Syndicating the Second Life blogosphere
Andy Piper brought his new toy to the lab today. While on a whistle stop tour of China recently he called in at Hong Kong on the way back, where he picked up a Parrot AR.Drone which have been released this month.
The AR.Drone is a quadricopter with 2 video cameras, one mounted in the nose and one downward facing one. The drone that acts as a ad-hock WI-FI access point allowing it to be controlled from any device with WI-FI. At the moment Parrot are only shipping a client for the iPhone, but there is an API available and there is already footage on the net using a Android Nexus One to control one. It’s loaded with a bunch of other sensors as well, an accelerometer to help keep it stable and a ultrasound altimeter to help it maintain altitude over changing ground.
The iPhone interface for flying the drone uses the accelerometer and is a bit tricky to start with, but I think with a little bit of practice it shouldn’t take too long to get the hang of it. The feed from the video cameras is fed back to the handset allowing you to get a pilots eye view, at the moment none of the software allows you to capture this video, but it’s expected to be added soon. You can also use the camera to play AR games or have the it hover and hold station over marker on the floor.
The whole thing runs a embedded Linux build on a ARM chip and you can even telnet into the thing while it’s flying. It comes with 2 chassis, one for outside and one with some protective shrouds for the propellers to use indoors.
I think some very cool stuff should be possible with a platform like this.
Here are 2 short videos I short of a few of us having a go with it on the lawn in front of Hursley House.
This is a slide show featuring the long hair styles from Hair Fair 2010 – a fundraiser for Wigs for Kids. You can see the individual pictures in the Flickr photo set.

These Gos Platform Pumps are hot hot hot! Each colored pair is scripted with the ability to change different components of the pumps to Black or the main color. For example, I could have dual tones if I wanted a Black sole on my Nude pumps or change the Upper part to Black and have a Nude sole.
I like that the pumps are scripted with the ability to hide invisiprims as well, this is a must have on all shoes cos they look better when shadows is enabled.

The Designers United event missed my radar somehow until I saw Cajsa’s blogpost. I don’t know how I missed it but I’m scattered, what can I say?
I had been petting and drooling over the gorgeous creativity dropped on the Hair Fair by Tekeli-Li this year (yes this Barbie is a huge Tekeli-Li fan, go figure) and I had my skin all picked out but just couldn’t decide what to wear – until I got the DU notice about this dress from ORTA.
Win.

The Echo gown had exactly the look that I didn’t know I wanted. Until I saw it.

***Bold R Indicates a Review Item***
LoQ Hairs – Cafe Misto | Turkish Coffee (Fiery Red)
These two styles are my favorite from LoQ Hairs. This is actually the first time I’ve ever featured LoQ Hairs here, I think they are a fairly new but what they’ve released so far is promising. I am feeling very Red today cos Autumn is just around the corner!
I’ve noticed that LoQ hair is full-bright by default, and that is awful! Thankfully the hair is mod, so I can simply uncheck the full-bright option, but I really don’t understand designers who leaves this on by default. It looks awful in Windlight and the hair texture is totally misrepresented.
Here’s my plea to hair designers: If for some reason you must have full-bright hair, please include both versions in your demo. I have to see what the hair texture looks like with full-bright off otherwise I won’t purchase it. I think that full-bright should be abandoned already, it makes you look like a newbie hair designer.

I will never again offer an opinion unless it is to a friend whom I care about. If you are a designer who makes terrible hair, keep on making terrible hair.
by mrfrans@gmail.com (Frans Charming) at September 08, 2010 03:52 AM
Today while reading the feed, I noticed someone blogging a hair that was not well made. The texture didn’t line up at all and the prim construction was terrible.
I made a Plurk about it by posting the picture on the feed along with the caption “should not be making hair” and someone pasted this to said designer.
I am actually pretty shocked the designer of that hair decided to IM me in-world with this response, even though my timeline is not available to her and it is not public.
[14:04] T******* F******: i look forward to seeing you make something , finally.
I am not a designer, I am a shopper. Does this make my opinion less valid? Am I not allowed to comment on something when I think it is terrible?

Guest Stylist Callie Oh makes beautiful music with her styling of this gorgeous outfit. I asked to send me notes for this blog post and this is what she wrote: “I am not a blogger nor a stylist, but I do love to wander the smaller shops looking for that something special I haven’t seen before and piecing together a look bit by bit. I found this dress at dp yum yum, added my Mandala pearls and Maitreya shoes and immediately felt like doing the Charleston all around the mall, well if it weren’t for lag I would have!”

Since her outfit made her feel the music – it seems so perfect that I decided to shoot the pictures at Cadenza.

