New World Notes is one of the 100,000 more traffic-intense sites on the Web!

I’ve been a great fan of Alexa over a decade ago when this traffic-ranking site appeared, under different forms, and with a different purpose. Now, among the 2 or 3 billion sites in the world, it shows the pretty traffic these sites have.
New World Notes recently made it to the “top 100,000″, meaning they now [...]

New Tabloid Media in SL — The AvaStar Launches

A new SL newspaper — another one in PDF format — has recently been launched in SL. The AvaStar, with the motto “Your World. Your Voice.”, is published by Gregor Ginsberg (chairman of German publishers Bild.T-Online AG & Co. KG), and is a professional tabloid newspaper for the residents of Second Life. With the latest [...]

Happy Holidays!

Oh Christmas Tree….Oh
Originally uploaded by Tigerzeye.
At this point, I think it’s appropriate to wish you all, faithful readers, the season’s greetings, have a very happy holiday, hopefully with your friends and family, and quote my own father on this: “Enjoy yourselves and don’t spend too much”
As for my wishlist for 2007, Linden Lab [...]

First Ever Questions

This started as a “joke” between Mentors (volunteers in Second Life that are willing to spend some time with new users and answer their questions…), but soon it became a FAQ of its own. Yes, most of these are indeed “first ever questions” that almost everybody starts to ask as soon as they rez on [...]

Mandatory reading: Cory Linden’s Town Hall Meeting

Back in early 2006, Cory & Philip kindly gave us a preview of what they would be doing during 2006 in terms of development of its platform. Everything except in-world HTML (Havok was not on the list) was deployed, mostly during the summer of 2006, thus giving us all a good confidence that Linden Lab [...]

Secrets to Success in Second Life®

I’m have been accused of being an “intellectual” because I have a blog and actually use a spell checker to verify my ortography
So, to make sure nobody takes me seriously, I have become suddenly inspired by reading yet another Dilbert book by Scott Adams, and, blatantly copying his style, here go a few [...]

CTRL-Q: Quantum Time

Extropia DaSilva is back with another essay, and this time, she’ll be “going quantic” on Second Life. Explaining complex science using Second Life as an example, she’ll take you through a voyage through time and space, making you realise that “common sense” and “quantum mechanics” cannot be employed in the same sentence together. I hope [...]

Blog under update — please wait

[UPDATE 2007-01-07] Prokofy Neva and Torley Linden (thanks guys!) reported that the comments were broken — they would get some sort of redirection to the homepage and “lose” the whole comment. Sorry to everybody who was unable to post any comments. I found out what was seriously wrong: I had two conflicting OpenID plugins trying [...]

Upgrading Second Life, and Why It Is So Hard To Do So

There are so many uh “professionals” claiming that all Linden Lab does is incompetently handled and amateurish and that they don’t know a thing about how to deliver updates, or maintain a grid, or develop software overall…
Well, I also claim my share of professionalism Yes, I’ve worked for ISPs dealing with a few [...]
