Great showing for 'Just so that you know' launch

A big thanks to the twenty odd people who turned up last night to listen to the first part of 'Just so that you know'. For those of you who missed the launch event but wanted to come, here is a video of the entire reading, courtesy of SL machinimist Geo Meek!

Coming in one week: Just So That You Know

Just so that you know, the sequel to Be right back, will launch at Milk Wood next Thursday, 26 March at 3pm SLT. What happens to Spencer on the platform in Le Havre? Who is Tsyin Tii and what happened to Sarah Cassidy? The truth - I promise you - is more terrible than you could imagine...

I will be reading an abridged version of the novel over the coming weeks at Milk Wood on Thursday evenings, so if you would like to hear the tale unfold, present yourself at 3pm sharp next Thursday for the first installment, and you'll be able to download to take away with you a shiny new PDF of the entire novel by the end of the session.

Adult content to be moved to new continent in SL

Perhaps it's their attempt to do something about that 'snigger' element there is assigned to SL when it comes up in casual RL conversation ("Second Life? Isn't that where people, well, you know...?"). How Linden must hate the sniggering. So adult content (read 'sex clubs') is to be moved to a seperate continent. Already dubbed 'The Ghetto,' the proposed continent has - hardly a surprise - the stalwarts out in their fury (current number of replies to just the continent forum thread - there are other proposals too - is over 900). No, it won't mean you have to get rid of that refrigerator with the naughty poseballs you keep in your skybox; as far as Linden is concerned, this is all about visibility and therefore public acceptibility. Personally, I hate the sniggering too, but perhaps the problem lies with what makes people snigger, rather than the thing they think they're sniggering at.

New look blog

So I discovered third party Blogspot templates. Much messing about later, and here you have the final result, save for a few tweaks needed here and there (like why the comment boxes display in Spanish...). Hope you like it!
