There was a roll out to the main channel this week, Tuesday. This is another of those minor internal improvements.
We stand for pee – Nal: It’s a new world…
There is no new package rolling to the RC channels this week. So, all servers on the main grid are running the same package. Continue reading
The Second Life™ blogosphere is mostly silent on the state of VR in SL. A few blogs are covering the release of a sort of updated CtrlAltStudio viewer, version 1.2.6.43412. This is a viewer based on the Firestorm viewer version 4.6.9 from December 2014.

The viewer does support Oculus Rift CV1… the commercial retail consumer product. Continue reading
In the US race is being played to divide the country. Watt’s Up With That just published data published by the Washington Post, which they took from national crime stats compiled by government agencies. So, there are facts presented in ways you probably haven’t seen. Also, see data from FBI Table 43, Arrests by Race.
Percentage of races killed by police.
Saying this another way:
This information is generally hard to find. It goes against the agenda pushed by liberals and progressives. The media, and that includes Yahoo News and Google Search, ignore it or bury it making it hard to find. I often have to switch search engines to find articles I’ve read in Drudge and know are out there. That more whites than blacks are killed by police is a fact people react violently to. Have you asked, why?
The Third Party Developer’s meeting ran 28 minutes. Attendance has been low. There is news and word on where the Lindens are focusing their attention.

The RC Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 4.0.7.317394 fixes lots of stuff and has some nice contributions by third parties. Continue reading
Massively Overpowered has an article up titled: THE DAILY GRIND: WHICH MMO HAS THE BEST EYECANDY? Readers are contributing screen captures. Surprisingly only a couple of images surpass what we have in Second Life™, at least in my opinion.
I decided to put some of my images from SL up in a comment. From following people on Flickr I know there are people with far nicer images.
This is the post user group meeting. This is discussion between the various developers. Matrice Laville, AvaStar programmer, is speaking. Cathy Foil, MayaStar developer, is there.
There are some places where I’ve time adjusted the play back to shorten the play time.
I finally made it to a Bento Meeting… YAY!
There is a second video of the post-meeting. Also for the next couple of weeks Vir Linden is on vacation. There will still be UG meetings. These will be mostly for user-developers to discuss problems. Coyot Linden (not a furry) will be there to pass along issues and question to Vir.
I’m uploading the post-meeting now.
Hamlet at New World Notes is pointing out David Rowe has a SL VR Viewer working. The page Hamlet linked to is out of date. The new news is in the comments where David says,

Just tried LL’s Rift viewer and, well, it’s surprisingly un-good. It’s like the graphics are being fed from the wrong framebuffer object or the pipeline is being misconfigured when you switch into HMD view. Intentional or bugs? I suppose time will tell. The graphics should be able to be so much better (even if understandably the FPS isn’t so good)!

Note Jo Yardley’s comment about being able to use Vorpx with a regular viewer (i,e., like Firestorm, Alchemy, or LL’s regular viewer) to view Second Life in your Rift. I haven’t tried it myself but am told it can be used.
