Second Life and Virtual Worlds
The Second Life™ blogosphere is mostly silent on the state of VR in SL. A few blogs are covering the release of a sort of updated CtrlAltStudio viewer, version 1.2.6.43412. This is a viewer based on the Firestorm viewer version 4.6.9 from December 2014.
The viewer does support Oculus Rift CV1… the commercial retail consumer product.
In the US race is being played to divide the country. Watt’s Up With That just published data published by the Washington Post, which they took from national crime stats compiled by government agencies. So, there are facts presented in ways you probably haven’t seen. Also, see data from FBI Table 43, Arrests by Race.
Saying this another way:
This information is generally hard to find. It goes against the agenda pushed by liberals and progressives. The media, and that includes Yahoo News and Google Search, ignore it or bury it making it hard to find. I often have to switch search engines to find articles I’ve read in Drudge and know are out there. That more whites than blacks are killed by police is a fact people react violently to. Have you asked, why?
The Third Party Developer’s meeting ran 28 minutes. Attendance has been low. There is news and word on where the Lindens are focusing their attention.
The RC Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 4.0.7.317394 fixes lots of stuff and has some nice contributions by third parties.
Massively Overpowered has an article up titled: THE DAILY GRIND: WHICH MMO HAS THE BEST EYECANDY? Readers are contributing screen captures. Surprisingly only a couple of images surpass what we have in Second Life™, at least in my opinion.
I decided to put some of my images from SL up in a comment. From following people on Flickr I know there are people with far nicer images.
This is the post user group meeting. This is discussion between the various developers. Matrice Laville, AvaStar programmer, is speaking. Cathy Foil, MayaStar developer, is there.
There are some places where I’ve time adjusted the play back to shorten the play time.
I finally made it to a Bento Meeting… YAY!
There is a second video of the post-meeting. Also for the next couple of weeks Vir Linden is on vacation. There will still be UG meetings. These will be mostly for user-developers to discuss problems. Coyot Linden (not a furry) will be there to pass along issues and question to Vir.
I’m uploading the post-meeting now.
