Hell freezes over!

No, this is not about Europeans having now to pay Value Added Tax to Linden Lab — I’ve covered it on SLOG already — but something far more unexpected: Havok4 Is Here On The Beta Grid!
In a completely unexpected turn of events, it seems that a “secret team of Linden developers” have finally managed to change the [...]

Dealing with the Second Life bugs with humour

Just read Cat Gisel’s poem. It’s hilarious!

Commemorating three years of democratic self-government in Second Life

It seems like yesterday, when a group of about 60 people or so opened up their self-governed, democratic community in the old mainland snow sim of Anzere. Three years later, in spite of constant predictions to the contrary, Neufreistadt (Confederation of the Democratic Simulators) and their sister group on the mainland, Port Neualtenburg (Funadama), are [...]

Sculptie morphing magic!

Thanks to Rad Hand for having demonstrated Vlad Bjornson’s fantastic animated, morphed scupties. How does this work? It’s very clever: you send a QuickTime stream that has several sculpties in sequence. These, in turn, will make the sculptie’s texture be changed as the QT stream enters your computer. As sculpties are generated on your computer [...]

The multi-cultural Second Life® and penetration rates

Encouraged by Hamlet Au’s article on how Japan is growing its number of SL residents, I thought I should do some statistics as well, just to keep everybody amused in what you can find out about Second Life.
Hamlet has this breakthrough announcement that “Japan Residents Surpass Europe”. What he really wishes to say is that [...]

“I am who I am”

So, identity validation is upon us “soon”. Having let the message sink in — after all, it’s no surprise, Linden Lab has been talking about it for quite a while — it’s time to try to understand the implications. In other words, like LL likes to call it, a post-mortem analysis of what this [...]