Here you can see how beautifully coordinated the outfit style is – the socks a bold and stylish move.
The Maitreya shoes are so elegant and the details such as the little string laces are perfect.
Callie sat down at the Cadenza piano for a few shots. I like this one that shows of her gorgeous necklace and hair style.
This skin from League is incandescent and a beautiful choice.
If you would like to be a guest stylist, ...
An Emerald Viewer gets into a cab. The cab driver says "Where to, buddy?" and the Emerald Viewer says "Once around the block, please."Yeah, there's gonna be some serious spoofing going on tomorrow afternoon among the "You'll stop me from using Emerald when you pry it from my cold, dead hand!" crowd. Happy hunting, Joe!
As I'm sure you all know by now, as it's the hot topic even in my rental group .... well a hot topic in my rental group means three people talking in group chat, but I digress, Emerald will be blocked from tomorrow, as announced here.
However, as some of you may know, Linden Lab has a new VP of marketing in the shapely form of Kim Linden, as announced here.
Now the big question, is the delay in blocking Emerald due to the guys at the lab trying to see if they can get Kim's boobs to jiggle on Emerald, because when I first saw that avatar photo on the blog post, that's what I thought of ....I'll ask Blondin for inside info, he never gives me any, but I'll ask anyway. I tried to get him to leak photos of the top secret nuclear bunker known as Lindenwold, but he was like one of the untouchables and wouldn't leak a thing.
However on a serious note, a few people have been talking of Kim's background with a gaming company, as she came from Activision Blizzard, unfortunately she doesn't seem to have much to do with WoW so my wish for being able to use curse of agony on those who annoy me will have to stay firmly on the wishlist.

Shag – Let Me Kiss You | These Things | Breathe Me (Platinum)
Shag hair launched last year at hair fair, so it’s really great to see that they’re back again this year with even more hairstyles. I really like the Breathe Me style and the fedora hat on the These Things style. The fedora is scripted to change the Band and Hat 5 different colors.

These pictures were taken with shadows enabled but I’m having such a hard time with that lately. It’s so erratic, sometimes I can do it, and sometimes I can’t
Remember the Mother Goose skins I mentioned a few posts ago? The lure of the fatpack is too strong so I ended up giving away the single I bought to a friend (the skin is sold no copy, transfer) and getting a fatpack! Yay!
This skin is not as realistic as what I normally wear, so I don’t know why I like it so much, but I do!
I am wearing the Fishy Strawberry Tube Dress and Waist Belt in this post, but there’s so much newness and colors available, I’ll have to do a separate blog post.

As of 10am PT Wednesday, September 8, the Emerald Viewer will be blocked from logging in to Second Life as a result of violations of our Policy on Third Party Viewers. Residents who have been using any version of the Emerald Viewer will need to use a different Viewer to access Second Life. You can download the official Second Life Viewer, developed by Linden Lab, here. Or you can learn more about alternative Viewers, developed by third parties, here. There are several new Viewers listed in the TPV Directory, so there are many alternatives available to you.
We take Residents’ privacy, safety, and security very seriously and will take action to enforce the policies that help protect it. As our CEO, Philip Rosedale, has blogged about, we recently removed the Emerald Viewer from our Third-Party Viewer Directory due to violations of our Policy on Third-Party Viewers.
Since then, we have been in communication with the Emerald development team and have requested several changes in order to remedy violations of our policy, including changes necessary to meet our privacy requirements, and to address GPL license violations. Unfortunately, the team was unable to comply within a stipulated time frame. As a result, we have decided to block logins from the Emerald Viewer in order to protect our Residents. All versions of the Emerald Viewer will be blocked from logging in to Second Life as of tomorrow at 10am. Please be aware that attempting to circumvent our blocking to access Second Life with a banned Viewer is a violation of the Policy on Third-Party Viewers and may result in the loss of one's account.

[Kasandra Rage got in touch with me through a friend of mine because she wants to be a Second Life model. Always willing to help out where I can, I accepted her application for Post 6 and am thrilled to present to you the lovely, talented and eager supermodel-to-be, Kasandra Rage. If you are a designer or photographer or anyone in need of models for print or runway, please accept this as a ringing endorsement of her abilities and the highest possible recommendation of a very professional woman.~Timothy Morpork]

Hi Everyone! It’s a real thrill to be here on the pages of Post 6!
Growing up, I always wanted to be a model in real life, but as the years rolled past and life got in the way of dreams, I moved on and packed up that dream with all the rest of the childhood. Then this summer I joined Second Life. One of the first people I met here was a model for Post 6, she introduced me to Timothy and boing! My dream of being a model is revived.
I find this whole world so exciting! I have been exploring it nonstop since I arrived, and every morning I get up and wonder what the grid will show me. I just love that there are industries like fashion and architecture and games and communities for roleplaying. I can finally be a famous model, or a queen, or a television reporter. It’s really up to me and my imagination!

