It Takes Tuna To Tango

Posted on June 16, 2011 by LelaniJune 16, 2011

Last night’s Tunaverse Odd Ball was really nice; they had Jana Kyomoon DJing her own compositions. She was logged in from the UK (at THREE AM her time) for a 2 hour set and remarked that the sun was coming up as she wrapped up.

I was still having audio issues with the latest Imprudence build (sometimes it works, sometimes not) and after finishing up some more sorting (boring! Relaxing! Worth the effort!) I logged in under Viewer 2 (which has a newer version again).

I like Imprudence but do like some of V2’s features aside from a few niggling points (can’t figure out how to get multiple inventory windows open).

I hailed my Cafe Wellstone chum Nakaima Oh to get a landmark and showed up on the dancefloor as a little steampunk kitty, since I couldnt be bothered to change.

Nice music, nice conversation, took a lot of pictures and uploaded to Flickr. This one shows host/owners Tuna Oddfellow and Shava Nedra dancing while the pretty colors run down the drain behind them.

That’s me in the corner, losing my equilibrium.

At the end of the Odd Balls, they push the magic button and their store full of wild multicolored unisex clothes and hats rebuilds itself inside the psychedelic ballroom. I’ve never seen that before; it was impressive.

Lots more pictures up at my Flickr page

Linden Lab seeks fraud specialists, @SecondLie polishing resume #SL #kidding

Posted on June 15, 2011 by LelaniJune 15, 2011

Oh, wait, this is Fraud PREVENTION. Sorry, @SecondLie, thought it seemed to good to be true.

According to this, I’m qualified – if a year spent in AOHell as a Help Team chatmonkey a decade ago counts.

And now I wonder if SL is being uncharacteristically proactive about online casinos in 3D metaverses…. Naaaaah.

Excellent communication skills, and in particular, to be superb at social interaction whether it be in world, chat, on the telephone or in writing.
Able to multi-task, work under pressure and communicate with multiple individuals at once.
Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team, to integrate with others and to show personal initiative when called for.
A well-developed sense of humor, a thick skin and a positive outlook are all good traits to have.
Flexibility to work weekends, evenings and non-traditional hours.
A second language is an advantage (particularly German, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, French, Korean or Italian).

NPR On The Media covers Second Life documentary

Posted on June 14, 2011 by LelaniJune 14, 2011

I listened to this story and was mostly happy with the coverage and explanations of what Second Life is, and isn’t.

As I’m currently easing back into things inworld (totally snarled up with inventory reorganization stalled), it was an interesting RL take on SL conventions.

Filmmaker Jason Spingarn-Koff has made a documentary about the online virtual world Second Life. His film follows people who’ve gotten hooked on the game, people who use it to make a living, to escape themselves, and to commit infidelity. Bob talks to Spingarn-Koff about his film.

One Thousand 19th Century Books from the British Library

Posted on June 14, 2011 by DhughanJune 16, 2011

Dhughan here, finally had a mo to do a spot of housekeeping inworld; enjoying the many wonderful things from the latest STEAM hunt and thinking about building a home

Egads! The British Library has made 1000 books available on ye olde steampowered iPad!http://i.tuaw.com/2011/06/12/put-a-thousand-books-from-the-british-library-on-your-ipad-for-f/

I just love finding apps like this, and I think you’ll be excited too. The British Library has released 1000 books from its 19th Century collection into a free iPad app that includes novels, historical works, poetry, philosophy and scientific books.

As I was not able to ship my own library over when I emigrated from my green and pleasant land, this might suffice, and I shall consider adding a virtual library to my plans.
