  1. Argomento  interessante.
    personalmente, anche  perché  giro  poco,  non ho  visto  Avi  incinte, ma non mi stupirei.
    Hai  mai  provato a  parlarci, a  chiedere perché hanno scelto  di  rappresentarsi  così?  Un Avatar  non è un semplice "segnaposto" , è il rappresentante di  una  identità. 
    Posso  immaginare (se  si  pensa male) che  vi  siano anche , come  dire, situazioni  in cui  essere  con  un  certo corpo  ha solo  un senso  strumentale:  generalmente oggetto  sessuale, per dirla  tutta. Ma  non saprei. 
    Io  credo che  la  più parte delle rappresentazioni siano "sane", esaltano  quelle  che  sono  le attitudini  della  persona  che  li anima,  Direi  che  la  più parte dele persone  qui  è se stessa, magari  meglio:  più alta,  più giovane, più bellè: qui  la  bellezza  è un valore assoluto. Il "brutto"  è una estetica  voluta.
    Tante  Avi  incinta -  lo spero  per i  loro  ghost  (così mi  piace  chiamare la persona  che anima l'avastar) -   forse sono  desiderio di  tenerezza e di maternità.

    I enjoyed the read.

    Sailstice along with Sail 4 Life has become the sailing event of the year.

    Alot of that is to do with Pelagia's inclusive vision and ability to overcome personality clashes between some of the people involved. The full scope of the sailing, and motor boats, merfolk and coastguard community, including competing marinas and sailing estates all showcased there for free.

    I think the Cheung's have their covenant wrong headed in some fundamental ways especially with regard to no auto-return.... but respect where it is due with Cloud 9 and their sponsorship of Sailstice they are due full praise, and Pelagia's inclusive vision the key to that success. 

     

    Hi Aethelwine, I agree with you, the Sailstice I think is the event of the year, for the world of sailing in Second Life. I met Pelagia right there, and she introduced me to her project, which immediately convinced me. A story that I wanted to write.

    Let's not. This is an advertisement for a tiki bar which features ads for the lands in a private region, owned by the same people or group.  Also where is the discussion here?  You point to an interview on Facebook.

    Well, Garnet you actually point out a problem. However, I must say that this is not an advertisement, these are interviews. First of all the contents are released under a creative commons license, I do not receive any compensation from those I interview, I am not affiliated with anyone and I do not perform any paid editorial activity. Of course, what you say is true: this is a discussion group, and mine is not a question, it is an interview. But how it's possible to share here as well as in Facebook and other communities, what I write, I wouldn't know how to do differently. 
    What I can say is that I like to tell the stories of the people who live and work in Inworld, and I like to share them and hear what people think.
    Thank you for your critique though, all sensibilities should be discussed. 

  4. Choosing was difficult. As always in the cases of creative contest winners, the choices are a summary and a compromise.
    A summary of the quality and expertise of all the photographers in the contest that have fought on equal terms. 
    A compromise, because the criteria by which we judged the winning works and photographers have been many, not only the personal taste.

    I personally loved so many shots that made my job as a judge and selector difficult. All photographers deserve applause, and all have a place of honor in my ideal photo gallery.

    And so it will be in "The Gentle Breath of Script" Catalog, which we're going to put together this summer with all the photos on display that will be available in the marketplace and in the first room of the exhibit in Havna Bay.

    We are also working on a web version, and... I stop, I don't want to add anything else, it will be a surprise.

    In September we will resume the organization of other events, contests, and exhibitions of the best photographers and not only. 
    I invite you to directly see the works of the winners in Havna Bay 
    thank you again to all participants and I hope to see you soon participating in our next initiatives.

  5. #CLOUD9 #FIJIFloatingBar is a place to remember. Not only because it is fabulous, but because it is a place born from the desire to give shape to a dream, the dream of Pelagia Knosos (Malifax) that is now also part of my dream and that of the many virtual navigators in #SecondLife whose routes cross Cloud 9.
    The most beautiful experience in a virtual world is sharing dreams?
    Let's read his interview... And leave a comment if you like it.

    The Gentle Breath of Scripts - Sea Memories of Lives and Legends

    is a photography exhibition of virtual sailing ships, sailors and places.

    SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 13, 2021
    EXHIBITION: June 19 – 30, 2021

    The sea, whether real or virtual, is a source of inspiration.
    The Gentle Breath of Scripts is a photographic tribute to all Second Life sailors, sailing clubs, marinas, boatwrights and creators, and regatta organizers who have made the sea of Second Life an example of collaboration and governance toward a common good, in the name of passion for the sea, its rules, its values.

    The photo exhibition will be set up in Second Norway, at Havna harbor. The works presented in The Gentle Breath of Scripts will not all be gathered in one building, but will be distributed in a path that will introduce you to a hospitable and beautiful island.

    The Gentle Breath of Scripts is a SS in SL project of Sarah Ann Sailing in Partnership with Austin Liam of Manufactory and Second Norway.

  7. Dale Irata, like the different people interviewed in this series dedicated to the Blake Sea, is gifted with a predisposition to the imagination, necessary to have a vision of opportunities and organizational skills. Characteristics that distinguish entrepreneurs and that generally do not believe to be essential in a virtual world.
    Yet inreal, inworld, the two sides of the mirror are not only close and communicating, but are and will always be more and more parts of the same reality.
    Dale’s work has gone in this direction, the creation of the virtual Summer Sailstice in Second Life is an example of this path, today that the pandemic acted as an accelerator, but was already a reality.
    I admire Dale’s work and however small my contribution may be, I will try to help him in his endeavor. Even with an interview.

  8. Second Life is a fascinating world, which allows anyone to travel to fantastic places and discover cities, islands, entire continents traveling by any means: trains, cars, planes, ships.   The pleasure of discovery and travel is the basis of GTFO!  A logistics and exploration game for SecondLife that counts hundreds of players - enthusiastic transporters.
       
    DeNasty Tigerpaw the lead moderator of the GTFO community tells us his experience, but he also lets us know the players' experience, what are their interests and preferences by bringing us the data of an original survey conducted for this interview, absolutely not to be missed to understand the fascination of "slow" travel in Second Life.  

     "Creating stories around the world helps to make a place more memorable," says DeNasty, and we agree.

  9. Ciao Liv,  sono  molto d'accordo con Robert67, la barca permette una tranquillità nel passaggio fra le SIM che un aereo non ha. Nel Mare di Blake dove ho casa (precisamente a Second Norway) devo dire che il passaggio per una barca a vela o un normale yacht è praticamente indolore.
    In atto c'è un progetto dove è stato clonato il mare di Blake nei nuovi server cloud di second life. Questo test in Aditi sta dando buoni frutti, anche per gli aerei,

    Qui trovi  l'articolo di  Inara Pay BLAKE SEA IN THE CLOUD ON ADITI

    qui trovi  il forum con i test 

  10. How can an imaginary sea become a place of professionalism, a market full of opportunities, a place to live? These are the first three interviews with men and women who are making the history of Blake's sea.

    I knew the sea of Blake from Jacqueline’s boats. I fell in love with the sea in Second Life by browsing her blog, discovering her boats, testing them at sea.

  11. ciao Zievatron

    iniziamo  col dire  che  gli avatar non si comprano, si "indossano". L'avatar  è formato  da tanti  strati, ad esempio la pelle, il volto, i capelli,  i tatuaggi, gli  abiti... e via così
    Quello che  hai  comprato  è in  un box, è una  scatola  contenente diciamo  i  file  che  simulano  uno di questi  componenti.  Per aprire il box devi  cliccarci  sopra, e dal  menù scegli  "apri". Ti comparirà una  lista di  oggetti  e un tasto  per copiare i contenuti  nella  tua  inventory,
    Poi segui  le  istruzioni che  vi troverai  al  suo  interno, ma  ti  consiglio di andare a  vedere  qualche tutorial, perché non è molto  facile crearsi  un avatar. Io  me  lo sono fatto  fare. Buona  fortuna!

  12. Ciao Zievatron, direi  che  hai  diverse speranze.
    Probabilmente sei partito con delle aspettative che  non corrispondono a quello  che  puoi  fare, probabilmente  non guardi  dove devi guardare.

