Second Life and Virtual Worlds
I’ve consistently had problems getting to the Bento User Group Meetings. Today between arriving late because of RL work and ADITI acting up, I gave up trying to get there. Try again next week.
I couldn’t log into the Mesh Sandbox. I could log into Morris, the region where the Beta Server UG meets. But, the World Map wasn’t working, so no TP via the map. In my history was an entry for the sandbox. But, TP failed and failed and failed. After 20 minutes I gave up.
I get announcements for various benefits and sales and other stuff happening in Second Life. Some seem solely commercial. Others are definitely benefits. Some I know, some I don’t. This is an ‘I don’t know.’ But, it looks like they will have good stuff at good prices.
