Well I tried this yesterday to no avail, but now I am in. Yet another blog - yet another portal.
For the past months and a half I have been neglected other projects a bit. The reason? Exploring th metaverse, which by all accounts will be the type of interface that becomes the norm during the next decade. 3D will rule and our normal browsers and apps will either launch from within our personal virtual living/working spaces or at least in parallel.
As someone formerly involved with design in the physical and 2D world, an element of all this is the new experience. I have chosen to focus on Second Life. I have a huge inventory and a temporary home - plus a group for every opportunity that comes along. It is "Horizon Quest". Experimenting with design and building techniques has been my main interest, but evenings in 2L are taking on new meaning too for the private and social life.
A word of warning folks - don't get too addicted - it's bad for reality!
So we will see what ends up here. I have some images from 2L ready to upload when I find out how. I also make great use of Twitter, Second Talk and Sloog - so watch this space for links. With luck I may also find a way to log stuff here quickly from within 2L.
So, hopefully, back soon. As they say - "AFK"
Mal!
Mrs W needs to get her Avatar out of orientation island so she can get my attention these days lol!
Re images: My bad, I've not sorted that out yet. There are a ton of options in Drupal (the system this site runs on), so many that it's not a trivial choice as ot how this should work.
Im looking into it though, and will ping you for input on whatever I think might fit best - eventually i'd like to code a system that will aloow snapshots to be sent directly here from SL, as well as comments, and posts - not to hard i think, but a little time consuming...
Postin pix direct from 2L? That would be great if can be done. Like my SLOOG HUD for links, but for images. Even better if we could annotate sme images o act and blog posts.
Thanks again.
PS: Avatar equiv of Mrs B is 5 hours behind me. 2L seriously becoming evening leisure in her afternoon too.
