I'm glad the gas will not be disturbed, as I believe that crunching noise underfoot was someone's spirit lamp. *cough*

Of course, I am laying the pipes under the city as we speak, The new location in the Palisade should help feed the city better.

Might there be service to the Academy district in the future?

I hope there will be no disturbance in the gaslines to Caledon. I'd hate for my loft to get cold while you are making the move.

For the next few days I am piping gas in from the main land so don't worry any one with gas heat will still be warm. Otherwise stay tuned.

How about "Imbibo vos vas permaneus, plantus scaphius novus"? *grin*

Hmm. I think I need someone to Latin-ise "If you take the last cup, brew a fresh pot!" for me.

Profile Information

What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
I just have a love for all things mechanical and the romance of times gone by.
Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
After fighting the Russians in the doomed November Uprising and the death of my dear friend Countess Emilia Plater I left Poland and wandered around for several years. Finlay I found a place to call home here in New Babbage. Occasionally you can find me dressed in my old uniform riding around Babbage on my trusted stead. I occupy my time with photography and literature. Stop by my gallery in the canals and perhaps I will share some poetry with you.

In RL I am a Photographer, writer, Tool and Die maker and I hold a BA in History.
Do you have a website?

Gatsby Szuster translator,

After leaving the company of my fellow knights I hath set forth moving north through Byzantium making my way through to Europa. Though on my tenth day of my journey a heavy fog set upon me in a mysterious steppe. I seemed to be lost in the fog for many days when I saw the outline of a castle. As I approached a Sire G… Continue

Gatsby Szuster translator,

I hath journeyed for many years in search of this “Holy Cog of Antioch” the cog used in the hoist of St John the Evangelist's fishing boat. It is said he who possess the Holy Cog will have interchangeable parts for all thy contraptions. My journey though is coming to an end as I fear my wounds received from a certain… Continue

Mysterious Discovery Under My Gallery!!!

It seems all the work on our new sewer system has unearth the ruins of a medieval church. My foundation started settling and when I did some work to repair it I found an opening. I climbed down some boards and found the catacomb of a a church. I immediately called Miss Sera who was at the Salon and she brought along Jasper who happened to be passing by. We found three intact tombs as well as a book telling of the the adventures of a Sir Steamalot who was a knight of the "Hexagonal Table."

It se… Continue

New Babbage Cavalry First Action Report


The New Babbage Cavalry fought in its first action Sunday night against the forces holding our Militia Headquarters hostage. Mr. Jasper Kiergarten had just delivered the newly manufactured carbines to me earlier in the day, and Ms. Viv Trafalgar delivered the finely designed uniforms at the same time.

Our scouts reported that militia headquarters had been taken.

We mustered at the stable along with the other militia members and made our way to Wheatsto… Continue

I just browsed through your photography website! I am SO tempted to push you towards Tammy Connolly in-world, the owner of the Poetry in Pixels gallery. It's a wonderful place, and she often has open-calls for new artists. Photography displays are not difficult to do in SL. Give that some thought!
