Second Life and Virtual Worlds
If you didn’t read through my index of or listen to the Metareality podcast What is the Problem?!?, you missed Karl Stiefvater’s comments on the mesh deformer. Karl was addressing a point that has come up in JIRA 1716.
In some version of the Mesh Deformer Project Viewer there was a significant delay between the time a mesh garment was worn (rezzed) and the Deformer started deforming it. In some cases on some computers that was 2 to 4 minutes.
There is a person finder up on Google. If you know people there trying to find family or friends, get them this link: http://google.org/personfinder/2013-boston-explosions.
Let others in world know about the link.

There is a new video from Uru Live by… I am not sure… I think David Drury But, you can see it on Facebook: More Uru Stuff. Be sure to switch to HD.
More videos are here: Album.
There is a Metareality podcast for this week (15): What is the Problem?!?. I have indexed it. There is a a new bit of information from Karl on the Mesh Deformer at 13:00.
I suggest you have this index up while you listen. There are some parts of the cast you’ll likely get bored with.
Also the first link on the Metarealit article about Cloud Party leads to the article on EA’s screw up not Cloud Party. I covered Cloud Party’s new building blocks thing last week: Cloud Party Block Building Contest.
There was no new news on the server updates at Thursday’s Beta Server meeting. We did get a bit more information.

Maestro Linden tells us that Monty Linden’s HTTP Project needed more ‘baking time’, in case there were any subtle issues. This is the project that changes more of the communications between your computer and the Second Life™ servers over to the HTTP Protocol. I suppose since they had the opportunity to roll the package out to all three RC channels before going to the main grid they took it. Or… they may not have had anything else ready to rollout.
