Hi everyone, I just got home from work, and wanted to get this out asap: Without much fanfare, but this time with a little more advance notice, SpotOn announced to hold a discussion on "SpotON3D ‘s Patent Pending Plug-in: Is it a threat or a benefit?" tomorrow, Friday, August 19th at 5pm SLT on their expo in Second Life (at http://slurl.com/secondlife/SpotON3D%20Biz%20Solutions/128/126/53/). As ...

Wie bereits angekündigt, war ich am 16.07. in Frankfurt und habe ein bisschen über OpenSim gesprochen. Einen Videomitschnitt gibt's jetzt hier: (As already mentioned, I was in Frankfurt on 16th of July and talked a little about OpenSim. Here's a video recording of the event:) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/embed/GiIrgPl-Znk[/youtube]

In the previous part we learned that all gamers cheat, Linden Lab aren't real people, and the OpenSim community should support its own trolls. We still don't know who "they" are, and it's not clear if we still want to know, but there are still more than 40 minutes to go, and with the wild turns of Tessa's talk, who ...

In part 2 we learned that over 9000 600.000 is not very much, that you don't deserve decent wages when you're dedicated to the 3D web, and Tessa can speak in tongues. Will we ever find out who "they" are and, moreover, will the mysterious viewer exploit be found out? We will see with origami. (CC-by Suicide Girls) After Stevan fell asleep ...

In Part 1 a cat got skinned, several patents were filed, and the grandmother of the 3D web talked about how you can copyright your work for only 35.- $. I continue my notes here where I last left off, and will see if we ever can find out who "they" are and if other pressing questions may get answered ...

This is another coverage of the Google+ thing. Please skip if you hate it. SL users are now starting to get aware of diaspora*, and because I've been busy with that software before, I'd like to issue some word of warning: Diaspora* is, concept-wise, right on spot on what a social network software should be doing. However, it is extremely complicated ...

Sorry, I need to write something about the whole Google+ thing again. I know, you've probably heard enough about it and are quite sick of it, so have some tits artistic nudity before we start: (See, I implemented an age verification disclaimer to the site, to make it more family friendly. Cool, eh?) Got your attention back? Good. The current debate about Google+ probably ...

My friend, Opensource Obscure, has been banned from Google+, apparently because Google+ requires you to use what we call your "real life identity". Now, this sets us back again. I don't really know why they picked him of all the hundreds of SL users who signed up for the service using their SL names, but it shows that "WE" ((WE, ...

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 ...
