• self-contained HTML pages for Sim-on-a-Stick
  how awesome is the VW community? pretty friggin’ awesome! (yes, friggin’)  =D Dana P. asked a scripting question to which i had no clue how to answer (if it isn’t an omega rotation or simple sit, then i am clueless!) =p his question was how to open an HTML page in a browser from clicking an […]
• those InWorldz peeps are nuts!
  by nuts, i mean in a great way! a handful of my old SL friends call InWorldz home and always speak well of it and i have a great relationship with Tranq (no, not that kind of relationship) =p two summers back Tranq helped me get my PC squared away so that it would properly […]
• Hax Nuit – should the items be on the map?
  since Hax Nuit – Hackers Sleepless City went public on december 16th last year, it has seen a total of 29 hours and 14 minutes of traffic (not counting my own time) that’s not a lot by Second Life standards but it is still an average of 13 minutes per day that someone is spending […]
• the tablet train has an Android locomotive
  the OpenSim community really wants a tablet viewer and Alina is doing a great job developing Lumiya the tablet market is something we recognize as an important one and it is also the market that mainstream is driving towards i read two articles and was blown away by the numbers and how quickly the computer […]
• Second Life’s private sim loss slowing?
  last year, Linden Lab saw Second Life lose an average of 8 private sims per day. with a full sim meaning $295 of monthly revenue, that loss is substantial any loss, or negative growth, is a bad thing for most companies, especially in the US where even Apple gets tons of gloom and doom media […]
• Sim-on-a-Ninja-Stick!
  more of a silly post than anything else but i received this nifty little Ninja USB drive for my bday =) i placed him on top of my work PC so that my back is covered (next to a Lego Ninjago samurai) and figured he (or she) would serve as an emergency USB drive. i […]
• superstar teacher and students present SoaS at university
  Ms Booth and her students are superstars in all imaginable educational ways and they use Sim-on-a-Stick in innovative ways that positively impact learning and retention. i’ve often referred to Ms Booth and shared her classroom successes with SoaS here on the blog recently, she lectured at Southern Cross University about her virtual world technology platform […]
• Wired magazine calls Kitely a replacement for Second Life
  i love Wired magazine (well, love is a bit strong – Wired is a necessary thing for “real” corporate nerds) and i have a long time friend who was an editor for Wired years ago. back in 2009 there “was a mention of yours truly for the cover of Wired magazine” (post on this blog) which never happened (the […]
• instructors and transfer stations at Kitely
  it’s no secret that i love Kitely – incredibly reasonable cost (cheap!) and outstanding service (better than a dedicated physical server). plus you can treat your world as a private grid with Twitter lists for access (among other group options) or be a part of their larger grid. i could go on and on but […]
• are Mac users less likely to use OpenSim to create stuff?
  boy, if that isn’t a loaded question! i wish Sim-on-a-Stick worked for the Mac but it doesn’t – well not directly. powers users like Dot Macchi and DreamWalker run it on Macs without any issue but they are technical whizzes (imo) many educators use Macs, so native use SoaS would be nice. maybe i’ll get […]
• want browser access to OpenSim?
  if you want browser-access to OpenSim to become a reality, show your enthusiasm by trying out the PixieViewer i learned about it from Maria at Hypergrid Business PixieViewer puts OpenSim in browser i checked it out (using Chrome) and it worked quickly and smoothly (seems smoother than the Kataspace viewer was and possibly more robust) […]
• what’s in a number – 6100 private SL sims
  i follow the growth and decline of Second Life private sims for a few reasons. SL was where i was created, i once had plans for 52 sims as supplemental income (only reached 19), the health of SL has a direct impact on OpenSim (perhaps less so now that LL has clamped down on TPVs), […]
• i don’t like Apple, but i love their new campus
  it’s not that i hate Apple, i’ve just never been a fan and have grown up with PCs however, from a virtual world perspective, i love the design for their new office campus! it totally looks like something you’d easily build in OpenSim. it’s inspired by the iPod wheel and has a neat looking courtyard […]
• Space Base Workstage – freebie OAR
  after watching Ms Booth’s latest video and seeing the use of the Giant Tree by so many students, i thought about the open building platforms it has and how it’s nice to have defined places to do tasks. OpenSim can be too much of a blank slate and it can be a good thing to guide others […]
• bestest SoaS video evah!
  apart from Ms. Booth having her students say thanks Enah! (say it in your head with a classic Aussie accent), the video in the post below is just cool to see how many instances of SoaS her class is running! seeing so many PCs in one room with OpenSim is almost overwhelming! most of us probably use OpenSim from our […]
• SoaS 0.7.5
  hooray, Sim-on-a-Stick has been updated to OpenSim 0.7.5! =) the 0.7.5 release of OpenSim brings many good patches, new features, and performance enhancements (release notes) the multi-region versions are set as megaregions and follow the numbering convention that Kitely uses. building on an SoaS multi-region version should mean that one single OAR can be di […]
• SoaS 0.7.5 downloads online
  the 0.7.5 SoaS downloads are done and have been tested a few times. i need to test a little more and then post the new SoaS website . . . for those who can’t wait, here they are: one region zip | one region installer | 4 region installer | 9 region installer | 16 […]
• adding TOS to your SoaS
  if you did the 0.7.5 update via Diva’s convenient Update function, you will have seen an attention box saying to read the release notes. yesterday we discussed what to edit regarding the new group functionality and it seems appropriate to complete her instructions (plus i am doing it right now for the SoaS downloads!) =) […]
• Third Grade Math projects in OpenSim
  behold the power of a great and innovative teacher mixed with the creative awesomeness of kids using Sim-on-a-Stick! =) direct YouTube link […]
• weird inspiration for world builds
  the other day i read an article about “drone-proof” cities and was intrigued by the concept. much like a past post about the Gardens by the Bay, inspiration for fantastical virtual world landscapes can come from the real world in virtual worlds, it’s not uncommon to find post-apocalyptic and steampunk inspired regions. maybe drones will usher in […]
