Fredward: New upcoming trend: raytraced computer games (?)

nospam@example.com (Fredward) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:30:05 +0200

You've got it wrong. Raycasting hasn't been used since Wolfenstein 3D. The games you all mentioned use 3D projection for rendering, and the triangles are then clipped, sorted and rasterized.

Bartholomew Gallacher: Dreamland woes

Well, we're going to see, of course about that, if the things MadMarkus Miles said are becoming reality or not. The undeniable truth is that land has become quite cheap while tiers are still not so that big land owners need to find other sources of income, I guess.

Ted Meier: Dreamland woes

What really happened: Anshe fired two angels, including their team leader. Then two angels who were close friends followed them, while others remained. After talking to some folks in the new team I was assured that they are doing well, that there aren't any bad "things in the pipeline" and that Anshe's company isn't planning any price increases or new fees.

Part of it was LL's own fuckups. Part of it was us. Unintentional sideeffect of a new sim-crasher, I promise we'll take them down one by one next time LL

bartinsl: Finding out every stream URL you always wanted to know

Oh wow, Torley in da house... in my little, humble blog... faints Yes, that's true, there are many ways, especially since technically the SL client acts the same like e.g. Winamp in regards of music streams, so there are enough commands in the OS of your choice already to show it. Ah, great, I cannot await it until the First Look viewer becomes the main viewer! Keep up to the good work on it, folks.

Torley Linden: Finding out every stream URL you always wanted to know

Just to round out some context here, there are many, many ways to get stream URLs; it's not particularly encrypted or anything like that, and my understanding is we can't "special case" for this exception. For example, you can also use Client menu's Console Window and that will show you the info, too. The Linden Lab issue # for this is SL-30647, but was closed as "won't resolve" due to the aforementioned. So while it's a casual deterrent, people with enough curiosity can get to it. And BTW (in regards to your other post), the bug is fixed in First Look Viewer and will hopefully roll out with a lot of other fixes, including the dang "invisible water" one. Glad you were inspired by me! =)

bartinsl: Island deliveries today - some math

nospam@example.com (bartinsl) — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 16:47:08 +0100

I'm very happy so far they're getting some income. Hopefully they're able to generate finally some profit, too. But let's face it: I'm in SL since about half a year now. It is not as much fun ago than it was back in September, because the online player count grows day by day and there are still unfixed issues, mainly the almighty lag many of us experience. So if they want to grow also a fix of this should be top priority, this means adding more bandwidth, I guess and some other changes to the technical infrastructure. Because if the issues continue to go on, sooner or later the word will spread around and then people are going perhaps to avoid buying islands. When you've got a bad image it's very hard to turn it around, again. So - they better should fix it and fix it soon.

OddesE Oh: Island deliveries today - some math

Let's be very happy they are doing good. The profits will be used to invest in better software and a better experience in SL. They need lot's of funds to be able to fix the lag problem, and they really need to fix that to ensure growth. SL could become the next (3D) web, but only if it can scale up that big (without just keeping adding one island per 100 avatars :-p ).

Mercedes Parts Blog: Where BMW is, Mercedes-Benz will follow - and vice versa

nospam@example.com (Mercedes Parts Blog) — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 11:19:42 +0100

Mercedes-Benz has announced a new sports package for those people considering an SL-Class who want a bit extra flair with their expensive set of wheels. As a matter of fact, the visual punch added by the sports package focuses on a new set of 19-inch, twin-spoke wheels that offer a fairly unencumbered view of the silver-painted front Mercedes brake calipers and cross-drilled rotors in the rear. I know BMW will gona follow this endeavor soon...

Well... yes, although Mercedes-Benz has a dependency in Second Life, too, this blog here is not about the Mercedes SL. Funny.
