I just returned from school, where I had reasonable time in class with Vince and THE GAME. THE GAME groused about things as usual but then knuckled down and did what I'd asked. I enjoyed watching him as he has become pretty damn adept at experimenting with the codes, etc.
I gave them an assignment for tomorrow: build a farm. Our Wa He Lut virtual world needs a dairy farm for fecal coliform. Yesterday I had downloaded the Activeworlds general world so I could visit the object yards. I wrote down the codes of things we might need. Leslie had told me that the object yards existed - I'm not sure we are supposed to be able to use some of these things. I was amused at how urban most things were, and that "nature" turned out to be tents, marshmallows on sticks, and sleeping bags. The "west" theme was old-fashioned wild west as in 1870 Tombstone. Let's see... some other themes were toons, Atlantic, sci-fi, Egypt, contemporary, business.
Yesterday I ran into Pirate in Navora, in Second Life. He lives in NZ but was in the states at the GDC in San Francisco. He told me he was - at that moment - at Linden Lab. w00t! I told him I was impressed... he said, "At what?" I said, "You!" Another instance of me making very little sense. Anyway, I was happy if he was happy.
This morning PT, who lives in Chi-town, IMed me - I was fiddling about ten minutes before leaving for work (bad me). PT said he was playing from the GDC and had had dinner with the Lindens the night before. wtg! I asked if they were as he'd expected and he replied that they were better. "Real people" I think was how he put it. I was thinking, "mmmm delicious with custard," but just said, "Yummy!" I'm not sure I've ever typed that word before. Anyway, he was thrilled. I was thrilled to know two men at the GDC - and better them than me - I'd hate to have to go. I don't want to meet anybody in real life - Lindens or anyone else. Im sure I'm not the only one in SL who feels that way but the vocal group are those who hold the opposite viewpoint.
