There Are Hovering Palm Trees

There are hovering palm trees.

Some Killer Chopper Motorbikes

Some killer chopper motorbikes. Kiwi is flying behind them. There was some kitchen sink, Kiwi sat on, hovering somewhere, as well.

Kiwi And I We Found A Lighthouse

Kiwi and I we have found a lighthouse.

What About A New Car

What about a new car? I would never want to own a Mercedes car. Kiwi doesn't either.

Look, Someone Made A Circling Stream

Look, someone made a circling stream and two bridges crossing it over. You probably could put it in your garden, dooryard or backyard. The water actually circles clockwise.

Kiwi And I Found A House Today

Kiwi and and I we found a house today on Second Life which had its ceiling fan outdoors. We have never seen this before. The ventilator blades rotate on Second Life, actually.

Kiwi Has Been Such A Good Boy Today

Kiwi has been such a good boy today. We only flew a little way and that was it. Well yes, and there was time taking the pic. In the morning, however, I thought one of the objects I rerezzed wasn't rerezzed. But, it simply took a little longer for this one specific object to be rerezzed. Nothing was lost. Any prim had been taken back to the inventory and was rerezzed therefrom again, properly.

Again I'm Logging In

Again I'm logging in now. But, I'm not going to do much on Second Life. Kiwi then looks at me as if he would know. I, perhaps, could log in a little later too.

I Logged In To Second Life Today

I logged in to Second Life today. It felt Kiwi thought I was going to take away bandwidth from him again. I got no idea how he got there.

Hi, I Wasn't On Second Life Today

Hi, I wasn't on Second Life today. I thought I had to let Kiwi rest for a while, therefore I fell asleep the other day. The other thing was that I read on the LSL Wiki and then the whole site was gone, with all the tabs even. I couldn't redo the site, because it did not show in the browsers site history. I mean. I may have closed it by accident. I don't know if you may know of this behavior of Mozilla Firefox.

Second Life Is Running Greatly

Second Life is running greatly on the 12Mbps. I keept the viewer open overnight, since, I fell asleep. By now, Second Life still is running like as if it is just being started. Kiwi is doing wonderful on the bandwidth. He just kicked a blue cube because he felt teased a little by me.

The Alphaville Herald The Second Life Newspaper

The Alphaville Herald the Second Life newspaper. I can't really tell if there are being other Second Life Newspapers but the Alphaville Herald. However, the reporting about anything Second Life to me seems very complex. Only, Second Life surly stretches about some acres of land owned by Linden Lab or actual Second Life residents. Therefore it might be though to cover anything what is going on. Therefore, one should not restrict exploring endeavours to reading the paper, I mean.

An Other Perspective On Kiwi (Part 2 )

This perspective provides the entire scenery seen from below the transparent level Kiwi stands on.

An Other Perspective On Kiwi

An other perspective on Kiwi. I simply love to show you what you can do with the camera. Any angle of view was possible.

"At This Point My Brain Melted"

"At this point my brain melted." I found this quote on the lsl wiki website. It's on the llMinEventDelay website. To rofl, please read all the text on this site, from top to bottom, first.

This Was A Magic Box

This was a magic box. There will be a car in it. When you create things in Second Life you put them in such a magic box to pass them on. You either could give them away for free or sell them. Kiwi is being in the background.

LlParticleSystem

The Linden Scripting Language Holds A Camera Function

The Linden Scripting Language holds a camera function. I didn't know this. I found a blog on the web that was teaching how to script spy and scan cameras and such odd things. The camera function is listed indeed below a function category on the LSL Wiki : HomePage. As Kiwi still grows older, as anyone does, he could become a spy one day.

Kiwi Is Growing Older

Kiwi is growing older. He wasn't the little baby who he used to be no more.

Kiwi Now Has 12000 Kbps Bandwidth

Kiwi now has 12000 kbps bandwidth, which renders to a smooth 12 Mbps, as you know. Well at this speeeeeed we need getting used to mbps instead of kbps, since, we don't have the additional space to print all the zeros no more.

However, I'm Back To The Same Issue

However, I'm back again to the same issue as before. I need to rotate a texture on any face of my cube so that it has a better look. This least, I'd love to try seeing what the look was like then.

There He Is Being Again

There he is being again. Anything seems to be working again. Lets try to make sure this Second Life viewer downtime won't happen again.

