Linkies: a collection
March 7, 2007 7:04 amA random collection of Second Life related www-links I think are worth checking out:
- SLtree.com - Tired of using search to find a nice sim to hang out? The grid is down and you want some first life reading material about second life? Second Life Tree is a directory that contains SLurls as well as ordinary ones.
My two favs? ‘Sightseeing & Adventure’ for exploring the Second Life and ‘Web Resources’ for when I don’t feel like bying extra bandwith. Codie & Vic, the Paradise Lost Club is listed, where is your CodeRedLounge? :d - Notabene-sl.com - If you need a Second Life contract ‘made official’ this is where you gol Nota Bene, a Second Live’s notary. ‘A Notary certifies signatures on documents. That is, it assures that a signature made on a document was indeed made by the avatar making it.’
Nota Bene also supplies model documents for building contracts, lease agreements, credentials, group statements, … Don’t expect to much of that, as there is no way to enforce the contract, but it can come on handy. If you have some free time (eg. the grid is down), you could also read this reflection on ‘The Rule of Law in Second Life’. - Avatar Toolbox - The Avatar Toolbox might not look slick, but it gives an easy to grasp explenation about what your avatar actually is and how to build a new one/mod one. That and a heap of links to other intersting avatar/building/clothing/… related tutorials. Refer newbs there, please! (Ow, and they give the most understandable information about invisiprims I’ve read until now.)
- AV UV templates - A part of Robin Wood Second Life Tutorials: Vector clothing templates!!! *cheers* Why didn’t I find these any sooner? Other interesting Tuts from Wood: easy way for creating alpha masks, lace (partly shine through) textures, … .
- Build (Cloth, Building, Script, …) - An overview of all tutorials Natalia Zelmanov has written on her blog until now. Amongst my favorites: Shirt Collars and Ties and Prim positioning.
Torley’s SLexicon - Just laughed my ass of with this one. I *heart* the whole blog, especially because of his humerous writing style and his way to put himself and other things into perspective, which he has proven again with this lexicon. If it was not for me suspecting him of enslaving tons of watermelon-elves in a giant factory and forcing them to create those awesome textures, I would beg her to move into my skybox. ;)

It is always interesting to read where you can find what in SL. As not every “player” has the time to go looking for the most attractive places or actions, I surely appreciate your work, for giving some links, which is certainly a useful help for further discovering the wonderful world in SL.
It would take several months to gather this information, if you don’t have the help from your “friends”.
Your picture of my ancestor is AWESOMELICIOUS, Vint. Gosh, I have that saved to my hard drive too, because mmmm mmm good with your photographic talents. One thing I love (of many) about having a blog is we can express and share info so quickly.
The SLexicon thing partially came out of reading the appendix of Dune, and then going “Well, there are some words I have to share…” thus it came into being pretty quickly.
And oh thanxies a LOT for your tip about co.mments, I’ve been using them instead of CoComment for this week, and hoping to transition over. It appears to work well.
In addition, like Looker, I agree about compiling helpful links and providing personal context of what they mean to you (I’m not a big fan of just dropping a link-list).
Sidenote: Zarf Vantongeroo who did Nota Bene also made Backhoe, a freakin’ awesome whole region terrain editor. Mac-only, but it’s sure nice, and far more efficient than struggling with layers in .RAW files.
