Hmmmmm this has gotten a wee bit stale....

Maybe I should add to it at some point...

oh...


oooops!

RL vs SL vs OpenSimulator + Digi = Stuff......

Heh.....

RL has been gobbling up my time, my Sweety is in SL waiting for me, and I cant stand the place any more.
Opensim is proving to be a far better place, various grids, and namely OsGrid are wildly out pacing SL in terms of development, innovation and most importantly freedom.

In Opensim, you can:

Build what you want at the size you want at the pace you want, its yours.
- Have as many simulators as you have CPU Cores and bandwidth to support.
- Run six different scripting languages (and counting).
- Have something called Megaregions, these are grids of two or more regions with the borders removed.
- Walk on a bumpy sculptie, and have it work just like walking on any other object or terrain.
- Bump into flexi prims. (or get snagged by them as is often the case presently)
- Have as many prims as you want, the usual per sim being 45,000- Turn gravity off, or upsidedown.

This list could go on for page after page of things you can do and the list of things that you will be able to do in the near future is limitless, totally limitless. I HATE LIMITS.

I used to think it would be nice if the Lindens would open-source their server code, but at this point I realize that it may just be too bloated, broken and hacked and patched to be any thing more than bothersome.

Within the next year I will have built a sizable grid of my own and attached it to OsGrid, it will be there to stay. it will be open, free and the sandbox will be gigantic. At present I am working on 4 sims at home in a 2x2 grid, I will expand that to 6x6 soon, and after that, I will be looking at a 32x32 sim megaregion, that's 5.09027 miles by 5.09027 miles, hardly huge by any standards of RL but in terms of a working grid, its vast, next year it will be considered small as 1024x1024 megas begin to crop up.

Sweety?
If you find this, dont worry, I will be back when I can.,
SMOOOOOCH!

or maybe not.....

Blue Otis is gone and the new place is weird and scary

I have a few more pictures..... maybe tomorow.....

The sim those were taken in is being dismantled....
I just took 3000 objects into inventory and I have another 3800+ to go.... almost all trees and plants.
blah.
Im getting OpenSim and running my own server from now on.

sleepy groggy tired

so heres another picture or two

ok.... now that I see how this works its starting to be sort of fun..

this could get out of controll... more pictures!!!

Great, these things are upsidown.... who came up with this?

oh well....

As I was saying down there.... cripes..... why is it upsidown? who the heck reads from bottom to top?

While RLV is aimed at the BDSM community, I intend to make use of it for an altogether different purpose, namely RP (roll playing). Since it can be used to restrain individuals and groups, why not whole nations and areas and army's? There are things called RLV zones, something I find fascinating, both in the context it was intended and in the context I intend to use it in, namely Feudal Japanese and other RP sims.... No im not going to discuss my pit, or what is going to happen to you when you are pushed in it, that's a different subject.
The idea of one person, perhaps an emperor, having total control of a group of subordinates who in turn control people running various lands with local meanies controlling groups of thugs.... and a bunch of peasants who are totally uncontrolled (and presumably furious), but with limited means to get out of their situation....

....crap, somethings updating...
/me hits buttons with out looking at them....

Where was I?
oh..... yah anyway this could make for some interesting stuff, actual power, and hopefully the abuse there of in virtual reality.... YES! goody! more war!
If the lindens were reading this we would all be in some trouble....


I forgot.....

RLV stands for The Restrained Life Viewer by Marine Kelley, its a bondage implementation of the Second Life viewer. RLV is included in the Cool Viewer.
Hmmmm wheres that blasted link.....

rummage
dig
search
smash
ouch

oh here it is:
http://realrestraint.blogspot.com/search/label/RestrainedLife
it was right there the whole time.


While RLV is aimed at the BDSM community, I intend to make use of it for an altogether different purpose. More on that in the next one of theses things....
Why are they called blogs? what does that mean? And no, Im not going to look it up.


/me needs more coffee

ooooo! Whats this button do?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

HA!

As one of Second Life's stranger PonyGirls and builders I am an avid user of Boy Lanes Cool Viewer and RLV, if you dont know what all that is I will provide a link in a moment (and a description of what it is, where it takes you and so on).
Her most resent addition to the list of cool things she does is the Shadow viewer, I havent found any shadows yet but Im ripping up everything in SL to look for them....
I WILLL HAVE SHADOWS!!!!!!!! I must have them, I want them I need them and I will keep digging till I find one.

Second Life (and other grids) for those who haven't seen it, or heard of it for that mater, is the beginning of the future of the internet, it is how we will be living and already a lot of us are, with people on the other side of the world.
It is a virtual reality environment divided up into a "grid" IE: Lots of squares (known as sims, or simulators) of land that you can walk around, fly, drive, or what ever in. There is an inworld economy linked directly to real world economy so its actually possible to make a living there and many do.

Cool Viewer is in my experience the most stable, and fastest way of being inworld, less crashes, better frame rate, and the building tools are better in many ways, that's a bunch of details....

Here is Boy Lane's site (Windows, yah yah yah, its embarrassing I hate it too):
http://my.opera.com/boylane/blog/

Hyang Zhao's site for Macs:
http://hyangreflections.blogspot.com/

For the main Cool Viewer and Henri Beauchamp Linux version go here:
http://sldev.free.fr/

Ok... all that aside, you need to make an account before you can get into the Second Life Grid to do that go here, and yes the website can be annoying:
http://secondlife.com/

Good luck with all that, theres more too, and I will add that as I go... for now this is the first blog I have ever made and Im about to see what THAT button does.

Cheers!
