My life in second life

Second life is one of the best things to do on a Friday, the building the scripting is great. The things I like in this program is the scripting with a good script will take you a long way for programming vehicles and objects that can pass the limit.

Nate,

Building and scripting

Hargall and Sin have been building amazing things, including an SL EdBoost that is getting more and more realistic. It's really a nice space now, and reminds me that the RL EdBoost is a nice space too! The SL version has much higher ceilings (the ceiling of the building is so high that it's way out of sight, and even when you try to fly up to it, it takes serious work to get there!). We are collecting a few "books" of useful things for scripts in the SL EdBoost computer lab.

Besides that towering building, we have some long low ones. One of them is partly wallpapered with sunsets and has some other nice blue and green materials, so it's a nice place to be and to work too.

We are all getting better at scripting. Hargall realized that he could put his knock knock joke script, and a music script too, into his hat. And Sin put a Foo Fighters looping script into his hat, so now when these guys have their hats on they are noisy! Totally under control now: copying scripts into objects and making small modifications. Beginning: complete understanding of the first scripts; figuring out what to do when debugging is needed; figuring out how to set the permissions (share with group, allow copy/modify/transfer) so that Hector and Tiplife can provide advice and keep track of progress. We practiced with sounds and music this week, and will do images next week, but these guys are looking forward to vehicles, animations, and programs that build things!

Issues/wishes:

• We have quite a lot of this is "litter" that could be cleaned up, but we have not decided how to do that. E.g. we want to return the extra motorcycles but leave our structures untouched.
  

• We have not been able to set a "media texture" or a parcel music URL (these are in "About Land", clicking on the region name at the top of the screen).
  

We have a couple more students coming through the orientation to join us too! That will be fun. I think they will probably catch up with the rest of us quickly.

First Improptu Meeting

Our first SL meeting...
Improptu and rather chaotic, but fun! If only you could see how many things are moving on this page -- not to mention Chestnuts flaming green outfit!
