Second Life is Like a Series of Rivers
Second Life is like a series of rivers!
Griefers are like beachballs, clogging the rivers of Second Life.
We need dolphins, which can swim freely through the rivers and bat the balls out of the way, clearing the rivers and allowing small children to drift safely through them.
This is an open call to all residents of Second Life. We must unleash the dolphins of war! Let them rain down on the griefers in unendding waves! They shall feel our Cetacean wrath! I seek out skilled builders and scripters to aid in this effort to create the most powerful anti-griefing dolphins the virtial world of Second Life has ever seen.
We will fire dolphins from cannons and launch them like missiles. We will have giant mecha dolphins and tiny micro dolphins. They will patrol in every simulator, they will read every email and report back to us if you show any griefer tendancies, and they will STOP GRIEF.
If you are interested in the future of Second Life or you just want to live in peace, you will join the group "Dolphin Alliance"
Remember folks, if you're not with us, then you're with the griefers. Don't be a griefer!

Oh, Vivox? Doesn’t that give you cancer?
Vivox recently launched their VOIP service in Second Life. It's got a couple standard features..You got the buddy list, you got the chat window and you got…. well that's it!
Ok, so it does conferences but we can't figure out how to invite someone to one once you start a 1 on 1. You can all get together around a public microphone in Second Life and it will add you to a conference, but that's a hassle. Documentation is almost nil. What good is it to me when I am not able to hear chat after 5 minutes and trying to restart the client it tells me the server is non-responsive? So basically it sucks!!
After half an hour of messing with Vivox and nothing working, moo Money, Mark Barrett and I decided we would just use Skype, and that's what happened.. The complaints about Vivox spread through our social network and soon our conversation was 6 strong hosting Talila Liu, Eric Rice and Oz Spade as well. Then it was 10 and finally topping out at 17 people connected through SkypeCast, including terrorist linkers and "known griefers".
Eric Rice said, "It's like Second Life in my ears."
We don't need no fancy schmancy bullhookie from Vivox..Back to Skype everyone! It may not be integrated into Second Life, but at least it works.
Now, if it was a part of the client that would be a different story, nobody would expect it to work…

Torley mentioned the Flock browser on her blog recenty. He's been using it as a mass photo uploading tool, but it has other features as well ;0 So here's for testing the blogging tool.
YAY FOR WHATEVER THIS IS!
Alright!
Blogged with Flock
Who is this “Baba” character?!
I was prompted to write this by Brace Coral, so check her out.
So, who is Baba? That's hard….
Oldbie? Sure. Genius? That's a given. Totally Sucks? Yup. Why does anyone care? I dunno..
If you read back to the very beginning with my posting habits in the Second Life forums you would see it mostly started with stuff about open sourcing Second Life(login) … My discussions in world between friends(most of them SL super celebs cause I'm FIC )started way before that. I started asking what's wrong with Second Life(login), because we alreayd know what is right .
Why did it all stop suddenly? I didn't lose interest, that is for sure.. I joined libsecondlife . So, libsecondlife? What's that?! Oh, it's hawt h4x … You see we got this library that we are developing that is able to emulate the Second Life protocol. Yeah, so basicly we have the makings of our own Second Life client.
But Baba, isn't that against TOS? Sure, it would be if it wasn't all approved(FETED) and shit by the Lindends.
So, I got this thing going(libsecondlife) with Linden Lab where they are all like "Baba you so cool and sexy" and I've been going with that. Wait til we start emulating their servers.. Someone at Linden Lab might die over that one. You know, that guy nobody likes because he's a fucking idiot. I dunno his name because I never met anyone at Linden Lab like that.
Cool, this is the part where I run out of stuff to say becaus I've just been rambling like a moron for 10 min. I guess some people are better at that than others.
