SL 2.0 Beta still running too slowly on your Mac? No worries!

If, like me, you’re not the kind of person that subscribes to ATI’s or nVidia’s RSS feeds and immediately jump to the nearest computer shop as soon as the latest graphics card is released, and spend thousands of dollars every year purchasing the latest and greatest to squeeze more performance out of your computer, read [...]

The new possibilities of the XStreetSL “money API”?

I have to confess, I’m quite excited by the tremendous possibilities of the recent announcement by Linden Lab that XStreetSL now allows easy L$ transfer between the website and the avatar L$ account, without a fuss, and not requiring in-world ATMs at all.

In ‘A Tale Of Two Avatars’, Wagner James Au reports on the discovery that there are two ‘Hamlet Aus’ on the social networking site ‘Avatars United’. Like many things to do with life on the screen, a superficial consideration of this discovery leads to a clear-cut and simple conclusion: There is the real Hamlet [...]

Second Life on Old Laptops

As Linden Lab prepares the last round of bug-fixing before launching the brand new SL 2.0 viewer (will it run on Apple’s iPad? lol), I did a few movies showing off how good Snowglobe actually runs on way old laptops.
This is pretty much a personal discussion I’ve got with NetAntwerp, who refuses to believe that [...]

Predictions for 2010

2009 comes to an end, and after the traditional snowball fight with the Lindens, where residents redefine the concept of physics-induced lag by shooting everything in sight with utter prejudice, it’s time to relax, rethink about what went wrong in 2009, and how 2010 will look like.
