Times change, it’s a new year, I have a huge article to finish here, and I’ve also released some new (intriguing) snippets of programming for Second Life™<=> External Server integration, which I hope to write a bit about as well. But in the mean time, I’ve refreshed the look of the […]
You should have looked at the date first before complaining that the links didn’t work! 🙂 Obviously it was another of my (in)famous April Fool’s pranks, which I try to do (almost) every year. Some years are better than others, because the best pranks are those that are 90% based […]
Of course this was a prank; happy April Fool’s Day, and my apologies to everybody! 🙂
I know, my blog is all smashed up. It’s time do so some spring cleaning and get a new look. Alas, it needs a lot of small tweakings — no WordPress theme is ever “perfect” for my complex environment 🙂 I’ll fix it. Eventually.

A few reasons why the SL 2.0 viewer will revolutionise Second Life (even though many might not like the change) on my other blog 🙂
One skin designer (Namssor Daguerre) and 6 years of the history of skins, on my other blog 🙂 Watch never-released-pictures of Awful Gwyn in BSSE (Before Second Skin Era) 🙂 [UPDATE] My interview with Namssor Daguerre on Ana Lutetia’s blog, which is the #10 most read blog in Second Life. […]
Uh, right. Well, there are indeed a few ways of doing so 🙂 Seriously!
I’ve added a few thoughts on the first-hour experience in Second Life on my other blog. We all know that M Linden’s top priority is dealing with the first-hour experience of newbies and trying to get a better retention rate. Apparently, 99% of all new users leave before a month […]
