Ripple Effect

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

I don’t know why I didn’t notice this before, but looking at things above water when your camera is undernieth is causes an interesting effect. Unfortunately, anything using a texture with alpha layers doesn’t go well with the effect, as they appar on screen as if there was no water. Anyway, […]

Postcard from Second Life

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

I purchased a domain name and now I’m starting to set things up. Like Linden Labs, I am looking into many open-source products to tie together. Some of the products will allow me to open up my business so that others may assist me. One thing I would very much […]

Grace McDunnough - Live

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

It’s the event we have all been building up for. Grace McDunnough is playing live to benefit the Relay for Life team “Groovy Kinda Quest” over at the Tavern on Mill Pond. The place is packed and Grace has a beautiful voice. I haven’t heard her before, and I’m […]

A tour of Mondrian

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

Robie takes me on a tour of the islands where his new crib is loated. Very high detail and interesting architecture here. It’s got an overall nice feel to it. We took a monorail over to another island and passed a few sites on the way.posted by Dedric […]

Island Planning

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

I’m starting to play around with a few ideas for my future island purchase. I’ve laid out a prim with a checker texture so that each square represents 1 sq. m. I also resized one of my buildings to scale so I could get an idea of scale and what is […]

Landmark Provider

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

I got a request to make a product that hands out landmarks. Simple enough, but as an addition, I needed to store and email logs as well. Enter the landmark provider. Every “X” hours, it sends a report of anyone who touched it to receive a landmark. The […]

A new rating system

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

I’ve tried out a few rating systems in the past. There is of course, the built-in rating system for the client, but I’m talking about huds and websites. Thinks like the SLBuzz.com watch, TrustNet, and a few others. It appears a new rating system is on the sceene called RatePoint. […]

Voice Addiction in SL

Friday, March 9th, 2007

I’ve been addicted to the beta grid for the past two days.  I can only imagine how much worse it will get when the main grid gets the capability to speak.  One of the guys at the avastar emailed me asking about my experiences on the beta grid in regards to the new voice client.  […]

Another Grid

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

An art show is about to happen here in Arts Plus in a few hours. It is a French show, but also in English. Something about merging two worlds into one with real life, and second life. I wouldn’t have known about it if it were not for voice […]

Jack in the Box for prefabs

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Catlynn Valencia paid me a visit today and presented me with a problem she had. She builds prefabs, but has a problem with objects not being able to link with large structures. She understood how to take multiple objects into inventory as one item, but the problem is when customers […]