Modeling for Post 6 was a lot of fun. It was great to get to know Timothy, and I appreciate all that he is doing to get me started. I would never in a million years dare to model nude in real life, so it is more than a thrill to have stripped down to just my skin for him knowing that he would show what he saw to the world! I hope you like them, please be kind!
For my future in SL, I really hope I become a model. I know it’s weird, but the idea of wearing the latest clothes and having my own face appear all over the stores and blogs of Second Life is something that I think would be supremely cool. If anyone out there can use a girl who’s willing to work, please IM me!

That’s about all I have to say. I think the pictures are great and it was an honor to be here and work with such a big time blog for my first feature. I hope to come back some day in the future, so please say nice things so they will bring me back!
Peace,
Kasandra

Data mining and other associated subject matter of some controversy to define the boundaries between data mining and related subjects, as can the statistics, artificial intelligence, etc.. Some argue that data mining is merely statistical jargon involved in a business to develop it into a salable product. Others, however, there are a number of specific problems and methods that distinguish it from other disciplines. The fact is, that in practice all the models and algorithms used in data mining, neural networks, classification and regression trees, logistic models, principal component analysis, etc .- enjoy a relatively long tradition in other fields.

One of greatest pleasures on designing Worlds is sharing with you some of the most beautiful places across the Metaverse – and this week on Tuesday September 7th, we invite you all to join us in our Northpoint studio at 2pm SLT as we explore a spectacular new sim, created by Marcus Inkpen and Sharni Azalee.
The Looking Glass is their brand and, in seeking to create a store – or rather, a number of small stores – where they can sell their creations, they have designed what must be one of the most stunning regions in Second Life.
We will be visiting areas ranging from a shabby city to a fairy forest, a surreal Dali-esque landscape to a stunning beautiful castle.
And we can promise you eye candy of a very high order for Marcus and Sharni don’t just create magnificently detailed builds … they pride themselves on their attention to detail too.
The results, we think you’ll agree, are amazing.
Marcus and Sharni’s creative skills are well known. Marcus is one of the artists chosen to create an immersive region for the Pavilion of Madrid at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China – and you really should take the opportunity to visit Utopia 4 and the other Utiopia sims, as they are closing at the end of October. Sharni has won many prizes at the UWA Imagine Challenge – you can read more about the challenge in an article by Rowan Derryth in the forthcoming Prim Perfect magazine.
You may remember that Marcus and Sharni featured on our show on some of the wonderful Designer sims at Relay for Life. Their build, the Healing Hands of Eywa, was an uplifting journey through magical Pandora-inspired forests. Now it has found a new home on the ground level of the Inspire Space Park – and you’ll see images from this and from Utopia, supplied by our photographer PJ Trenton, in the course of the show.
The show starts at 2pm SLT, but you should be in our Northpoint studios by 1.30pm to make sure of getting a seat. And there will be special gifts for all who attend the show in the studio!
Or you can [...]

Today a few friends showed me a sight so absolutely lovely that tonight I had to grab our own PJ Trenton by the camera strap so I could share this with readers!
Lupo Ellison has built a stunning replica of the Golden Gate Bridge that must not be missed. The texture and detail are fantastic, and it is definitely a shutterbug’s dream. Not only can you walk up over the bridge, you can actually ‘borrow’ a horse and ride across too (although they are a tad touchy on the reins!).
As a former West-coaster, I can say with some experience that Lupo’s surrounding landscape felt very much like wandering the paths of Golden Gate Park, or numerous other place in the Pacific Northwest (one spot reminded me distinctly of Cannon Beach, Oregon). There is also a charming little lighthouse to be explored.
So grab your camera (and perhaps a sweetie – it is quite romantic, just like the real Golden Gate), play god with your sky settings, and enjoy this wonderful build!

