Second Life: SEX

2016/05/31 by Nalates Urriah

Part of the adult aspect of Second Life™ is sex and with any luck RL too. To participate most people want anatomically correct avatars… (OK: the word ‘correct’ is subject to interpretation.) There is a variety of genitalia makers. I think it is generally accepted that the Xcite!™ brand is the top of the line. I’m not saying there aren’t other great brands. Or that everyone loves Xcite! There are those that hate Xcite!

But, years ago after researching all the various genitalia I decided on Xcite! I bought my first nipples and twat in 2009, about 18 months after I joined SL. Hey, it took me months to decide on just my skin… Those were the days when I had little to no income from SL. So, these were big purchase items. You could’ve rightly called me Scrooge.

Second Life Project Bento 2016-w21

Here is the video of the Project Bento user group meeting. There is a POST meeting video that I am working on. It has good information. Cathy Foil was answering questions from her experience with Bento from building MayaStar Bento support.

Dan Linden, at the Server Beta UG, elaborated a bit about project Bento going live SOON, saying, “And by live, I mean the server component that will allow the upload of Bento meshes animations that have additional bones. The Bento Release viewer is still a ways off. You’ll need a Bento Project Viewer to see Bento content for now.”

The preview grid has been and is a problem for many users. At Thursday’s Beta Server UG meeting some attendees were able to use Last Location as their login destination. For a couple of months that has not been possible.

I can now use Last Location, sometimes. It depends on the region. I cannot

Server Updates

This week (21) we saw a security patch rolled out on the main channels. Without announcement the package had been rolled out to an RC channel earlier, possibly in week 20. It was rushed past the announced Minor internal improvements. No visible functional changes to Second Life package. This package was announced in week 19. It failed to make it out of QA in week 20 because of system problems interrupting testing. So, we would expect it to roll out in week 21. Now it appears it will roll out in week 21.

Second Life: Lindex 2016-05-26

2016/05/26 by Nalates Urriah

There is more and more being said about the Lindex and the current trend in exchange rates. I was curious about trend so I’ve been graphing it.

The raw data comes from Linden Lab. Tyche Shepard collects that information and has since 2009. (See: GridSurvey) The Lab publishes the raw numbers for the last 30 days and charts it for that last 90 days. My chart is a combination of both. The last 5 days have not shown up at Tech’s. The last few days are the most interesting.

The Kokua-4.0.2 viewer updated March 29. Since then there have been significant updates to the SL Viewers. The Kokua blog has posted about the new additions and the status of their 4.0.5 viewer and made a request for testers to help as they bring Kokua up to date. See: Kokua project status update and request of testers.
