Second Life and Virtual Worlds
We are inundated with media reports of extreme heat and the disaster of manmade global warming. But, why aren’t we hearing these stories in the media:
Marine has released another couple of updates to the RLV viewer, 2.9.19 and 2.9.19.1. Also, there are some recommended changes to RLV itself. Marine has added some additional commands to the RLV process. See: RLV 2.9.19.

Today is the day. NIVIDA releases the GTX1060 @ MSRP US$249. Every place I’ve looked they are sold out.
The new GTX1060 has the same performance as the GTX980 but, for less money, even at eBay prices. At least for now. It takes time for those on eBay to catch up with the market.
There is a fun picture and article about an interesting swimsuit, the sharkini. See: How to Wear A Sharkini.

Just too fun not to mention plus I like image art of D&D.
There was a roll out to the main channel this week, Tuesday. This is another of those minor internal improvements.
There is no new package rolling to the RC channels this week. So, all servers on the main grid are running the same package.
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.
