There I was, out searching for a delicious pizza when I happened upon Click Clack City in the Coleman sim. At this point the radar was going crazy and it occured to me that there might be a bot infestation nearby. Sure enough, I zoomed in on the radar data to find a very large [...]

In what can only be described as “Holy Fucking Moly!”, the Second Life most popular sim chart has been infected with bots. Two of the sims were infected a while ago, and two new ones just recently. There is a lot of speculation as to what is going on in some of the Arabian bot-infested [...]

Holy Moly! Although it never actually went away, camping appears to have made a huge comeback recently. Just today I was out looking for some pizza when I stumbled across a sim labeled ‘KSA al7ejaz land’ that contained 55 campers. Quite an amazing sight. They all looked rather bored and hungry. Maybe next time I stop [...]
Holy Moly! There I was just minding my own business over at Planet Michael when I decided to check in on the Second Life grid. That’s when I spotted them. Over 75 bots hanging out at the Virgin Islands. At first I was a a little shocked because bot swarms that big are usually not [...]

Great Wicked Googalee’s! In what can only be described as shocking, bizarre, and borderline insane, it would appear that the world’s first Google+ bot has passed a ‘proof of concept’ stage.

Today the Lost Gardens of Apollo have closed down for public viewing due to a financial crisis and high tier costs sustained by the owner of the simulation, Dane Zander. There is a last plee of hope being sent out to Linden Lab at this time. If the call is answered, the simulation could be saved. [...]

I wasn’t out looking for trouble last week… It was a nice night to go hang gliding and so I chose the peaceful location of Amydria, a very nice water-front community with boats, docks, and decent food. I started my descent at 4500 meters dropped from a Space Harrier that was in the neighborhood. As I [...]

Massively has just posted a 34 minute audio interview with Rod Humble. I listened to it while eating some vanilla ice cream because I couldn’t sleep. The interviewer is a 7 year old SL resident and some of the questions were very good. Rod seemed to handle most of the questions quite well so get yourself [...]

Rod Linden has just announced the return of the Resident Help Network. This program significantly helps new Second Life users get acclimated and it was greatly contested when it was originally dropped some time ago. Many will be happy to see it return. This program will most definately help in the user retention area.
In a stunning move which looks to be aimed at helping the Second Life Furry community, Rod Humble recently announced “But, we know that the beauty of Second Life is in the diversity and richness of how we choose to represent ourselves inworld. So, we’re adding 12 animal and 12 robots and we’ll soon have [...]

In a most bizarre, crazy, and unprecedented move that can only be described as “HOLY ‘WTF?’ MOLY!”, Facebook locked out Ars Technica from its own Facebook page and many others due to possible bogus copyright infringement complaints. According to Ars Technica, there may be an official Facebook statement made sometime soon that will explain this most unnerving predicament. Hopefully, this [...]

It’s that time of year again. Time to upgrade, and for Second Life that means some serious hardware… Unfortunately, I don’t have the mega-bones to spend on the kind of serious hardware that Second Life could utilize, like the very latest dual quad core Xeon system that would be perfect for Second Life’s insatiable CPU [...]

If you live in Second Life and you are the type of person who is very over-protective when it comes to your Ozimals, you may want to stock up on security items for when this guy comes around to your place. Word on the street is that he is setting up all of this gear [...]

With the recently released Unreal Engine 3 Tech Demo, we are once again reminded of how badly Second Life needs a graphics overhaul. Hopefully, Rodvik Linden will be addressing the Second Life graphics deficiencies in 2011. If I might make a suggestion, perhaps a graphics engine that is on par with the Unreal Engine 3 [...]
China, Come to Second Life Now

The more I read about China being censored, the more I think China should have a larger presence in Second Life. A while back, China did the most despicable thing and arrested over 5,300 people for having porn websites, and we know China blocks Youtube, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., but perhaps China isn’t blocking or censoring [...]

In case you missed it, Engadget recently published a very good article about the right to be anonymous online. The article goes into some detail about why people should have the right to be anonymous as they use the internet, and I think the same holds true for Second Life residents as well. It’s a [...]
