Login2Life Documentary

by

You’ll be seeing the blogosphere for Second Life covering Login2Life, a documentary video that runs an hour and 26 minutes. This video starts in English and English is scattered throughout. It uses English subtitles where needed. About 87 minutes is in various languages. I think I hear; German, French, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, and …

This is at least ‘R’ rated… my opinion. Not pornographic. But, adult sex is a part of the documentary. It’s well handled.

Login2Life is not the fast paced videos I am used to seeing that Drax makes about Second Life. It is a little slow paced for me. But, this isn’t something to be squeezed into something like Drax’s 5 minute vignettes.

Check it out. Please watch it on YouTube and give it a thumbs up.

IDOBATA 2.0 Freeware for Second Life

by

This is a tool for turning Skype and Second Life Viewer text chat to speech. The idea is that with this running you can multi-task and not miss business IM’s and chats in Second Life. This is apparently a two way chat.

Yuzuru’s English is a bit broken. But, way better than my Japanese, which I don’t speak.

This is freeware. You can get it here: IDOBATA 2.

Adobe in the Cloud

by

In Second Life we tend to use open source products. But, some people use the professional products from Adobe, Photoshop being the best known. I think it has no equal. There are other image editors. But, Photoshop (PS) is the industry standard. If you plan to work for a gaming or other company that works with images, you have to know PS. But, Adobe is making big changes that will radically affect casual users.

Adobe is changing how they deliver their software. Until now they have sold their software in a package with a perpetual license. I can still use an old copy of CS3, CS4, CS5.5, and CS6. (CS = Creative Suite) It isn’t cheap. A new version of PS costs US$800. Updates can be $300 to $400 per version come every 12 to 24 months. People can find PS on Amazon and in stores for $650. But, quite often that is the ‘basic’ version not the ‘Extended’ version.
