    #SL Blender dropping COLLADA support – DON’T PANIC, Keep Calm And Carry On

    January 7, 2012 - By 

    As forum poster Chosen Few helpfully noted: After the initial posting, cooler heads prevailed, including Gaia Clary, who’s the Blender/JASS/Primstar maven at Machinimatrix. And then Domino Marama weighed in – the creator of the scripts that so many Second Life creators have relied on (both free and paid versions). Re: Blender dropping COLLADA Reply to Chosen Few – Chosen Few wrote: Nothing’s been decided yet, so nobody panic yet. If worse comes to worst, and the Blender devs do cease official support for COLLADA, I’m sure enterprising SL residents will just create their own COLLADA exporter for Blender, and release…

    #SecondLife Newser: Year End Post Is a Handy Resource

    January 6, 2012 - By 

    Not only that, but it’s timely, factual, and actually reported by a fox, and not the sort of Faux News we usually get from NWN (tip o’ the clockwork hat to Mr. Crap Mariner). Another year is gone to the history books, and before saying goodbye, time for a look back. From Redzone to Mesh to a promising new CEO, Second Life has seen it’s share of problems, developments, to influential people, whom left impacts both big and small, temporary and lasting, some well talked about while others slipped under the radar of the majority.

    One Reason I’ll Update Imprudence: LindaKellie.com Free Stuff

    January 2, 2012 - By 

    I was going to delete Imprudence (and go with Firestorm as my sole alternative to the main Viewer), but decided to install whatever is the latest version instead. I’d forgotten the incredible trove of free Second Life textures, objects, and sculptmaps require Imprudence to upload and import. Drop by her website and donate via Paypal, she certainly deserves it! She gives these resources away for free, with full permissions. FREE ORIGINAL CREATIONS These are all my orginial creations. You can download these and use them in any opensim grid or in Second Life. All files are exported using the Imprudence…

    No Wonder I Wasn’t Getting Group Notices From Builders’ Brewery #SecondLife

    December 31, 2011 - By 

      BUILDER’S BREWERY MASS EJECTION On October 19, 2011, there was a mass ejection of nearly all of our Builder’s Brewery members. We went from 16,800+ members (the largest building help group in SL) down to 400, in the blink of an eye. It was a horrible and tragic loss. We Invite You to Rejoin   THE PERFECT STORM We’re not exactly sure what caused it. It seemed to have started during Linden Lab’s critical server software upgrade that day, along with rolling restarts that came with no warning countdown even. There was tremendous issues across the grid, including inability…

    Selling Parcels In Tintafel UPDATE: 1 Down, 2 To Go

    December 31, 2010 - By 

    I’ve listed the following parcels for sale but of course it takes Search forever to register them as such – and I reduced the price on the first one, which of course is still showing at the original price on the big map. Now I see why so many SLoggers complain about search, in my dim and vaguely informed way. Current prices are set for $L2500 for the 512 parcels and $L5000 for the 1024 but I’m totally open to offers. I just didn’t want them to sell off to bots before some of my neighbors and friends had a…

    A Longer Update Soon

    October 24, 2010 - By 

    I am still here. Still here! And getting ready to leap back inworld. At least there are plenty of Second Life blogs to read in the meantime… and here is a secret code for the Technorati dwarven who insist on validating my ownership of this blog. 8WD6AGM3CEUY take that!
