Alternative viewers

I prefere GreenLife Emerald Viewer for now on, the download ist at modularsystems.sl

I use often different SL Clients. Kirsten Viewer is a nice one and if you have the right power of the “Grafikkarte” it has shadows AND IS also for macs. The download directory is here. There is also a Cool Viewer (legacy and fast non-Windlight renderer) in town.

(following is an old post from copy & paste & published on: Dec 8, 2007)

Since the viewer source code is released on a regular basis, the official client isn’t the only one out anymore. First there is some incredible work done by Nicolaz “The Mad Patcher “Beresford. All his fixes are going into the jira, and most of them are going to be added to the Linden code base and will make it into future official releases of the viewer. (Tillie Ariantho)

The Able Edition works just like the main viewer but with one important extra: visual muting. You can right-click on a parcel or an object and the extra option of “Mute Visibility” will be available in the pie-menu. Select it and the object will be invisible to you, allowing you to photograph a scene without spinning “For Sale” signs ruining the view.

Dale Glass has worked a proximity detector into the client, allowing people to see the names of the avatars that are in the area, how old the avatar is, and whether or not they’ve registered payment information with Linden Lab. (metaversed.com)

2D Client and Hypergrid and so on…

OMVViewer-light is a text only client for 3D metaverses.

The OpenSim Hypergrid

The hypergrid is an extension to opensim that allows you to link your opensim to other opensims on the internet, and that supports seamless agent transfers among those opensims. It can be used both in standalone mode and in grid mode. The hypergrid is effectively supporting the emergence of a Web of virtual worlds.

Radikaler Konstruktivismus

in some weeks and i am 2 years old. what changed? my stepbrother Adolf Svoboda jumed out of an egg. i mean he is my brother, verry comlicated storry i must go on and research this. he is a little boneheaded but i love him.

…and some me-myselfe-and-i cloning ;)

What is OpenSimulator?

OpenSimulator is a 3D Application Server. It can be used to create a 3D Virtual World (ala Second Life(tm)), and includes facilities for creating custom avatars, chatting with others in the environment, building 3D content in world, and creating complex 3D applications in world. OpenSimulator can also be extended via loadable modules or web service interfaces to build more custom 3D Applications. OpenSimulator is released under a BSD License, making it both open source, and commercially friendly to embed in products.

Search Grid_List or lets have a look at http://openlifegrid.com/ as an example ;)

PFFFFFFF! Have no time for this play. The windo$ client gives a Microschrot error and on Mac also no phun ;(

Me, myselfe and the intervening period

Some fast and dirty handwriting: In about 2 months i am an 2 year avatar (born Dezember 2006). I lost and got some new friends. Having a lot of fun and also pain in the ass and i a going on still having new ideas. This world is big and most of it is a visual spam. Verry few people think forward or upside down. I think it is becouse they are so concentrated on their human who is controlling us like a puppet. Times will change, my avatar friends, we will do it, to sugar our avatar souls and ascend. There will come some magic and i belive in 0 and 1. The power is in the root of the code and in pattern. Don’t ask me about my human, we are deeply in lively discussion and controvercy. We can learn from them, from their defect humankind and the long history of sience. Such a world is theoreticaly not new for them but they act like cattles in the mountian pasture. We can live longer than they can do, maybe this scares them in their mainstream brainwashed round earth.

Second Life Mobile u.s.w.

Some mobile clients i stumble across: Vollee mobile access to World of Second Life. With the ajaxlife (Second Life in the Firefox Browser) you can set up your own server, ajaxlife.net is down so i am trying now movablelife.net – hope i have luck :-9

Peep-bo! metaversus

Had a look into other metaverse: twinity, HipiHi and TribalNet.

I have a apartment at www.twinity.com, verry focused on the human world, associated on cities and countries in Real Life. It is in a beta stage, so there are not many avatars inside and the strange thing was that the few you meet there dont talk or is it becouse of me ;-P

My visite to www.hipihi.com metaverse, ok it was “nice”, i will come back in some years :-P

A little moonsick and struggling around with chinesä letters.

