G.P. Visit

Saw my G.P. yesterday. I was only going to arrange an appointment but we went over things from last week. Top two possibilities:

• Seizure, as I suspect; or
• Sleep Apnea (I've very overweight at 130 kg).

I've had the second before. When I was back in Perth I went to Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital for a sleep study and that's what they found. However, he's also got the gears working for an E.E.G. test down at John Hunter, so now I wait and see.

 

Not exactly related, but my G.P. told me that I stank! It may be in the last week I haven't washed as much as I should, and the clothes I was wearing needed cleaning too. But, rather than feel resentful, it's actually a help. I have no reliable sense of smell. Sometimes I can smell things, others I can't, and on others I even have synethesia in that it seems like I smell things through my fingers or toes.

Go figure. 

Two Hat Trick

Laurel made two hats today at the Auric Sandbox. This is significant, not because they are marvels of simulation and accuracy, but because they're the first real attachments I've ever made that could be used for the purpose built. The 2nd hat is a bit bright (it used blue fusion texture). Both just use two prims - the one above is a hemisphere on top of a ring, and the other hat is two tapered cylinders.

   

I find building in 3D a little frustrating. I've used programs like Blender and Sketchup outside SL and I always have the same problem in interpreting visual cues - everything looks right until I rotate the viewpoint and discover that the bits are all out of synch in one dimension or another!

Oh well, 'tis the only way to learn (now to learn how to add a hat band)!
