Topic: The Future of Second Life.The discussion will ONLY be about the future of our current beloved platform ‘Second Life’ and will not venture into the new platform currently under development. Lets hear what LL has planned for Second Life as there is plenty of time for questions about the new platform at a later date. via Firestorm Viewer –…

Whatever happened to virtual world Second Life after the flurry of hype and influx of brands in 2005 and 2006? You dont hear much about it nowadays. Actually, Second Life never went away; it was the media and brands that once flocked to it who melted away. The worlds existing community of around 1m users carried on with their virtual lives much as they had before. via Virtual world Second Life to be reincarnated, with Oculus Rift | Technology | theguardian.com. Some on SLUniverse poo-poohed my post of this story there, since I thought it was funny to add a…

I almost forgot, there’s another wild show by the secretive duo that may or may not be 2 daffy French robots. They’re playing in Steelhead St Helens tonight at 9pm SLT. Kind of late for me, but I’ll stay up as late as I can. I wonder… maybe it’s time to bust out the Giant Racing Snail and slime the dance floor. The stream will be carried by Krypton Radio, I think – I happened to tune in while working on something for the monkey, and heard Willow Leafstorm making an on-air announcement about the event. Tune your media player…

I’ve put all of my animated folding mesh screens on sale, for the most part about 50% off! In honor of Cherry Viewing Season (the loveliest season in Japan and the Japan-themed sims) this one is a special favorite: “Sakura Sunset” Folding Mesh Room Screen – “Sakura Sunset,” on sale at the Second Life Marketplace (click image to see listing). The image is based on a screenphoto taken at sunset in one of the Japanese-themed sims of Second Life, with a bit of arty post-processing. The screen is moddable and the package includes the original image. “Dancing Oiran” Another piece…

It is possible to get Photoshop filters up and running in The GIMP. It just requires a little legwork to set up. This has been tested to work on The GIMP 2.6.7, which is the latest release at the time of this post. I can’t comment or advise on any earlier version, but the good news is GIMP is freeeeeee, so upgrading won’t hurt your wallet. via How to: Photoshop Filters in The GIMP | Random Ramblings, Tip & Tricks. This is where I stopped for the night – after installing several new GIMP scripts, including one that was written…

Hey! I got some press! Whaddya know! SL Newser image link The third shop on Steelhead is the dry goods shop found at Settlement 601 – St Helens Dry Goods Frontier Supplies, Steelhead St Helens (68, 156, 38). St. Helens Dry Goods is Shop #117 in the Hunt. They offer a very good cup of expresso to visitors, which I enjoyed while I looked around. They have all the items you might expect in a dry goods store, including a little furniture, some lamps, a variety of hats, and even gentlemen’s walking sticks. Plan to spend a few minutes looking…

Good lord. It couldn’t have been a more rookie mistake – perms weren’t set right on an item that I recently sold. Fortunately, the purchaser contacted me to let me know. I assumed (incorrectly) that doing a global perms reset would fix it. Nope. Then I started looking for the problem in the wrong place – wasted time looking for the original textures and sculpt map. Nope. It was the plain old “Next owner” checkboxes on the first edit tab. WHAT? TOO SIMPLE! My problems and errors must be more complex than that! While futzing around (the typist insisted on…