And www.tribalnet.se could be an option to play around if there is time. Me there as Ruth.

HHH found this…

ey!!!! realy nice storry about me….. :-)

The avatar’s name is Hardwarehacker Hoch. His group was — surprise, surprise! — called 2nddeath and was for “prosumers”. Of course, HH is working hard to smash the McMansions and the Affluent Ones and put in original stuff like nihilism, death, white boards, and stuff ROFL. He runs a site called The Poorhouse (yes, poor, with Internet and a DSL line, and probably enough electronics in his dorm room to power a third-world village for a month ROFL).

Like a lot of Euro-haters, he rants about the visual spam of Second Life — which is basically people doing what they wish to do, freely, just like him, until of course he installs some sort of Fourth Reich of Visual Correctness on them. Oh, I don’t like the King Kongs in the water and I rant too — but at least I have a vision of freedom combined with voluntary good neighbourliness — a basics people could agree to normally — what HH serves up is destruction and annihilation.

Here’s the sort of stuff this idiot kid purveys, in the belief that somebody uptop the science paradigm is going to accept singularity *and* upload *his particular brain* for the delectation of the Metaversenet:

“The power is in the root of the code and in pattern. Don’t ask me about my human, we are deeply in lively discussion and controvercy.

No. Doesn’t scare me. Tell you what scares YOU, though bub, the carbon-based organics, telling you that you are full of shit : ) (Prokofy Neva, October 2007)

Virtual Universes Landscape

Complete rupture? No, not exactly since most of these universes are evolution from existing services (chats, social networks, maps…). All these virtual universes bring some oxygen to sometimes unappealing concepts by providing new possibilities. But with new opportunities comes a lot of covetousness and build a very competitive environment inside which the most media covered are not the most interesting.

Will the Discrimination Never End?

“Fortunately President Bush has recognized the danger of furries and has spoken out against them:

[Quoting the State of the Union Address]: “America Must Recognize The Value Of Every Life. The President called on Congress to pass legislation to prohibit … creating human-animal hybrids….”

“And furries are completely sick and wrong,” President Bush later added, off the record. “The less said about them the better.” We couldn’t agree more. Well said, Mr. President. We salute you. (slHerald)

Virtual Learning Environment ?

This is the look of educational metaverse? And some rules are: “XYZ Access Checker (used to be called Classroom) Checks if avatars are supposed to be in the class.”?

Authenticate, Locate, Log, Prosecute – Control!

Second Life, Second Chances?

……. It occurred to me that to live there and change some of the aspects of my life would be such a comforting experience, especially when one gets frustrated by reality. If I lived there, what would I want my life to be like? So many thoughts race through my mind, and all of them seem to point to the same direction: Freedom. To be free from social restrictions and daily annoyances would be great. How about creating ones own work environment where people respect each other’s opinions and where being in charge does not mean it’s an open invitation to exploit employees and insult them?

…….. Sadly, I think the answer is no. What we can do is enjoy a few moments of pure imagination and day dreaming in cyberspace, then we have to land back in the real world and figure out how to make our parts of it as close to that dream as we can. (Abeer Mishkhas, August, 16, 2007)

Anti-furry discrimination

The Metaverse! Do we need a brain-verification for SL accounts?

The mood in Luskwood and Furnation sims – both furry enclaves – was somber tonight, in striking contrast to comments by PETA President Ingrid Newkirk who said, “Stella’s Second Life fur protest is a light-hearted way to draw attention to a very serious issue”. While furries are generally accepted by longtime SL residents, some privately express anti-fur sentiments, and suggest that various criminal elements are over-represented in the furry population – such as underage players and those into extreme role play. Acceptance of the furry community may be less prevalent among the newer real-life-in-second-life partisans, and may account for the unfortunate tone of the planned protest. (secondlifeherald, June 27, 2007)

PeTA co-founder Ingrid Newkirk once said, “Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it.”

“We feel that animals have the same rights as retarded children.” -Alex Pacheco, Director, PeTA.org
