1. enisa_pp_security_privacy_virtualworlds.pdf (application/pdf Object) - Position paper on some of the concerns associated with virtual worlds. The report published in November 2008 is entitled: “Virtual Worlds, Real Money: Security and Privacy in Massively-Multiplayer Online Games and Social and Corporate Virtual Worlds”
2. Best Practices for organizing SL/Real World events - SimTeach - “There seems to be a lot of interest in gathering knowledge on how multi-verse events that take place simultaneously in Second Life and the real world are best managed and organized. Is there an evolving set of “Best Practices” or a check-list of things to do to make sure your multi-verse event is a success? This has obvious applications to education, but also relates to entertainment, performance arts, and politics.” (via Bettina Tizzy)
3. Debug Settings - Second Life Wiki - “Access debug settings from Advanced menu > Debug Settings. The debug settings include unsupported hidden features that are not exposed in the standard user interface, in addition to settings that are exposed through the Preferences window. Most of the setting values persist between sessions, but some are not persistent. ” Knock yourself out! ;)

1. YouTube - Open Simulator performance testing - The guys over at 3Di has tweaked OpenSim to allow for 68 avatars in one region. It’s very prototype, closed source, and the avatars seem to be somewhat laggy, but it’s a good indication that the current 20-max will be dealt with eventually. (via lbsa71)
2. lbsa71’s Hacking Trees - “Today, I thought I’d show you how to attach a LSL/OSSL script to a tree, and in the process touch on some interesting concepts. The first thing you need to know is that tree and grass are really just prims with a special ‘PCode’ that tells the viewer to render them differently. In theory, you would be able to attach scripts to trees and grass in Second Life - with OpenSim, theory becomes practise!”

2. New World Notes - Can OpenSim Worlds Scale Better Than Second Life? - “Adam describes the troubles besetting OSGrid, among the largest OpenSim worlds, now with nearly 12,000 registered users and 2500 monthly active users. At that size, however, the OSGrid is already having trouble with its Asset Server, where all the clothing, vehicles, notecards, and other content avatars store in their inventory is actually kept. Trouble is, it already has “several million asset entries and a 75GB table file” and with less than several thousand users “is nearly full on disk space”. “

5. Cutting off copy-right infringers at the ISP - Land’s Intersection - “I’ve only recently come across a blog entry about a law that is meant to come into force here very soon - one that makes ISPs cut off Internet access once a customer has infringed copyright more than once, via their Internet service. It’s seen as a highly controversial move, mostly turning on the issue of proof of the infringement. The infringements (as the Bill currently stands) do not have to be proven in a court of law.”

1. Loki’s musings on first and second life - Wonderland - “”Project Wonderland”. It is described as a “toolkit for creating collaborative 3D virtual worlds.” Sun’s vision for this Java based multi-user virtual environment is to “provide an environment that is robust enough in terms of security, scalability, reliability, and functionality that organizations can rely on it as a place to conduct real business”. This all sounds like music to my ears because let’s be frank: SL is neither secure nor reliable and I have a hunch they are at the end of the ride in terms of scalability.”
2. Shep Korvin - Blog is the new Black: Leveraging freebies.. - “Here’s a thought: we all know that putting out freebies is a great way to get people to visit a particular Second Life location. But how else could you leverage the power of freebies? Could you - for example - persuade people to visit a particular web site by bribing them with SL goodies? And how - exactly - could you achieve that?”
3. The Parallel Selves Message Bridge - justincc’s opensim blog - The Parallel Selves Message Bridge (PSMB) can be used in a standalone OpenSimulator instance to exchange instant messages with people in another Second Life compatible target system. The target system can be another OpenSim standalone, an OpenSim grid or even the Linden Labs Second Life grid. The bridge works by relaying messages through an avatar account that you already have on the target system (hence the name Parallel Selves).

1. The Decision Making Process on Flickr (Photoshop by Vint) - Made for a worth1000.com contest a few weeks back. Mission? Photoshopping “The Thing”. I always wondered how the brain’s decision making process worked. Luckily, science - with a little help from Photoshop - , can figure everything out: even in the human brain, someone or something eventually puts it’s fist down.

3.

Every week I shall pick an Issue from those suggested and, well, comment upon it - providing scripts and examples and as much detail as I can manage.”
4. Calling All Metaverse Wanderers!: our new Virtual World Directory | Rezzable - “There is a lot of great stuff out there in the metaverse. Lots of cool places to check-out and many things to do there–but, it is really hard to find interesting enough places :0… There is a lot of noise out there and not enough tools to sift through it all. I actually don’t get out off the Rezzable patch much these days–er…ever. And that is really a shame. Anyway, we came-up with a community-oriented system (= something we can all do together online thing) to try to share cool places to visit on the grid–the Virtual World Directory. Join us in making a great guide to the metaverse!” The Boss
