Bernie Sanders Protested by a Griefer

2016/04/30 by Nalates Urriah

Hamlet at New World Notes ran an article on the protest around a Bernie supporter’s region. See: Bernie Sanders’ Second Life Headquarters Besieged by Trump-Supporting Swastikas, Demons and 120 Ft. Fireworks-Spewing Donald Trump Statue.

I guess we know who Hamlet DOES NOT support. His choice and pretty much understandable considering the current media coverage. However, I find Hamlet’s coverage of the protest rather shallow. It is what I would expect from a Bernie supporter or an anti-Trump person, not that Hamlet is either. But, there is more to this story than Hamlet is telling and I expect omissions from someone with an agenda. Hamlet’s, if he has one, could just be to get clicks or it could be deeper.

Ciaran has a review of an article about Second Life that appears in the French newspaper Le Monde: Absurd, creative and debauched: ten years later, “Second Life” is still alive. Ciaran has written a nice review of the article. So, I’ll skip adding my thoughts as I’m way short on free time today.

Second Life: How Many Polygons Can I Have?

2016/04/25 by Nalates Urriah

When we upload mesh items, clothes or other things, one of the questions is how many polygons can I use? An alternative of that one, how many should I use, is also common.

For the second there is no ‘numeric’ answer for the ‘should’ version. The common answer is: as few as will do the job. But, how many can we use? Is there a limit?

Alchemy has new Beta release out as of Saturday 16, version 4.0.0 Beta 2.

In this release Alchemy gets a built into the viewer AO. There are Windlight changes. There is also a Linux version.

We are told this is a ‘beta’ release to get Alchemy in shape for the next set of Linden updates… The ‘Linden’ releases are coming…(?) so I have little idea what is or isn’t in this release.
