Second Life and Virtual Worlds
Inara tells us about Filling the Cauldron, a photo contest open to everyone. See her article for the details.
In ‘cauldron’ related news Prim Dolls provides information of a more personal nature. Elicio Ember’s father is fighting to recover from a stroke. So, there is a benefit event. See: Ember’s Cauldron: Welcome! Stores from all over the grid are involved.
There is a roll out to the main channel today, Tuesday. This is the package described as: Added a new internal logging output and changes to increase stability and security.
At last week’s Beta Server group meeting they were discussing the next coming package. It will have the change to CDN (Content Delivery Network) of more assets. Something is causing it to fail to grant capabilities to users. I could cam into a failed region but, not enter the region.
For those with VR headsets a treat is coming. The video previews it. Get more details here: ‘Mission: ISS’ is an Impressively Detailed View of Life in Zero Gravity
This might be an excellent use of VR as there is no walking envolved…
As I learn my way around this new forum I am discovering odd little bits here and there.
Did you know there is an Second Life Avatar Vanity thread? It started in early 2011 and is 305 pages long today. It is an interesting collection of avatar pictures over the years.
Looking at the thread you’ll find the forum only allows you to jump ahead 6 pages at a time. To jump more you have to tweak the URL. Look for or add the text: /?page=300 to jump to page 300 – Oct 2014 or change the page number to whatever.
The SL Blog, Forum, Knowledge Base, Answers, and other parts of the “Community” web site are up and running. See: Welcome to Our New Community Platform! While this isn’t a tutorial, it will give you some tips and probably save you some time.
The thinking is the new HOME page provides more information about what is happening in the community. The Blog, Forums, Events, and more are supposed to be easier to find. Well, the Home page has a synopsis of the latest SL Blog post, the most recent SL Forum post, and the Flickr picture of the day… I don’t consider this page particularly revealing as to what is happening in Second Life™. I am curious how helpful you think the page is?
Now that the SL Forum is back we are getting the Deploy notices.
There was no update on the main channel this Tuesday. Wednesday the RC channels got a new package. This in the same line as previous packages:
We can assume that previous logging is leading to places where code can be optimized and processes improved. But, we aren’t hearing much more than that.