I'm Back On Second Life

I'm back on Second Life. However, a settings.xml file was renamed to settings.xml.old.

I couldn't say that I renamed the file, but the Second Life Viewer was up and running again.

Kiwi is doing great it seems.

What a mishap.

The Grid Status Blog Went Mad

The Grid Satuts Blog went mad. I have not seen such an amount of activities over there before. However, the program still does not work for me.

A New Posting On The Issue

A new posting on the issue, at the grid status report blog gives hope again.

'[Resolved 12:46PM PST, 15 November 2011] All residents should be able to log in again.

[Posted 12:15PM PST, 15 November 2011] Some residents may be unable to login at this time. We are aware of the issue and are working on a resolution. Please keep an eye on this blog for updates.'

It was the same message, but posted a few days after the first one was posted.

This means, something severely seems to be broken at Second Life servers side. I don't need to worry that something is put to a dead end now regarding my own computer. Well, this then was good news, however. I wish I knew about Kiwi and how he feels about all of this.

I Wasn't Aware Of This Message Yesterday

I wasn't aware of this message yesterday:

'[Resolved 6:54am PST, 13 November 2011] All residents should be able to log in again.

[POSTED 6:19am PST, 13 November 2011] Some Residents may be unable to login currently. We are aware of the issue and are working on a resolution. Please keep an eye on this blog for updates.'

Well it was posted only today, obviously. However, the login still does not work for me.

An Update On The Issue

An update on the issue I can provide, the start up of the viewer stops at 'Initializing VFS'. Then the Second Life Windows crash logger kicks in, which in turn is killed by Windows shortly after. This is being horrible, however. Firstly, I thought the crash logger will kill the startup of the Second Life Viewer. But it does not.

The viewer itself does not get up running, however. I think the connection to the server is terminated at some point. Since, the same goes for the crash logger when I understand 'Connecting to server, try 1...' right. This is being the point when Windows kills this program and pops up an according error message itself. This is being really bad.

My days do feel dire now.

The Grid Status Report

The grid status report says something about scheduled server maintenance, but I can not say if the probs are being related, ultimately.

Second Life Not Working For Me

Second Life isn't working for me, since the last automatic viewer update. The viewer issues worsened for the time Linden Lab didn't allow users to update the viewer manually.

Updates were installed automatically with the graphics settings sometimes set back to somewhere. Now the cash flow will stop, I'm sure. Folks will not finance this disaster any longer. Do you know the movie 'Startup' with Ryan Phillippe? We have gotten there and beyond, in some way.

It can't be taking much longer until a nude man steps thru the door talking to a hand and the disaster takes its course.

I'm pretty sure Kiwi is being ok, however.

By the way, I found an other post to a newsgroup that is being written about the air force on Second Life.

I Don't Get A Locked Texture To Work, Properly

I don't get a locked texture to work, properly. However, I do can apply it manually to a cube, but I cannot apply this texture to the cube by a script. It might be about the texture was locked. I'm trying to figure this out, but the web does provide none to little information on the issue, only.

Therefore, any face of the cube is looking same I had to rotate the texture on the cube, once it is put on the cube.

I Want To Show You An Other Image Of The Region

I want to show you an other image of the region. Do you see the fire going? There is being even smoke on top of it. To the right side, there was being a waterfall.

At the German Tutorial

Kiwi is being at the German Tutorial. A huge cheese bell, which covered a small house, made Kiwi walk in the sandbox and logged us out room Second Life. We will be back in a while.

As for now, Kiwi and I we are hearing the oceans waves break ashore. Not too bad either, which does not mean we are being ok with the huge cheese cover.

For a moment there were freaky voices around. I'm not sure if they belong to the region. We will see if they are going to (be ) loop(ed ). How do they say? Ahh right, too good to be true.

See What Arthur Wingtips Is Shaping

See what Arthur Wingtips is shaping. It will be the top of a pagoda. Once he persuades it to work. He said.

What an amazing world Second Life was.

Kiwi And I

Kiwi and I we are being idle today. We did't do much on Second Life.

Kiwi Is Being Ok

Kiwi is being ok. Everything seems to work as usual again.

I Have Been Logged Out From Second Life

I have been logged out from Second Life twice today. I don't know what is going on, but this road works warning sign might tell.

