Hamlet Linden once goaded me and goaded me to try to ask me if I had any regrets. Did I wish I hadn’t been so critical? So radical? So like "Noam Chomsky"? But that’s all fake. I’m a normal, common sense person speaking normally about something that isn’t normal lol. THAT’s the problem. I am completely puzzled as I have no regrets.

Havok 4 going beta
Havok 4 (now belongs to Intel), the recent version of the physics engine Second Life uses, is going into beta test. This is something many people have been waiting for one or two years.
This is first going to be a change under the hood; Lindenlab expects a more reliable SL experience out of it. So you should not expect big changes in the beginning.
Later this could lead perhaps to better prims per vehicle, since many ppl awaited this feature for long. We are going to see.
Happy rezday to me!
Finally! Today is my first rezday, meaning I entered Second Life exactly one year ago.
And boy, what a ride it has been. Considering that I am now somewhat of an SL oldie already and still don’t have intentions to leave this platform at all.
What if…
…too many residents would try to cashout all of there L$ at the same time? Would Lindenlab still be able to pay them? Or would the value of the L$ go down so quickly it wouldn’t hurt LL at all?
Just a funny thought that popped up into my mind after reading an article about a similar problem – bonus mile programs of airlines.
„Your host is working hard“ – nonsense
Many good going clubs are living on the presence of some live staff, mostly a host, better going clubs also a live dj from time to time and a security officer.
In many clubs I can always here the slogan "Please don’t forget to tip your host – we’re working hard…" – this is nonsense. The work of a host is no hard work at all. It’s mostly greeting people, something you can do with some good macros at east. Perhaps just also looking if the people behave, and if not, ejecting or banning them as last measure and that’s all.
This is a kind of job, that’s quite easy to do and which I also appreciate, but it’s no hard work at all. I almost cannot stand this saying anymore.
