Second Life

I have recently either been deep in development mode on a new project or taking short breaks living a second life. My second life is in the game/environment of Second Life. This is essentially a massive online world where you can meet and interact with other people… or their avatars at least and explore an entire world of homes, shops and arcades. One of the most amazing things about the game is that you have a complete arsenal of tools to customise the environment, inside the environment. There are 3d modelling tools and even a scripting language which is loosely based on Java and C. The possibilities seem endless and both Gringod and myself are keen to learn and push some boundaries. We have come to an arrangement whereby I will learn as much as possible about the building and design tools and he will push the limits of the scripting engine. If all goes to plan after the trial period, we will get some land and build our dream home. I will make some nice structures, he will come in and program the ‘entertainment system’! It will be the cutting edge batchelor pad we have always discussed except we will be able to fly around! To see Gringods experiences to date, have a look at his second life posts.