When You Drop Something On A Sandy Soil

When you drop something on an sandy soil the impact of the object on the soil will be different than from the solid soil. Even, there had been being an other sound as the object touched the ground. The sounds are being great to listen to in Second Life, by the way. As well, the object does bounce different on different soils.

Kiwi Is Being In A Robotic Battlefield Zone

Kiwi is being in a robotic battlefield zone. Kiwi wanted to be on the image but I didn't know how to take him to this level. The rotating circle actually reads 'OBSERVATION DECKS'. Just like on starship Enterprise. Only for the little light it feels somewhat different, I think.

Second Life Information

Some Second Life Information.

All Such Sort Of Folks You'll Meet

All such sort of folks you'll meet in Second Life. Do you see him?

He does hover atop the bench and he is burning. Now, you're left to make something of it.

An Another Image Of Kiwis Steaming NASA Coffee Mug

An another image of Kiwis steaming NASA coffee mug.

Kiwi Would Love To Show You His NASA Coffee Mug

Kiwi would love to show you his NASA coffee mug. He got it for free when we were being in NASAs region. It's a cool make. Do you see the coffee slightly steaming on top?

Not Too Much Fun

It's not too much fun for Kiwi today, so far. I did not even log in to Second Life. Therefore, I can't say what he is doing.

Kiwi In Halloween Town

Kiwi has been in Halloween town today. What a spooky scene. I'm not a friend of spook Kiwi not either.

Kiwi Is Having A Cola

Kiwi is having a Cola.

Simply Put

Simply put, the particular type of accuracy, due to the virtual 3D shape of the Second Life environment, I do love especially.

You could draw and move objects by hand. Or, you could detail build them by hand. Or you may fill values in text fields. As well as you can type, not only mathematical, data in scripts to personalize build objects.

This seems to be a lot of work and less a joy, but you have to keep in mind that you always can copy or copy and paste what you are doing. Even, all the work is stored on the servers. You don't need to take care for backups. How cool was this?

Well you know, when you don't have proper backups of your data you should consider not to do anything on the computer at all.

Computer side, these all were advances that you wouldn't find anywhere else. The future needs to be created.

Another Cool Thing

Another cool thing about Second Life was how real things can be moved or dropped.

This image shows a cylinder hovering over ground.

On this image the cylinder already came to rest after it was dropped.












On both images, the hemicone on the ground is not moved. It is being a reference point.

When I built some object and moved it to a position over ground it would drop and hit the ground just like in real life. You would not necessarily remember that you were on a computer.

To drop the object you need to set it physical, by the way.

Well, I am not someone who does enjoy crushing things. But, let me say, to move things is something done in a personal way.

When objects fall in Second Life it gives you an indication about how real Second Life feels. This then makes you to further research about how the Second Life world is built. Well, you will love to find out all about it. Objects in Second Life, for instance, are being build. They are not being part of the Linden Scripting Language. You see?

Well, this takes some burden away learning a programming language, doesn't it? Since, you understand that it takes much more to script than stupidly apply functions and methods and variables to any, like, thought object.

These objects that you apply an enhanced functionality are being real in Second Life.

I think that it could be crucial and the only way to advance in space. To build a star fleet and other true space ships and space docks and huge space stations, which could be inhabit forever.

The main point, one simply needs to find a way to prevent someone who might be in a rush of panic, for some reason, to drop the energy source of the ship.

It will be necessary to keep up the earth like environmental conditions on the ship. I'm wanting to go as far as to say, when you drop the energy of the ship the ship were to fall apart. Think about it. It will be true. We don't live in about 2400. Therefore it is being though to be predicted.

Anyway, is isn't being done like this on todays aircraft carriers, for instance. And it never has been done that way.

The Second Life Environment Controls

The Second Life environmental controls are a lovely feature. You see clouds structure and clear up again, as they move by. The sunsets are amazing, all the time. I need to post video, because on images I never could show how fantastic it is done.

Kiwi Is Wearing A Black Shirt Now

Kiwi is wearing a black shirt now instead of the the other freebie shirt. It has some silver accents that do shimmer a little.

To me this appearance is being a bit dark, but the accents do their part. Kiwi is liking it, I think.

A Story About Second Life

A story about Second Life I want to share. Once Kiwi teleported to somewhere in Second Life. I can't remember where that was, at all. All of a sudden there were sounds and light and right where Kiwi stood a telephone booth materialized. Just like the old red ones you'll know from London or the UK. Kiwi and I we were completely complexed and puzzled about what was going on. He then always will look towards me, for a very short moment.

