Ideas for a Real Shop Name

It's time I come up with a good name for my shop. When I first opened I called the shop "Eyana's" as a temporary solution to being unable to think of a catchy name. At the very least I'd like to come up with a shop logo, but I can't think of anything there either. Anyone out there with suggestions?

Double tap to initiate running

LL is trying to push for a double tap on the forward key to start running. This conflicts with many, many products across the grid and makes adjusting your avatar's position slightly difficult since a double tap might send you running instead of taking that half-step you wanted to take. Vote on this issue to attempt to keep LL from implementing this change.

Havok 4 Jump Differences

There is a considerable difference in jumping in Havok 4 compared to Havok 1. If you have noticed this and would like it changed please vote for this Jira issue. Apparently there is a loss of 1 to 1.5 meters. I found a link to this issue at Daikon Forge.

A comparison can be made on the beta grid where there are still some Havok 1 regions available.

On a related note, I will probably be making a free version of the jump assist gadget to help compensate for the difference for those who enjoy jumping.

Eyana's Ninja HUD version 1.4

I have an update for the Ninja HUD available (finally!). Included in this update are some bug fixes, a new layout and icon style for the HUD to make it more intuitive and take up less screen space, and also a Sky Walking gadget was added.

Unfortunately I cannot get in-world to finish testing the update server and update all my single prim vendors because LL has disabled logins:

"Resident logins have been disabled until our toplevel routing issues have been resolved.

We deeply regret the inconvenience, and we’ll keep you posted."

I'll update this post with a list of bug fixes as soon as I can get in-world and access my notes.
