Some proposals for making the new permission system work

Wow, this is really a “bomb” that LL has planted among the community… it’s going haywire right now, but the cool thing is, we have a very long fuse, and lots of time to disarm it. Thanks to Cory for warning us in advance!
I have very mixed feelings about the current proposal, and [...]

The Linden Vision – Weak Copyrights in the Metaverse

It’s still fresh in my mind, so I guess it’s time to write some thoughts on it, and then I’m going to see if Lordfly Digaridoo’s SL Economy Analysis Blog” already has some insight on the Town Hall meeting yesterday with Cory Linden. I like his economic insights very much, and as one of the [...]

The Luddites strike back!

Both inworld and out there, I have been busy spreading Philip’s vision. The preliminary results are quite fascinating, and I do hope that Linden Lab™’s own marketing department has had much better experiences.

So far, what we [...]

After a discussion on the rating system with Moon Adamant, we have figured out an interesting “alternative” rating system. It has a slight problem of “computational resources” required.
We both feel there is a need to “extra-rate” someone very special to you. Since ratings are over-abused, [...]

How Second Life works (techically speaking)

First, a disclaimer…
I do not have any type of connection to Linden Lab (wish I had, though ). Information collected about how the system works has three main sources: looking at the logs (SecondLife.log), reading the forums, and talking to older residents (who sometimes have exchanged ideas with Jeff, Ben, or even Philip [...]

My interpretation of Philip Linden`s vision

Some of us have been privileged to listen “live” (or through the many repeaters) what Philip Linden told SL’s population at large about his visions and the questions he answered for the residents, at the last Town Hall meeting on October, 1st. You can read the official transcript to give you an idea.Personally (and this [...]
