connoisseurs), please send me your sexiest shoot wearing a Signature collar, cuff or gag 🙂 You can upload your image by clicking your HUD “@Lulu” Feedback button or go to http://lu2.me/helpdesk >; “Contact Support”. I prefer you not to send me files inworld as those tend to be shrunk to square shapes.

Enjoy!

PS. Don’t have an SL facebook account?

You can actually set up a legitimate “Fictional Character” Facebook page with only an email address (and a mobile number), without a prior Facebook account.

Just make sure you’re not logged in to any Facebook (if any), and head to http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

It will ask you if you have an account or not, just say no and proceed.

New Helpdesk

You’re invited to check out the new LULU Helpdesk:

http://lu2.me/helpdesk

From here you can do several things:

  • getting started: various “Getting Started” articles for the Collar, Cuffs and Gags are there, as well as for Doms and Dommes.
  • search articles: There are over 70 articles already, and more are being added. This Helpdesk has a faster and better search engine than the older one.
  • bug reports: If you can consistently reproduce a problem, it’s probably a bug. Please tell me the steps that I can do (like step 1, step 2, step 3) to reproduce the particular bug – what you observe (any messages, behavior), and what you expected to observe. And the versions of the HUD and gear.
  • feature requests: This is your wishing well. I do have a very long do-list, so no promises anything you suggest will even be done at all. I’d rather do a few things right rather than a lot of things half-baked. But it’s good to dream, right? And if you like a request, vote for it.
  • contact Lulu: Finally, if you can’t find your answers here, or in-group, you can contact me via the form. If you need me to check your stats and such though, please include your SL name!
Tip: If you post anything, pop over to http://gravatar.com and upload your SL profile pic. That’ll show up on the posts.

Devious? Scripter? You are invited!

Are you a scripter with devious ideas? You are invited to make the SL bondage scene a better place by sharing your wicked work with the LULU uHUD (Utility HUD) Open Source community project.

The uHUD is a light-weight by powerful HUD with all sorts of useful features like AO, rezzer, poser, LM-buttons, etc.; and general RLV features like Shared Folders, forcesit, strip and such. It is given away free with every LULU Signature Gear purchase (starting with Collar, will be included with future Cuff and Gag updates).

The uHUD comes with an easy developer API for you to add buttons, create multi-page menus, enforce owner-only buttons, re-apply restrictions after reset etc. with minimal coding. The controller script does all the heavy-lifting for you. You just add ideas. Go on, take a look.

So far, the LULU uHUD is brought to you by:

  • Lulu Ludovico, lead programmer.
  • Chloe1982 Constantine and thinkKink: Multi-core RLV Relay with Owner-Only option, survives reset.
  • Nagi Machinaga: Shared Folders with Lock / Unlock with Owner-Only option, survives reset.
  • Petite Pixie: Rezzable Metal Cage with working doors and anims.
Oh, if you click the the contributors’ names, you will see something different about their Ownership Deeds. There’s a special Grade-A Stock rubber stamp, and if you hover over it, there’s a description of work done.
 
Ongoing uHUD development for upcoming versions:
  • Azrael Coeyman: Lock / Unlock Clothes and Attachments with Owner-Only implementation, survives reset.
  • Nagi Machinaga: AO buttons with sit option.

If you’ve got what it takes to make SL bondage a better place, you’re invited to join the wicked crew. Look forward to hearing from you.

Server Upgrade

Edit: The gear.lululudovico.com servers are now upgraded, and there shouldn’t be any more issues.

If you click your Pet Tag, look at the Public Register or Ownership Deed, or surf to the Collar / Cuff / Gag page, you might get a “Host Server Not Found” or some such message. This only affects addresses starting with “gear.lululudovico.com

Basically I’m upgrading the gear.lululudovico.com servers to serve their pages faster. Unfortunately something went wrong and they sort of fell through the cracks and went offline for some people.

This is temporary, and I’m still working with the server techs to get this fixed.

Meantime, just add “www.” in front of the “gear.lululudovico.com…” address and it’ll work.

Say you click the Ownership Deed and it points to:

gear.lululudovico.com/publicRegisterSearch.php?…

and that fails. Just add “www.” in front, becoming:

www.gear.lululudovico.com/publicRegisterSearch.php?…

Just a temporary pain till we find it again.

LULU Collar Tip: Edit Your (Sub’s) Ownership Deed

Your LULU Collar comes with a gorgeous Ownership Deed pre-filled with all sorts of details. Side tip: hover over various texts and things!

Main tip: did you know you can edit some of the details? 

Some bits can only be edited by the sub (e.g. sub-friends) whereas other parts can only be changed by the sub’s owner (e.g. text regarding being “duly trained”). 

Before you can edit, you need to sign up (top left hand corner), and follow instructions to confirm your account at the payphone in City Noir.

Once that is out of the way, sign in and the “EDIT” option will be available to you. (Click image in post to see what I mean.)