Then, after a little while, a lad who was dressed like you where in the 19th century, I would say, came out of the booth. He moved like he was dizzy and I would say he fell and prior hit his head on the telephone booth.

It felt like he had been coming out of a time machine right in front of me.

By now I remember. The thing was he needed several attempts to materialize with this telephone boot, witch made the whole situation even more perplexing.

When I asked him what he would do in this telephone booth he said something like he would travel Second Life in this thing.

Well but to travel Second Life you don't need to have a telephone booth. Rather, you teleport wherever you want to.

However, he went back to this telephone booth and, by now, I never saw this guy again.

An Autumn Scene In Second Life

An autumn scene in Second Life. Kiwi is standing on the right side on the sidewalk. He's watching the fountain and the lights.

Do You Know The Folks?

Do you know the folks? On the very left there even was Tux. He is being the mascot of the Linux kernel. Next to him to the right was Salvador Dali, then Albert Einstein and of course Bob Marley. The sleepy, bored guy on the desk was unknown to me.

In the foreground, known for his back, Kiwi Seaside, of course.

The NASA Even Does Maintain Its Own Sandbox

We had to leave the region, since it was restarted. Kiwi went to the NASA region again. The NASA does maintain its own sandbox in this region.

Well, the NASA has more than this one region. There even could be other NASA sandboxes. Anyway, for educational or new research purposes, what a cool idea. Lots of research and testing has to be carried out to overcome gravity, for one. Once, this was accomplished, but, once we overcome gravity - we need to deal with weightlessness.

Well, and this surly takes some bravery. Specific bravery, unknown for any single individual who will be bound to explore our universe. It might be named an other quality of bravery versus for what it takes on earth, to make things happen. With a few exceptions probably, I mean.

The NASA In Second Life

Yesterday Kiwi and I we were in a region which was maintained by the NASA.

I wanted to take pictures, but the entire sim used to be packet with rockets and all sorts of larger objects. Therefore, I could not find a proper place where to take the pics from.

By the time I'm typing this lines what comes into my mind, I need to check if the NASA allows to take pictures on there property. Could very well be the NASA prohibit visitors to take pictures.

Well, the NASA has accomplishes astounding missions in real life. The same goes for the impressions I do have of the NASA in Second Life. Kiwi will agree, certainly.

Building And Rezzing

Wow, building and rezzing does work again. But only for one object plus. One other object I have had around prior has been deleted by me. Well, folks have strict rules in place these days.

Anyway, when Kiwi builds something he is looking like a real magician.

First Time

Today, it is being my first time, that I can not rez or built an object in the sandbox.

I am being prompted of too many objects in the sim, while I am trying to rez an object. While I am trying to built a new object, I was being informed of '... doing so would overflow the parcel'.

There is something going on.

Actually, you can own virtual land in Second Life. You might be able to control the parcel in several ways. For instance, the owner could plan on something.

Perhaps, there will be some event coming up, or something.

Kiwi Was Online Today

Kiwi was online today. Otherwise,  how do I say when I log in and Kiwi comes live on the Internet? Well, another tough question to answer.

Places For Newbies in Second Life

There are being many places in Second Life which are designed for newbies, specifically. Any place you can think of like Welcome Areas, Save Hubs, Information Hubs as well as places which you are taught tutorials, among many other places. Signing up for Second Life will be truly worth it.

It's free and a joy. Just try out Second Life as you may be in the mood for some virtual reality. Just to let you know of a good way to participate in something sensible.

Hi, I Want To Show Off A Second Life Default Script

Hi, I want to show off a Second Life default script. Only to see what it looks like when it is put in the HTML <code></code>  tags.

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
}
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llSay(0, "Touched: "+(string)total_number);
}
}

Hmmmm....., not too bad.

I Woke Up Kiwi Today

I woke up Kiwi, today in the morning. I'm still puzzled if he does known that I'm around? Well, this condition will last forever, I think. I mean, we never can meet somehow. He is being a computer man, so to speak, while I don't live in the computer. Might be any one of us is living in the Matrix but this isn't being considered being the same.

An Other Image Of The Sandbox

This is being an other image of the sandbox. It was being snapped by me, when Kiwi was flying over the sandbox. When Kiwi is flying sounds are heard. Sounds just like wind noises. They are being heard once the wind is blowing pretty heftily, by normal conditions.

