[Farewell to Yoz Linden]

Long term Linden Lab employee Yoz LInden (Yoz Grahame) is no longer with Linden Lab.

Farewell tweet from Yoz

I don't see an explanation yet.

[Linden Lab is making a Minecraft clone called Patterns and a tablet app called Creatorverse.]

I might be overlooking this already having been posted, but Linden Lab is making a Minecraft clone called Patterns and an iPad tablet app called Creatorverse.

[Abbotts Aerodrome is closing soon.]

Abbotts Aerodrome, the airport that's been next to Sandbox Cordova for the past 8 years or so, is closing soon, so if you want to see it again or for the first time, best act quickly. It's closing September 1.

[non-SSE2]

My old computer that I'm stuck with for the time being doesn't do SSE2 instructions.

Any chance that any V2 based viewer, from Ll or 3rd party, will ever work on this old machine?

Did you mean "mesh objects" there instead of "sculpties"?

[Many Linden Lab employee's wiki user pages are being deleted.]

Might be. I'm not up on what's going on with the wiki. There is not likely to be a My.Profile page for former employees.

[Many Linden Lab employee's wiki user pages are being deleted.]

A hat tip to the early Linden Lab staff : Ben, Catherine, Colin, Cory, Dan, Doug, Jim, Philip, Phoenix, Richard, Robin, and Ryan.

[Many Linden Lab employee's wiki user pages are being deleted.]

According to tweets from @Oobscure, many Linden Lab employee's wiki user pages are being deleted. Philip Linden's page is said to be among the deleted pages.  They are still Google's cache at present, says @Oobscure.

Linden Lab has never shown any respect for the history of virtual worlds.

[Are virtual pets just the latest money pit?]

It's something people might enjoy enjoy and spend money on that requires no new work by Linden Lab. I suspect that has something to do with LL's promotion of virtual pets.

[Captions Game host from 2004 or so]

I'm from the U.S.

[Captions Game host from 2004 or so]

"Trimming Hedges" is it. I knew there was something "cute" about the name. I suspected the H for the initial of the last name.

Somehow my brain had decided the name had something to do the Monopoly board game, which I now conclude was a total fabrication.  Mislead by that line of thought, I'd have never have figured it out.

"Les White" had a black avatar, and the name "Les White". This struck me as extremely funny.

[Captions Game host from 2004 or so]

Who was it that hosted the Captions game back in 2004 or so?

Captions was a game where the host displayed a picture and the contestants had to make up captions which were voted on.

I remember seeing Cocoanut Koala and Les White there one time.

 

 

[HTML in posts]

What HTML is allowed in forum posts when using the HTML tab in the post editor?

I think I'll be asking my questions in the forums.

 

[If you forget to check "Email me when someone replies"when you first post, how do you do it later?]

Sorry, I don't see how I could not have seen the subscribe option, but apparently I did manage to look at those options several times and not see it. I guess maybe I saw and tried the Subscribe to RSS option first and from then on that was all I could see. I don't know.

 

At any rate, thanks everyone for being so persistent.

[If you forget to check "Email me when someone replies"when you first post, how do you do it later?]

Thanks for your persistence. Sorry to have been both dense and grouchy.

[If you forget to check "Email me when someone replies"when you first post, how do you do it later?]

Sometimes I am not swift, and sometimes I am in a bad mood. Thanks for your help.

[If you forget to check "Email me when someone replies"when you first post, how do you do it later?]

I am embarrased to have been so unseeing and then to have been a grouch in my comments and editing of my posts. Thanks.

[If you forget to check "Email me when someone replies"when you first post, how do you do it later?]

If that is retroactive, that would apply to al threads, not a specific one.

[If you forget to check "Email me when someone replies"when you first post, how do you do it later?]

I don't think that is retroactive.

[If you forget to check "Email me when someone replies"when you first post, how do you do it later?]

That causes me to subscribe to an RSS feed, which is read with a feed reader.

[If you forget to check "Email me when someone replies"when you first post, how do you do it later?]

That causes you to subscribe to an RSS feed, not to have email sent to you.

[If you forget to check "Email me when someone replies"when you first post, how do you do it later?]

If you forget to check the "Email me when someone replies" checkbox when you first post, how do you do it later?

I'm not wanting to subscribe to an RSS feed, so the item in Options for subscribing to an RSS feed, which you read with a Feed reader, doesn't seem to be  what I'm looking for.

Three people have given the same answer, so don't give that answer again.

 

[My memory suggests that SLM was based on some open source ecommerce software. If so what was it?]

My memory suggests that Second Life Marketplace was based on some open source ecommerce software.

If so what was it?

Is there anywhere to see this revealed, such as in the page source of a marketplace page?

I read earlier that SLM uses Ruby on Rails. That might well be, but RoR is not an ecommerce program, so I don't think that is the answer I'm looking for.

[Ray Kurzweil on words and A.I.]

I find Ray Kurzweil interesting to read about from time to time.