Dadjunk.com shared a DIY project for making a cheap and fun case for your Kindle e-book reader, using an old book. Irony alert! I decided to try it out this weekend and here's the results. Check the pics and a quick video of how it went for me.
I'm a complete spaz when it comes to crafty projects, so I'm sure you could do much better!
Here's all the complicated tools you need to create your own e-book case:
Funny story: When I was at the Strand Bookstore looking for the right book to make into the Kindle case, I was walking around holding up my Kindle next to various books to size it properly. Another guy saw me doing this and pulled out his Kindle from his pocket. "I'm doing the same thing you are!" he said, smiling. "Check out the poetry section. The books are pricier, but they size much better."
Thanks for sharing this, Dadjunk.com!

crossposted to Fran OPMLWPblogA few days ago I wore a Rosi skin group gift from Bella di Notte, and now the full line has finally been released!!
The new Bella di Notte skins has 6 lipstick choices, light and dark brows, 12 Eye-makeups (sold separately), Blush, Freckles, and Cleavage (all are on the tattoo layer). I really like that more skin designers are making use of the tattoo layer to allow us to create our own look.
I really like these shadows (tattoo) because they’re transparent and can work with other skins much more easily than lipstick on a tattoo layer.

Friday – Sasha | Fiona (Thoughtful Brown)
These two new hairstyles from Friday are available at Hair Fair! Be sure to check out the third hairstyle while you’re there; some proceeds of that style is donated to charity.

There is always something wonderful going on in the Costa Rica sims. Right now, there is a poetry contest that’s truly a delight to enter! What you need to do is visit the Criss Museum of Contemporary Art. Stroll about the displays and enjoy the artwork. Now, here’s the fun part: look for a piece that speaks to you personally – and write a poem based on it! Submissions will be accepted through September 19th. Simply write your poem on a notecard and transfer it inworld to Emile Sands, the Poetry Coordinator.
The camshaft and piston are a sculpty that rotates through the map textures so it looks like it's cycling.
Way cool stuff. Check him out on Babbage's Clockworks sim.
And a few bottles... so had to find places to stash those.
Let's see what I have on the floor while I wait for someone to come up with something better:
Couples seating and 1-prim chairs, center of room has Edloe stained glass emblem for the time being.
Oh, and Rip Wirefly's balloony billboard with a few minor adjustments. I swapped out the 2-prim screw with a 1-prim boat propeller, then exchanged the 2 brass bands with a single brass cutshape tube. Then added the Crap-o-Matic to it, linked to the central hub of the room, added rotation... now it orbits the room with the orrery.
Yes, I kept Kristine's stained glass... was slightly tempted to go with sculpty bars, but you can't deny the awesomeness of the stained glass.
Couples sofa under the cat memorial... thought about putting it on the balcony. Maybe some other time.
The other side of the room... orrery is still there, bookshelf moved to corner with seating on top.
Here’s a slide show featuring many of the short hair styles you can find at Hair Fair 2010. You can look at the pictures on Flickr as well.

When you have a commercial web site should be taken into account the great importance of being well placed in search engines. Being located in the first 10 or 20 positions of search engines involves receiving a multitude of visitors daily. Competition is intense, but you can get to be in the top of search engines based on one or a few keywords that the alleged customers would write in the search for a search. In this article we will try the technique of positioning of the front door. The call is a gateway website which is at the top of search engines and is based on a certain keyword or keyphrase. A site 100% oriented to a particular word or phrase. If you are an employer can employ the internet and someone known re-encargue the SEO of your pages. The most difficult task may be choosing these key words or phrases. A related site: Steve Case mentions similar findings.
We must focus on the niche they have each chosen and try to choose words that most can be used by potential customers in your search. Let's start by defining three of those keywords. For example, if you do the network marketing, you could choose the following words: multilevel, multi-business, Network marketing. These words should be separated by "commas" and then be placed in the HTML of your website, between the paragraph tags and meta "keywords". Using SEO techniques you will work on the Internet in an intelligent way . then you must create a brief description of the contents of your website, and also placed in a META tag in this case meta "description". You must also create a title that contains the keywords and inserted into the HTML code paragraph. As for the design of the website, the page should load as quickly as possible.
As the title page must bear the same name you put on. Official site: Reagan Silber. In addition to labels, and should create the label, these comments as META tags are not displayed by search engines visiting your comment considered as part of the page so isa also the ideal place to put keywords. This technique of positioning will make you profitable business. Once you have finished creating your web search engine entry, save it to the hard drive of your computer with a memorable name, you must enter it manually in buscadores.Todas these techniques may help you have a profitable business, to work on the internet and if you are an employer to give or get jobs on the Internet.

Dernier Cri – Taylor | Camelia (freebie fatpack)
Dernier Cri has an amazing new hair collection out at Hair Fair. I’m really impressed with these styles, they’re so kawaii and I’m just in-love with the light pinkish texture.

