Pay Some Attention To That Man Behind The Curtain

The battle of the viewers seems to be hotting up, with Oz Linden set in the role of Sauron according to some, but recent comments from Oz have been bang on the money. Tateru Nino reports that Oz said if third party viewers don’t keep up, things will break. This is a perfectly sensible comment and one developers of third party viewers should welcome. There are also quotes of Oz saying that Linden Lab will look into what motivates people to stay with a viewer 1.x experince, again, this is perfectly sensible step, I’m not sure why Oz is getting such a walloping over this.

The back of my thighs are killing me, I had to do some weeding yesterday, this has nothing to do with Oz! This getting old malarkey is no fun, your recovery time nosedives. However getting back to viewers, I think what frustrates people about Oz’s comment on the viewer 1 issue is, it has been going on since viewer 2 went open beta!

Pie And Power

I went and took a look at Philip Rosedale’s new venture today, Coffee and Power, and was struck by how good a concept this is. Basically people ask for things to be done, offer some sort of fee for the mission and then await responses. Unfortunately it’s only available right now in San Francisco, where the website tells us all great ideas start but I can recall watching Karl Malden going around the streets of San Francisco as a kid and it didn’t seem like a great idea then!

The thing I like about this site though is that it looks fun, although a lot of the requests are “Bring me a sarnie” at the moment, it has potential. However I’m wondering why this isn’t being implemented in Second Life!
