Rosedale admits SL code is slop… reiterates
Georgina Prodhan of Reuters, Frankfurt interviews uncle Phil. It’s a good interview, short but sweet without much said that isn’t already known, other than he admits they didn’t foresee the rise in laptop popularity (less capable in CPU power and graphics abilities.)
“Rosedale said a new generation of computers with more powerful graphics capacities would help stimulate wider interest in Second Life, where avatar models representing users fly or teleport around and can buy and sell land in Linden dollars.”
[Emphasis above is mine]
The interview is about Rosedale’s belief that Second Life will become ‘mainstream’. The problem isn’t only the interface, it’s so many other things. Such as the horrible abysmal introduction new users experience when they first enter the SL world. he basically admit (again) in this quote how sloppy Linden lab’s code is. but, at least he admits it.
Obedient bots never get a break…
Garth Goode posted on his blog SLWTF (I love this bog!) that he found an unusually well hidden group of bots hovering about 750 meters over Echo Island. reading his description, they apparently are surrounded by a skybox that has invisibility scripts (making it appear invisible from the outside.) – However, the genius land owner who created the set-up also put a security system in place – which is the very thing that will let seekers know exactly where they are. (And security systems are actually pretty easy to overcome.)
How ironic this is.
Geniuses Darwin forgot, anyone?
Go take a peek. Then subscribe to SLWTF – awesome blog where each article Garth posts is a quick read with a lot of work-friendly pictures (usually anyway). 
“This group was especially well hidden. As I increased altitude to find the skybox, I was suddenly ejected from the region by a security system. That’s the first time I’ve seen someone take hiding their bots so seriously.”