I really like that Dernier Cri hairstyles comes with a HUD to change the hair colors. This reduces inventory clutter and also makes it super easy to mod a style once and just recolor vs. having to modify several hairs to fit. However, I think in laggy sims, the re-color process can take awhile and I’ve noticed that sometimes I have to do it several times before the script recolors all the prims properly (again… probably lag, not really an issue with the hair).
Dernier Cri has only released hair once this year (I think I bought most of them) but I really hope that Asuka Martin does more!! These are probably some of my favorites from Hair Fair this year.
Also, as much as I adore Dernier Cri hair, I really wished that the creator’s head shape is more like my own. When I resize the hairstyles, I’ve noticed ...
I haven't been paying much attention to the Second Life Marketplace migration, I've been keeping half an eye on it in case there are any wild curveballs but it's a migration, it will take time to get right and it's new so has a whole set of new issues.
However a couple of interesting points have been raised this weekend, prompted by a blogrum post from Ann OToole, who highlighted an issue whereby not only can anyone flag an item as not as advertised, but also that when this happens, the merchant isn't notified. This has been followed up by Brodesky Linden who has created two Jira's about these issues, which is good to see, although some of Brodesky's comments on that blogrum thread rubbed people up the wrong way.
There are five offences that an item on the new marketplace can be flagged for:
Three of those, listing not flagged as adult, spam or disallowed listing practices and non-item listing should be able to be flagged by anyone, I shouldn't need to purchase an item to flag a listing for those offences. Infringing one's intellectual property rights should only be able to be flagged by the person whose intellectual property rights have been infrnged, and an item that is not as advertised should only be able to be reported by someone who has actually purchased the item, how else would someone know the item was not as advertised?

This video is not new, in fact I learned on Wikipedia that the Nokia Morph concept was unveiled in February 2008. It’s pretty amazing stuff, but then again, the morphing is meant to show what might be possible. “Some” of the imagined features could become reality by 2015. The video popped up again on Facebook – maybe it’s just Nokia trying to enhance a high tech image while the company suffers from the very real world Apple and Android competition.
Anyway, it was the first time I saw the video and I thought I should share it here, because at least it makes us realize what disruptive changes we should expect in the years to come.
This device concept showcases some revolutionary leaps being explored by Nokia Research Center (NRC) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom) nanoscale technologies that will potentially create a world of radically different devices that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities.

I thought I had something to live for but I was already dead.
Or so, that’s what was on Cranch’s bald mind yesterday. The prognosis wasn’t good — to strip all fat out of words, it outright sucked. The corruption had spread to the extremities of Cranch’s limbs. Even his stubby big toe (one was, one wasn’t). A year to live, maybe more, maybe less — but being the daredevil risktaker he had always been (a shade more subtle now, perhaps), he didn’t want to leave that up to chance. Without hesitation and offered the option by the Docs, he scarfed up the amakielmesef, or as it was more popularly known, the “year-long comfort suicide pill”. Any suffering due to lateral corruption would be completely nullified, in exchange for an irreversibly predictable, inevitably painless death. Unless something else (like a meteorite strike) happened, you’d know your day and minute of passing (what a crap euphemism) a span of months in advance. Given the short-frame uncertainties many were given — Cranch included — this was a superior alternative path to the generic eternal dirt nap. And since he’d tragically resigned himself to never finding the magical milk and eggs he needed to prolong a life well-lived, this is how it must be.
Khwooofaaaphoooooooooooooooooom!
At least a thousand soda pop cans exploded in vocal agony, their turpid frothy insides spewing onto their shoddy paper-box-homes and the contents of every aisle in proximity. “One last adventure fo’ ol’ Cranchie!” he chuffed in a gruff voice, hands manipulating the comically touch-sensitive screen of this incredibly destructive tunnel-drill that had burrowed by the Walin-Peake’s bridge and made its grand exit here, before aghast shoppers in Consumer Central. Cracked checkerboard tile spit into chaotic spirals, recursive diminution freaking out one single mom-and-cub, who, after she was decked in the head by a particularly jagged bit of eggshell-textured textile, decided “GTFO!” was the command of now.
Not something you see at a fucking ultramarket everyday, no sirree. Cranch chomped down on his objube, decked out in an uncharacteristically bland wifebeater with sweat stains on it, the result of the subterranean adventure that had transpired some moments earlier. Time to let my hair down, as bald as I’ve become, he figured.
Just outside, a couple physically-contrasting figures (because that’s what all the great duos are like, right?) watched from their hippy-dippy van while Consumer Central’s neon sign fizzled, then fell, making shopping carts go 2D. That would pess off the Morridge Porridge Empire. The more slender of the pair waggled her beak and turned to her green-and-pink companion, incidentally dressed in the same clothes Cranch was. But they were merely observing; knew it would go down this way, and after nonchalantly watching the self-implosion of franchise #543 all around, they sped off with an oily flame trail into the next destination they needed to hug.
