Subquark Hax said. So I sent Ener an im and said. And now I’m building conference and learning facilities on an OpenSim that will be connected to the Reaction Grid.
The OpenSim has improved a lot since I experimented with it last year. Since you’re not connected to a public grid, building there is very quiet. Really quiet. All the tools and clever things I have in my SL inventory are not at hand and, in many ways, it feels as if I’ve returned to the Stone Age of virtual building. But also kindles the imagination and whets my appetite to create, much like Philip Linden must have first imagined when he visualized the virtual desert that became Second Life.
It had been nearly year since I last visited Open Life. I heard it was getting better, but I was crashing a lot and having trouble teleporting. Although, I did get some nicer hair at a freebie place.
With a little bit of sadness, Micheil and I took down our Burning Life build today. We were very happy with how well the machine performed overall. Even with the near constant lag, Micheil’s data logs said the machine performed properly 90% of the time.
Thank you to all the nice people who im’d us to say how much they enjoyed our exhibit.
I was delighted to find out today that Keumjoo Ahn, a Second Life machinima artist, filmed our machine running for her piece Hahaha. Our bit comes at 1:25 in the movie.
Ener Hax gave us some blog space and took many great pictures of our build too. Thanks so much Ener!
Manx Wharton and The Freaksters met in a secret location last night to celebrate Halloween. Manx banged the drum and we danced with the ghouls until time rolled backwards.
The Anti-Perse: evil twin of Persephone Phoenix, SL poetry's angel of mercy
I normally wear this mass of red hair with my mermaid av, but when I tried it on with the Bloody Mary skin that came as a Halloween group gift, it was “dead” obvious what my costume had to be. The Bard’s head slowly drips blood until someone clicks on it. Then I start running in circles, screaming and flooding the place with particle blood

Merlin pulled together a wonderful Hunter S. Thompson costume. As soon as I can get him to stand still for a photograph, I’ll update the post.

Linden Labs has decided to restrict access to XStreet for the hobbyist builder by charging ridiculous fees for all product listings (not just the freebies of the post's title) in addition to their per-sale commissions.
I've delisted all of my items and won't be using XStreet anymore.
