Gods know that I am not sure if writing this is a wise idea. It is like calling a sleeping demon from the bottom of the lamp. But Nicholaz passed the question and… *sigh* … let's hope for the best.

Really, what happened to the age verification? Read more…

Strike

Posted in society | Friday, 18 April 2008 | Comments (4)

In the case you haven't noticed, there was a three days SLbloggers strike that ended today. It was provoked by Linden Lab's new trademark lunacy which, have you ever doubt, had all kind of reactions, mostly negative ones. Strike itself, have you ever doubt, was controversal too. One of the posts, published during the strike was Galatea Gynoid's:

Now, normally LL can't say anything without legions of self-styled critics going out of their way to bend every possible word in the worst possible way to make it sound like something bad is occurring, and acting all alarmist to see who they can get fired up about nothing much. It is the path of the drama queen, and I got sick of it while I was still in high school, so I tend to just ignore it.

While I haven't seen anything good coming from the strike, my high school days made me staying silent during those three days. Yes, my high school thought me lazyness and not breaking the protests if I am not explicitly against them.

I just wanted to have a cup of coffee on a grid, to sort out my thoughts and catch a glimpse of nice WindLight reflections on the ocean. A nice way to start a day. So I clicked the green hand on the top bar, hard disk started making subtle noise and I was almost there. Almost!

New Version Available

Hey! I remember that feed reader showed the headline about new version of release candidate is available. But there is a difference between available and mandatory. Read more…

It’s My Life, No Matter The Number In Front Of It

Posted in society | Tuesday, 25 March 2008 | Comments (13)

Blogosphere around our beautiful world today is buzzing about the new trademark policy about using the name of the company who provides the platform for it, it's logos and the name of the world itself. In short, that company based in San Francisco now insists that we put ugly ™ and ® wherever we mention them or the platform we live on. I am too lazy to read all the lawspeak they rumble there so this post is not going to be informative in that (if in any) way. Read more…

Now when Linden Lab is in search for new default avatars and Philip Rosedale is leaving CEO position of Linden Lab I feel like writing about more interesting things in second life. Like Philip Linden's hair. Read more…

Why Identity Verification Is Not Going To Work

Posted in society | Thursday, 20 September 2007 | Comments (13)

What to do than to continue about identity verification of second life residents? Not that I can offer much answers. It is up to Lindens to answer our concerns, and it is obvious that they don't want to answer, don't know the answers, that they're buying their time or just play another stupid strategy. There is one thing we can be sure about: it is not going to work. Read more…