In Second Life you could hear the sounds when you'd fly.

This pane Kiwi does fly towards is known as the one he stands on on previous images. On the larger version you'll have a better impression. Depending on your Internet bandwidth it might take while for the larger image to load.

Kiwi The Baby

By today, I'm noticing why I sometimes think Kiwi behaves like a baby. By now, he only was one year and one day old. Right, he still is being a baby. I signed up for Second Life Oct/18/2010.

This date was his birthdate which was shown in his profile. Well, Kiwi was so sweet. I do love him. On the newly taken image he is looking indeed like a baby does. Happy Belated Birthday Kiwi Seaside.

Please click on the image to have shown a larger version of it.

Second Life Crashed

The Second Life viewer crashed on me today. Don't know what happened, but Kiwi surely did not have a share on it.

Hmmmm, by the time that I'm typing this, who knows. Might be he manages to crash the viewer. I better will let him rest a while.

Well, I try to be kind, but he sort of feels an other way about what I do.

Meaning, he will not have an other image of him published on the blog today. This was too bad.

Looks Like Sunset

It looks like sunset in the sandbox. The actual Second Life time was about a quarter to noon. I never truly figured what time it was in Second Life. Kiwi might know about it.

Again, but many cool events are going on in Second Life. A Jazz & Art Festival kicked off last weekend Oct/15/11. It will last until Nov/13/11.

Jazz & Art Festival in Second Life

Teleport Not Working

Teleporting is not working at the moment. Kiwi has to stay in Braunworth, as for now.

An other scene from Braunworth. The image center shows a billboard which does advertise going to London in Second Life.

A light dome in Second Life seen from top of it.

The light is alternating, only now a still image.

New York City Subway Station

Once Kiwi has been in a New York City subway station. With trains arriving and passengers getting on and off the trains. Well, might be they were bots. But other folks were around I chatted with, for a while.

No Fog In Braunworth This Time

There was no Fog in Braunworth this time. Last time I was in Braunworth there used to be no fog either.
But, I remember Braunworth is known for its foggy mystic mood. You really would feel the moisture. The least I thought I could feel it. To sad all the fog seems to be gone. Where will the fog have moved to?

Kiwi Sitting On A Blue Cube

This is Kiwi sitting on a blue cube we (he ) made. There was one region in Second Life I think I kinda love. But, I haven't got around there largely. It is called Braunworth and always foggy. Yes right, always a foggy veil is cloaking everything in Braunworth. It's a mystic place therefore. Let us see if we can take some images in Braunworth. We'll let you know.

Art In Second Life

Art was being huge in Second Life. Anything can be done. Nothing was impossible. These are being two flexible cubes which emit light and do stick into each other.

Still In The Sandbox

There is being an other avatar with me in the sandbox today.

I asked him to take an image to put it up on my blog. He was ok with it. Snap away he said. lol

His skirt was made from a sprinkled texture and it is moving, Kiwi and I do think. Most amazing it was.

I am Kiwi Seaside

Hi, I am Kiwi Seaside. Ain't I am a wonderful young avatar?

In The Sandbox

Today, Kiwi and I we spent time in the sandbox for the most part. Kiwi had to leave prior to when the region was restarted. We went to AMDs Developers Central. Grab the ATI Shirts at the first floor when you should tp. Kiwi would have a free coffee in the morning, which doesn't work no more. Same goes for a free hot dog. Kiwi could enjoy it only twice, I think.

Thinking About What To Put Up To The Blog?

Well I'm thinking about what to put up to this blog? For a while, I meant one should keep Second Life secret to oneself, personally. Meaning, not to tell anyone about the virtual reality.

Not to say about the scripts. This is being crucial really. Should you open your scripts to the public? Just like that anyone will know about your personal way to script?

Well, I need to confess I don't have some conclusive answer to this question of mine. I just keep on trying.

I personally mean rather not, but one could like describe the approach to a finally working script, as for now.

Hello Everyone!

Hello Everyone!

This was a new blog about Second Life and the life on Second Life. I love to program in LSL and may use this blog to utter the one or other thought about scripting in Second Life.

Remarkable was the fact that you can really lock your scripts, which you can't do about any other virtual place. As for what I do know so far the least. Knowing this is providing me with some sort of confidence I couldn't find any better place. Second Life only wasn't virtual, but like virtual twice.
