The Second Life Herald is running an article about Plastic Duck’s job inquiry at LL and how the CEO responded. Well, beside the obvious commentary from Prokofy Neva (gna… if he’s so horrible, just shut up and sue him!) it’s a rather heated debate. Well, from the point of view of Lindenlabs Plastic Duck must be …

Another terrain editor: Bailiwick
I’ve found by chance another terrain editor, this here works under Windows and its name is Bailiwick. It’s being used to postprocess terrains made with Photoshop or Terragen, you can define parcels, permissions and so on with it. Looks also very interesting to me.

Two buildings utilities
I’ve found two tools which can help you in the respect of building things in SL: A terrain file editor for OS X only named Backhoe. Looks pretty good and snappy to me on the screenshots and if you ever get your own island it looks like a very good way to make a terrain file to give to …

I wonder…
…since Plastic Duck’s real life identity seems to be revealed by himself, if now Prokofy Neva is going to sue him for stalking. Well, we’re going to see…

Another critical article about SL
Mario Sixtus, a well known German freelancing journalist, wrote a very critical article about Second Life and the hype around it in his blog. Translated it’s called somewhat like “My ultimately last words about Second Life”. His message is basically this: modern web platforms have reached today an abstract level, that constantly refuses to be compared with …

It’s nice to have dreams…
…like the CTO of Lindenlabs who dreams of an infrastructure that can support 10 millions of concurrent logins or like the CEO of Lindenlabs who dreams of 1.5 billion people online in Second Life or virtual worlds (the statement is in the current Avastar) but at the moment I and most other people would be very …