    Comunque la cosa migliore è, se  vuoi, sentirci. qui è difficile raccontare qualcosa.

    cerca Stex Auer, sono io.

    PS. Non è un  problema di  viewer.

     

     

     

  13. Ciao Robert

    Ti risponderò meglio appena torni dalle vacanze. Giusto per darti qualche info su di me, sono dal 2008 in SL, e ho avuto la fortuna di vivere il periodo pionieristico e di seconda colonizzazione della Second life italiana, un momento culturalmente e professionalmente molto intenso. Chiuso quel capitolo, mi sono allontanato per riprenderlo da poco, per proseguire questa esperienza. A proposito, ho viso l'iniziativa Made in Second life (mi ricordo che anni fa esisteva un gruppo in Linkedin con lo stesso nome) e l'idea di fare un progetto cybergeografico potrebbe essere un buono spunto per partecipare. E il volo potrebbe essere uno spunto interessante  (una specie di Phileas Fogg Project...) da presentare... 

  14. Intanto ringrazio per la disponibilità.

    Sicuramente  vengo per fare una prima esperienza di  volo, devo dire che  simulare il volo in SL, ma  tutta la mobilità la trovo  molto  stimolante. E' vero, basta un  click per un teletrasporto. Ma  questo  è andare da  A a B nel modo  più veloce, ma  non è detto sia il migliore. Come ti ho detto sono un camminatore, ma  volare  mi  interessa soprattutto per il punto di  vista che  si  può avere di  un  territorio. Diciamo  che  il  mio  interesse  è la  ripresa aerea dei  territori che  attraverso. Ora prima di arrivare a pianificare una "missione di  volo geografica" credo sarà utile per me  vivere una esperienza da passeggero. Poi  chissà, potremo vedere cosa è possibile o meno  fare: si  può tecnicamente  volare ovunque? si  può passare di sim  in  sim anche attraversando  vasti  bracci di  mare o ci sono  aerovie  ben definite? Domande che  non necessariamente devono avere una risposta in breve. 

    Anch'io sarò via per tre settimane, per cui non sarò di fronte al mio monitor per un  po'. Certo  mi  porto  un tablet con Lumya,  che  non  è il massimo  per un  incontro  inworld. Però se  mi date l'amicizia, si  può fare due  chiacchere in IM. che ne pensate?

  15. Ciao Robert, non conoscevo  questo  gruppo, interessante. non sono  direttamente un appassionato di  volo, ma  mi  interessa per  il mio progetto di creare un Atlante di Mainland. Ora la sto attraversando  a piedi, rigorosamente, seguendo  le varie  route, ma mi  piacerebbe  vedere le varie rotte aeree, e tutto quello che è trasporto Inworld. Parteciperei volentieri a  un volo. E' possibile?

  16. Ciao Barderino

    Che  io sappia,  non ci  sono guide  in italiano aggiornate. Tra  l'altro  l'unica  uscita  è stata  pubblicata nel 2008 dal Corriere della Sera, una  traduzione del manuale  inglese credo  di O'Really.

    Oggi  puoi fare affidamento  sui tutoriual  in YouTube,  o dai tanti  blogger che  pubblicano fondamentalmente su temi  di  moda, viaggi, arredamento e fotografia.  Sarebbe bello avere una  guida anche solo dei reference, ma non c'è… 

    Se  vuoi  posso  indirizzarti verso  qualcuno che conosco. Sicuramente Inworld ci sono diversi  modi di  fare un  business con la  produzione di  oggetti. Una cosa che  si  usa fare molto  oggi è creare parcel completamente allestite e affittarle. Comunque per avere una idea complessiva, vai  a  vedere il marketplace online,  c'è di  tutto. poi da li, ti  teletrasporti nei vari shop. Puoi anche seguire il calendario degli eventi di shopping, sempre per avere una idea e incontrare gente che  ti  può aiutare.

    Fammi sapere!    

  17. Sto lavorando all'atlante dei  principali continenti di Second Life. L'idea è quella di iniziare a esplorare camminando lungo le principali strade dei continenti centrali. Cerco esploratori  che  condividano con  me  il progetto con  report, fotografie, resoconti e condivisione alla creazione di  un atlante ragionato su  tutte le terre emerse.
