HTML on a prim – sort of – Release Notes for Second Life Release Candidate 1.19.1(0) March 5th, 2008

This seems to be fairly significant, Second Life will be mainstreaming Windlight and offering a much improved parcel media capability, meaning showing normal web content on a parcel media textured prim instead of just quicktime displayable content.

If anyone has a parcel making use of the new web content capability please let me know, I’d like to take a look.

Second Life Community Entry Points

Second Life has a number of places that new users can sign up with that start the user out at different places in Second Life, places operated by various third party in partnership with Linden Lab, with the different places having different styles according to the tastes of the Second Life community partner. I was looking for a simple list of these places and I didn’t see one, so I made one. As always when making a static copy of something, errors in copying can occur, and the information may become out of date. These links take you to the sign up pages for these community entry points.

Good way to tell LL they’re stupid

A thread in the Linden Lab’s Second Life Forums (payment verified members only) from an exasperated user expressed the desire for a “Good way to tell LL they’re stupid”.

I’m don’t think Linden Lab is stupid. I don’t have to agree with the premise in order to conjure up ways to tell LL they’re stupid. Here are a few:

One good way to tell LL they are stupid would be to get a picture of each staff member, and get a “Books on Demand” printer to produce a customized dictionary for each each staff member. The employee’s picture would be included in the the definition of stupid with a caption like “This person is stupid.” Mail these to LL.Other good ways to tell LL they are stupid would be to have a full building wrap done on one of the skyscrapers in downtown SF with giant magenta and green letters spelling out the “LL is stupid” message.A skywriting plane spelling out “LL is stupid!” every day for a month would probably make the point.

The Goodyear blimp has electric signage that could be brought into play in spreading this message.

Maybe you could get some major soft drink makers to print this on the inside of bottle caps. That would be kind of odd, getting a drink and finding “LL is stupid!” in such an unlikely place.

I suppose one could use prims at the right height and location to display this message on the map inworld.

Coordinate blog replies so the first letter of a number of replies in sequence spells out “LL is stupid!”.

Sneakily acquire their driver’s licences and put a little teeny strip of paper with the word Stupid! on it over top of where their name goes.

Maybe someone can add some more.

Novoking sandbox pictures – build editor- creative garden – first objects

I was under the impression there was a place you could build somewhere in the Novoking beta. I just couldn’t find it. I saw a picture of it in the Novoking forums. A few hours later I was looking for that picture and had a hard time finding it – hard to navigate a forum you can’t read. I finally used the Opera browser’s cache viewer to find the picture in my local browser cache. As I looked at it it dawned on me that the mini-map in the top right corner  revealed where the Novoking sandbox was on the big map – which would enable me to get to it. I was right. A few minutes later, I had Novoking back up and started looking. Before long I found the build editor, and then was on the way to staying up longer than I should before a work day. Again.

Using Strife’s BBcode Greasemonkey Script In Opera

Here’s what I did to use Strife’s BBCode in Opera:

Do you have a Hipihi installation success story?

I’d love to hear from anyone that has succeeded in running Hipihi on any language version of Windows other that Chinese. I assume it works in a normal manner on Chinese Windows.

I’m looking for stories of success with no troubles, success after a struggle and what you did to get it to work, or stories of failures and what you tried before you decided to stop the effort.

Hipihi forum for non-Chinese speaking users

IdeaShape Studios has created a forum for virtual world users focused on Hipihi users that don’t speak Chinese.

Every one that can’t use the Hipihi company’s Chinese language forum that has joined Hipihi is invited to join this forum and post their questions, ideas, pictures, etc.

Everyone that can’t use the Hipihi company’s Chinese language forum that wants to join Hipihi but is having trouble with registering, download, installing and successfully running the software is invited to join this forum.

The url for this new Hipihi forum is http://www.ideashape.cn /
