• Building - SecondLife Steampunk

    Inspiration: The Crystal Egg, by H.G. Wells #STEAM7 #SecondLife

    And now, at last, some time this week to work on my offering for the upcoming STEAM Hunt 7. The theme this round is “Time and Space,” highlighting the work of H.G. Wells, who got a little steampunk love (and a surprisingly effective gender change) in a recent story arc on the aetheric vidshow “Warehouse 13” last season. There was, until a year ago, a little and very grimy-looking shop near Seven Dials, over which, in weather-worn yellow lettering, the name of “C. Cave, Naturalist and Dealer in Antiquities,” was inscribed. The contents of its window were curiously variegated. They…

    Future Dolphin Viewer Will Not Have OpenSim Grid List or commandline parameters – DRAT

    Back after a longish vacation, and went to log in using Dolphin to be greeted with the “You are using an unsupported version of Dolphin Viewer” message – the developer, Lance Corrimal, does update frequently and I had missed several week’s worth (or maybe a month’s worth) of small and large updates. Went to the Dolphin site and noticed this, which I had been expecting given the recent announcements by Linden Labs (I’ve been able to stay current with LL and SL news via aetheric handheld while wandering around the Great Northwest). I’m sorry Lance won’t be able to provide…
