    Dhughan is using this excellent Inventory Organizer Box to sort out his #SecondLife inventory. So am I. http://bit.ly/hd4Dzn via @addthis # Heard about @charliesheen bombing in Detroit on WXRT.

    Alien Voices | Journey to the Center of the Earth on Radio Riel

    Oh, I love, love, LOVED this series when it was first broadcast, I highly recommend it! In the 1990s Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie collaborated on a series of audio dramas of 19th century SF. Today Riel Theatre presents part one of their rendition of Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Based on the original novel, we follow the German Professor Otto Lindenbrok and his nephew Axel. Unlike the better known movie with James Mason, there is no evil descendent of Arne Saknussem, no Atlantis, no widow of a competitor and sadly, no Gertrude. Still, it’s…

  • Second Life - Virtual Live Music - Virtually Anything

    Economic Stimulus Needed In #SecondLife? Some musings.

    News of yet another closure in Second Life, by way of NWN: Molaskey’s Pub, a popular Second Life location for live music, is closing at the end of this month, unless a buyer steps in. This sad news comes from staff member Nasus Dumart Sue Martin Mahar IRL, who tells me despite having 1000 group members, and being listed on Linden Lab’s official Destination Guide, they’re unable to sustain it… via New World Notes: Sim Deathwatch: Molaskey’s Pub, Popular Spot for Live SL Musicians, Closing This Month Unless a Buyer Steps In.

    More Wonderful Things

    Dhughan here yet again, still digging into my STEAM4 folders and finding wonderful things. This is just what happens when you encounter things as you open boxes and think “Hmmm, this would be quite unique if I add a little of this and that…” Et voila! A clockwork Gentleman of Japan, complete with fan and a clockwork facial tattoo. Needs only an obi, which I know I can get with another such outfit at either Ancient Tree Kimono or Aki-Kimono, a shop that was on the hunt. Sometimes when going through hunt items, sadly, a gift will not work with…

    More STEAM4 Marvels and Wonders

    Yes, yes, Dhughan here. The prizes for “best hunt gifts” were announced at the Wrap Party on April 1st, and they were: 1st place, Gold Trophy, Mayah Parx for EPIC TOY FACTORY 2nd place, Silver Trophy, Janeel Kharg for ANKH MORPORK 3rd place, Bronze Trophy, Emedea Morgenstern for Rag Dollz 4th place, Copper Trophy, Lenny Kenyon for HAVEN TOWNSHIP 5th place, Iron Trophy, Oriolus Oliva for GOLDEN ORIOLE I’m only about 20 percent through with sorting (and it’s a very slow process as I’m constantly getting quite distracted by all the marvels and wonders I’m finding. However, I see that…

    About to finish #SteamTheHunt under a pseudonymn 🙂 and vastly irritated at the way some shops messed with the rules #SecondLife # Specifically, adding multiple stages or hints, laying traps for those using advanced browser settings, or failing to provide a hint #SL # My biggest peeve: using so many scripts in their private sim that it crashes every time the camera moves, with extra hoops too. #SecondLife # 6 attempts later, I will now remove all scripted doo-dads and animations and try transporting via map reference . Relax, it's #secondlife # Using map teleports, minimizing lag, local transporters, and…

    [#SVC-6691] Teleports FAIL Still Happening! #SLRLbridge Trapped Me For 8 Hours In The Dark!

    Once again Linden Labs’ shocking inattention to critical service issues threatens virtual life as we know it; the teleport system that bridges the SL-RL interface is STILL hopelessly borked. What’s more, it’s been logged, voted on, watched, discussed, and Twittered, and is yet to be worked on. Unacceptable. I had a similar experience today to this Resident’s problem: I’m still experiencing this issue in version 2.6. I just attempted to use it to teleport to work this morning however the same problem is preventing me from doing so. Now because of this problem I’m going to have to get out…
