I don't know how to put this without sounding lame, because I'm actually really excited. I've been looking for a solution to a social network for myself for - literally - years now, and for OpenSim (any maybe Second Life) users as well since I launched OSC. And you might remember I started TAOS.name last year (and screwed it up ...

As ...

Hi, ich werde am 16.07.11 beim Monatstreffen des AUGE e.V. (Apple User Group Europe e.V.) im Bürgerhaus Bockenheim in Frankfurt am Main über OpenSim sprechen. Das Treffen ist im Clubraum 1 (3. Stock) und beginnt um 14:00 Uhr; ich selbst bin so ab 15:15 Uhr dran und wir reden dann ein bisschen über peer-to-peer, OpenSim zuhause, was man nettes damit anstellen ...

Okay, I watched the designing worlds debate about "Content Protection in Open Sim" on treet.tv for the second time now, after having attended it in-world as well, and I have to write a little. There are many issues I have with that show, and if it's anything representative about SL, then with that as well; it's american-centric, the attendees for ...

Well met, Taotics. I'm very excited to announce the upcoming events this weekend. First, we have the HGAC meeting at 22:00 UTC, where we will start exploring HG 1.5 i6 compatible grids. To attend, you will need to have an account on a grid that's compatible to HG 1.5 i6 (labeled "Veritas" on the Hypergates Network); optionally, you can create an ...

Well met, Taotics. As part of our TGIB classes, we'll be holding a workshop on terrain creation and terraforming on next Sunday, 27th of February, at 23:15 UTC (3:15 PM SLT). This event is part of the "How To" Series of the Content Cooperative, which graciously invited me to hold it, along with another class on skins on the 27th or ...

Well met, our mission in year two of TGIB is community. To this end, we've already introduced several means to stay in touch and connected. I have to admit, the website is getting quite complex with all the different things added to it, and new users might probably feel quite lost among the many possibilities. Also, most people might not browse ...

[slickr-flickr id="1578921@N24" group="y"] Want to model for TGIB? Want to show what you did with our creations? Want to share where you found things made by us? Well, now you can! Following El's Flickr Venture, we created a flickr group for TGIB creations. Posting snapshots to this group will show them in a slideshow at the according creation, if you used the ...

At Pathfinder's office hour today we were (among other things) discussing the necessity of real-time classes, and while I prefer tutorials (because they can be read over again, and gone through in your own time), I had to admit that classes offer some feedback and interaction that lacks in tutorials, even when you can comment on those. So, I'm planning on ...
