Round And Round The Garden

I was handed a bloggers pack for The Garden, I beg your pardon, thought I, but thought I’d take a look anyway. The Garden is an interactive puzzle game brought to Second Life by Grace McDunnough, Trav Rexen and Salome Strangelove.

The basic aim of the game is to collect clues from Guardians and Artifacts and work out what sins they were guilty of and what penance they served for it. This sounds more complicated written down than it actually is, you get a Hud with which you can elimiate certain guardians from sins and penance until you’re left with the only suitable answers, well as long as you’ve paid attention to the clues that is!

This Jira Message Is Wrong!

This the message one sees when they try and look at someone else’s bug report in the new and improved Jira. There is of course temptation to contact the Jira administrators that this message is wrong, and surely they know it’s wrong, it’s certainly wrong headed, but as it’s an intended consequence of Jira 2 – Electric Boogaloo, complaints are likely to fall on deaf ears.

There’s a thread over on the official forum, entitled : New Jira System Worhless. The new Jira system is not worthless, it’s a big backward step for end users who were used to the old Jira system, worthless is too strong, it’s just a bit rubbish for those who knew how to search the Jira and look for results. Howevere there are many valid points within that thread.

Third Second Life Science Fiction Faire Is Open

I’m not big on the Science Fiction scene in Second Life, indeed most of what I read is to do with copyright issues, such as Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek. However there is a thriving roleplaying scene for Science Fiction in Second Life and to exemplify this, we have the third Science Fiction Faire, which is open now. Like some of the other and arguably better known faires in Second Life, the Science Fiction faire is also a charity event, associated with the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life.The region being used for the faire actually neighbours the ACS main Island.

Scripting Resources Are A Job Pretty Well Done

I haven’t been that interested in the US election, not being an American or having the right to vote in the election helps a bit there. The world economies being in a mess no matter who wins, helps there too but I did want Barack Obama to win largely because it’s a slap in the face for The Wonga party in government in the UK who would have seized upon a Mitt Romney win to justify their heinous mess of a job they’re doing in Government. However it’s not like Labour offer anything much better, just a little bit in the right direction but we’re not exactly spoilt for choice.

However, when Linden Lab are feeling down about the views people post to their employees, which is allegedly part of the reasoning behind the mistaken policy of hiding Jira’s, they should be grateful that they don’t have Donald Trump as a disgruntled customer because his twitter meltdown was truly spectacular, I mean really really spectacular. That’s some funny stuff.

However, let’s move on to an area where Linden Lab are very good, scripting resources. This doesn’t mean scripting in Second Life is easy, but let’s give credit to the amount of resources available.
