Second Life – Lost Password Preparation 

by

Have you ever lost/forgot your Second Life™ password? I have for my Alts. To recover you can file a ticket and they will send you a password recovery email.

In the email you must do 1 of 3 things.

  • Answer your secret question.
  • Name three people in your friends’ list.
  • List payment amounts made to the Lab.

Avoid being tricky with your secret question answer. You have to remember your answer and spell it correctly. Or… write it down. Duh!

If you haven’t copied down some of your friend’s names, do so now. Misspelled names don’t count.

Purchases… seems your annual US$72 is not an acceptable answer as it is too easy to guess. If I forgot my password every week I might record each payment amount. Otherwise, remembering amounts is way too much trouble. Memory is useless. But, you can look in PayPal and get the payment amounts!

Second Life – Are there Aliens Abducting Residents? – Adult

by

Don’t believe in UFO’s? This Second Life™ experience may change your mind. You most certainly will be abducted. To just jump into the experience, follow this link: Alien Abduction. If you search for it in SL Search look for Abducted by Aliens.

Abducted

I’m not sure what it is about Earth women, but aliens are obsessed with us. That makes Abducted by Aliens a very adult sexual experience. So, while I have made this page SFW, if you jump to any images, they are probably NSFW.

The owner is a long time SL resident named Patrick Playfair.  He tells me, “My 13th SL birthday is July 19th, I started in 2004…” He is the current owner of Starbase Magellan, The Abducted by Aliens Experience, The Tunnels of Zandor and the Playfair Ranch (Patrick tells me the Ranch has been replaced but didn’t mention by what ).

Second Life News 2017 w29

There was a restart this Tuesday morning. My region restarted about 3 AM SLT. The Grid Status report shows restarts running from 3 AM to 9:19 AM.

The main grid channel is running #17.07.11.327548. This change is the Operating System update for the servers. The Lindens say there are no changes to the simulator software in this update. It has taken some work to get the simulators working with this update. The only problem I know about is the broken song boards. It is to do with how HTTP requests are formatted.

So, most of us won’t be dealing with the change.

Second Life – Rights Policy Change

by

Lately, we have had more articles and videos appearing that deal with or touch on Rights Infringement, theft. Hamlet on New World Notes posted Linden Lab Updates IP Enforcement Policies To Make DMCA Process Stricter.

He points us to a significant warning now included in the Policy statement.

If you are unsure whether you hold rights to a particular work, or whether the content you are reporting is infringing your legal rights, please consult an attorney before filing a DMCA Notice. Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity is infringing.

I agree with Hamlet the purpose is more to scare than actually bite. But, it certainly opens the door for the Lab to go after those filing frivolous DMCA notices.
