Second Life Will Be The Matrix
Malignant Narcissist @ November 27, 2007 # No Comment Yet
News about a Japanese university getting Second Life to run on the power of brain waves only, first broke a couple months ago. At the time, I watched a video that was made of a person “thinking” his way around Second Life. The video really wasn’t anything special. It showed an avatar walking (start and […]

How Fast is Prompt?

A while ago, I was invited to take a support satisfaction survey for Second Life. I, of course, put check marks in the boxes that best answered the question they asked and I ticked the radio buttons that best applied. One question on the survey stuck out in my mind as a little unusual.
What do […]

I Don’t Believe You, Lindsay!

While I’ve played around with virtual banks and stock markets in Second Life, I never deposited enough money in them to go off yelling and screaming if the bank were to go bankrupt or disappear. There’s been quite a bit of “running off” over the past 6 months by various avatars and virtual companies, though. […]

I got so excited when I saw this… then I saw the URL. Oh well, I suppose it sounded too good to be true, anyway. From the story (found here):
“There has been growing concern that Second Life is undermining confidence in the U.S. Dollar, by using their competing currency known as the Linden,” said one […]

I Know! Let’s Blame It On SL!!
Malignant Narcissist @ November 25, 2007 # No Comment Yet
I love blaming things on SL, or Linden Lab, or various people within SL. They deserve it! Honestly, though, they only deserve it when they deserve it. Making things up or making connections that just have no place, in order to write something “bad” about somebody is just plain stupid and un-called for.
I can understand […]

LL’s Last Minute Treat
Malignant Narcissist @ November 21, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Amazingly, Linden Lab announced a WindLight First Look Viewer update as a “last minute treat” before Thanksgiving. Not so amazingly, most people can’t even log on to Second Life, right now. Earle Swenson says:
“But more, with all the login and performance issues of this last week, a treat would be STABILITY!!!!
If you have people working […]

Optimists and Pessimists
Malignant Narcissist @ November 21, 2007 # One Comment
Everybody knows the old question about “are you a glass half full or a glass half empty person”. Answering that question will determine whether you’re an optimist or pessimist. Well, when it comes to Second Life, you’re either one or the other. There’s no way to be on the fence when it comes to your […]

Kean Kelly thinks SL Sucks too. Many different reasons and many different “solutions”.
Why should paying users have to come up with solutions and workaraound to make things work the way they’re supposed to?
It simply amazes me how much crap people will put up with and how much they’ll go through, just to have it all […]
