I discovered Ruby's had an open wireless network while I was eating there last week. Was able to get in world for 10 minutes and buy a neighboring 512m2 lot before my battery died....
...what, addicted? Never!  _____________________

Second Life is a very addictive toy. I prefer Perl, though, because that's addictive, free, and looks the resume. Call me when you can say the same about this wind-up monkey.

Philip Linden: Our plans for world domination are proceeding quite nicely Philip Linden: One concrete example of this will be hiring. Philip Linden: We have several positions open on the website now. Philip Linden: but will be adding many more in coming weeks. Philip Linden: Basically, if you do something you think is something we need here at LL, Philip Linden: and would like to look into working for LL, Philip Linden: send us your resume. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters. _____________________

Position: Urban/Regional PLanning Experience/qualifications: Successfully designed and implemented a public space and surrounding areas using virtual development software. Successfully designed innovative apartment dwellings which maximize space and profit. Successfully designed a virtual traffic system in a software simulation. Software which virtually simulates traffic systems is currently used in a statistical manner, utilizing many simulation runs and much educated analysis to determine trends and forecasts about how things should turn out if all the conditions are met. It is a simulation, not real life, and it takes a lot of experience and study to be able to use professional-grade software of this nature effectively. There are many, many different real life considerations that must be taken into account when it comes to envisioning, developing and managing apartments, businesses or any other sort of real life real estate proposition (water, sewer, electricity, local design codes, traffic flow/mitigation, public transit options, zoning, proximity to schools, soil type, flood plain location, and on, and on, and on). Second Life is a fun toy in its current incarnation. Until you have to start worrying about plumbing your SL apartments and paying taxes on them, LF, I'd suggest you leave the fact that you build stuff in a virtual world off your resume. |

But there was an article in Wired a few weeks ago about an urban planning professor teaching part of the class in SL, because it helped the students visualize planning concepts and whatnot... so it's not 100% off base.
So nyah. LF _____________________

I won't miss SL at all after tonight. Nope, not at all for the next 9 days that I have no computer access. Nope, not at all.

So nyah. LF Haha, LF, I knew you'd bring this up. I'd love to know exactly how the prof in that course is using SL. If it's part of an academic course, it legitimizes the experience, natch. If you're just dinking around on your own... well, it's a bit different. I may have to go looking for a syllabus from one of the courses being taught that is utilizing SL. I'm curious to see just how large of a role SL gameplay has in the total coursework. |

Hmm...SL and its forums are like a very, very good (or bad...depends on perception) drug. I connected to the free trial...and 5 minutes later decided "Screw the trial period...make me premium NOW"...Modeling, textures, Interactivity, Community....I'll never get anything done outside of SL now.
First post! a HUGE hello to all you guys and gals! |

Welcome to our world Xtopherxaos! I've forgotten what that big box in our living room is for. It displays a continuous loop of pictures with sound. Seems like I remember sitting in front of it a lot before I found SL.

It's almost 7 AM.
I should be waking up about now. Instead, I'm going to sleep. How messed-up is that? _____________________
