Things about SL
Marine Kelley has announced the release of a new version of the RLViewer. It has a couple of bug fixes for problems found in the previous version. See: RLV 2.9.10.
If you have been wondering where the next release of the Alchemy Viewer is, we now know: Fallon, Nevada. The intrigue is dark and the team could use your help… See Cinder Roxley’s plea for help: We’re Not Dead OK… it isn’t all that dark or desperate nor was the NSA involved, but it is … Read more
Monty Linden posted an update in the Technology forum. See it here: Second Life Network Architecture. Quoting: To the left (in red) are pieces of the viewer.

A couple of things have caught my interest this past week. The Linden Monthly Meet Up held at Basilique and the discussion about the Altas Obscura article.

From the Third Party Viewer UG meeting we get a little news. It was another short meeting.
RC Second Life Big Bird Viewer version 3.7.29.301361 – This viewer has fixes for some attachment-related issues. The Lindens are not anticipating any difficulties with this viewer, so this one should be moving to promotion as the default viewer soon.
There are some server side fixes for attachment problems that are in the works.
I like to question my thinking, prejudices, biases, and beliefs. Too many in our society have no skepticism and to be non-PC; are simply gullible. So, I really question what I hear people saying. When Hamlet says we have all these pornographic regions devoted to sex and violence…. Do we?
Ricco Saenz wrote an article that is right in line with the irreverent questioning I enjoy. See: A pornographic tour. Ricco takes a look at many of the adult regions that Hamlet pointed to to support his statement that sex is big in Second Life™. Ricco provides a deeper look at Hamlet’s porno regions. I think it will revise your thinking on how pornographic the adult regions are… well, aren’t.
