[Update (again) Since 2015, the L$ Authorized Reseller Program has been cancelled] [Update 2013/05/07 6 PM GMT — Linden Lab has just announced the launch of the Linden Dollar (L$) Authorized Reseller Program] Software features turn into products Nine years ago, Linden Lab revealed a series of new features for […]
I wrote recently about my experiences in trying to fit a whole Web environment running WordPress into a tiny virtual private server. Well, from my notes, I sort of wrote a long-ish tutorial about it — who knows, it might be useful, if you’re considering leasing a virtual private server […]
An interesting series of interviews run by Aria E Appleford has given me some food for thought. Aria has interviewed old residents of Second Life® who have given up on the virtual world. She asked them about their engagement — what they mostly did, why they remained for so long, and, […]
It’s not merely a question; it has been turned into a meme. Even though I’m usually against memes, who would I be if I didn’t question my own dogmas? 🙂 So, as suggested by Strawberry Singh, and inspired by Inara Pey who took Strawberry’s challenge, here are my own answers. Be sure to get […]
Once more I go deep down troubled waters and remain a bit away from everything interesting… Well, at least the interesting things about Second Life® and OpenSimulator, of course 🙂 In fact, in my spare time — which is pretty much the little time I can afford to spend away […]
What’s up with Linden Lab? For years we have been complaining that they don’t fix things quickly enough; or, when they do, we complain that they aren’t adding anything exciting to Second Life. When they actually come up with something new, we complain they’re not “working with the community”, or […]
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.
So Linden Lab is patiently trying to squeeze some needed cash by placing ads on their websites. Ciaran Laval seemed to have been the first to notice that Google Ads now appear on many of LL’s websites, and Hamlet Au picked up the story, quickly followed by many others. At […]
As some of you know, I have been busy helping to prepare the launch of the Lisbon 1755 project on Kitely. I’m not a modeller, nor a historian, so my work for this project is reduced to shifting content from one grid to the other (my own scripting contributions are […]
DreamObjects Recently, my favourite web hosting provider, DreamHost, announced that they would launch a new cloud-based storage service, DreamObjects. It’s currently in Beta, and free during that period, so, as part of my volunteering effort to try it out, I hacked a WordPress plugin to take advantage of DreamHost’s cloud-based storage. This […]
Several years ago, I was part of a group of amateur writers. It used to be pretty organised by then — there were many RL meetings with discussions, newsletters, published books and so forth — but one topic was the favourite of many: should a writer strive always for originality, […]
Every now and then, Linden Lab manages to surprise us in a positive way. After the big “splash” of Project Shining, promising all kinds of miracles — and yes, at least the HTTP Project Viewer is a small miracle in terms of texture downloading speed — we now heard the […]
While I was drooling about Linden Lab’s latest developments — which will be covered on a subsequent article — I got an email by Online Media Daily Europe about an article featured on Red Rocket Media announcing that a lot of UK Facebook accounts were actually held by… dogs. In fact, […]
