The Digital Short (Movie) & Final Analysis

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Is now, as part one of final step, linked in the menu bar at the top of this page... well under the logo... so "close to the top." You can also access it via this link if you want to. And part two of the final step is this thesis_analysis (in pdf ...

It’s almost here…

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Well, actually it IS here... which means it's there, in Second Life, and ready to be viewed. I've had a few friends run around and test things. Thanks go out to all of the for finding little things that I could fix! And I've compiled the Digital short, which is exporting ...

T minus spell-check, and counting…

I do believe I'm down to the last few things... I've stopped indulging my "this is good, but this would be better" impulses. Mostly because I really feel like it's just about perfect at this point. Well except for the name... I still have to come up with a name ...

One Last Pang…

I love it when this happens. My one question is... if they were "expected difficulties" would that mean I could upload? Oh well, I publish it more as a record that SL is far from an ideal platform to produce things, but still it's the more flexible of those I've tried ...

“But what about your original idea”

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Those words, or others similar to them, were said to me in the past few days when one of my "test subjects" (AKA Kate) was looking at one of the things I had built. I had described my original idea a while back, and she remembered it... and (thankfully) was ...

‘Show’ Media

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Ug. Ug. Did I say ug? Playing media in SL, generally speaking isn't that difficult. A little snip of code, a url or two, and presto, you're good to do. But... that's not what I had planned to use for all my signage. I had planned to use HTML on a ...
