Well, since SL was down over half the day (or even more…) and there was no possibility to login, what’s the addicts second best choice? Right: reading some posts in the blogosphere about Second Life and thinking about it.

So I here now present in no particular order my todays choice of articles about SL and stuff:

• SL History Wiki entry about Aimee Weber. Very interesting read about one of the leading content builders in here.

• Amy Weebler’s 2007 Second Life Predictions. A very fun read, for example:

  Linden Lab will be sold to Google, who will ALSO be unable to get search to work properly.

• Wall o’Residents. Jeska Linden’s photo stream on Flickr with some very interesting photos of LL employees.

• Aimee Weber and the AvaStar: “Corporate Love”. An interview with Aimee Weber, who was one of the chief builders of the AvaStar island in Sl. It was a very interesting read for me in the Metaverse Messenger. The AvaStar is a tabloid, made by the German Axel Springer Verlag, who also publishs the famous Bild-Zeitung in Germany, Europe’s biggest yellow press paper. Aimee Weber gives us some piece of her mind and thinks that the Second Life Herald only always mocks on SL and celebrates griefers. Well, I guess not all people are going to be with her opinion on this point.

About the experiences of the Second Life avatar named Bartholomew Gallacher.

And here’s a picture of my avatar:

Well, another downtime of the server, again. What should have been only a small downtime turns out to be a major downtime - again. They are updating the central storage hardware - oh well. Since more and more business keeps getting into SL and is made in SL it is for sure time that LL thinks about some efforts to achieve a better availibility, since these downtimes lately simply said tend to piss off many residents.

Greetings, traveler! I am your humble host on this side, please let me introduce myself, my name is Bartholomew Gallacher.

I am a male avatar in the game called Second Life and exploring this player made universe day by day. I was born on the 25th of September in 2006, although I really began to play in the middle of November. Since then I’ve been online more or less from day to day, explored many different locations, found some favorite spots for myself and made some wonderful friends through my journeys. They know who they are, a big thanks for your wonderful friendship!

Why this blog? Because I want to say something about this game in the WWW and it is always nice to have some feedback, more or less. I don’t know who is going to read this blog, perhaps many, perhaps only some, but that doesn’t matter to me really. This blog is going to be my main diary about my journeys, adventures and experiences in SL.
