  • The Second Life Updater is the bane of my life

    second life

     

    This has become the bane of my life. Every 3-4 days…same thing, about 20mb+, I’m on 2mb Cable but I’ve still got to wait, I’ve noticed some days it’s a matter of 5 minutes, over days its 50 minutes, either way, does Linden Labs really need to update SL so often???!!!!

  • Robert Scoble is a hypocrite

    I’ve been recently updating my Bloglines subs, purging some feeds, adding some new ones, and I decided today to resubscribe to Robert Scoble’s blog…I’d refused to in the past when he moved across to WordPress because as far as I was concerned he was damn lazy in not doing a modrewrite of his old feed…not a nice way to treat people…but I digress, because the man who once said that he would refuse to read part feeds is offering…A PART FEED!

    Check out this shot:

    Yep, another case of do as I say, not as I do.

    Shame Robert, Shame.

  • Second Life Business Mag launches

    3pointD.com reports the launch of SL Business Magazine (pdf). It’s not the first publication I’ve seen of this sort on Second Life, but it’s certainly got to be one of the best ones in terms of layout and reading…a must for Second Life fans.

  • Rabbincal Council: no innocents

    Something very, very wrong with this, but I’ll leave it at that, don’t want to be accused of being anti-semetic…

    From ynetnews.com:

    The Yesha Rabbinical Council announced in response to an IDF attack in Kfar Qanna that “according to Jewish law, during a time of battle and war, there is no such term as ‘innocents’ of the enemy.”

    All of the discussions on Christian morality are weakening the spirit of the army and the nation and are costing us in the blood of our soldiers and civilians,” the statement said. (Efrat Weiss)

    hmmm….bomb the sh*t out of innocent people and that’s ok…sounds a lot like Islam doesn’t it?

  • Google: do as I say, not as I do

    Remember the rants from Google recently about Microsoft building in MSN search into IE7…how it was anti-competitive and all that? well looks like a case of do as I say, not as I do for Google, with ZDNet reporting that the newest release of the Google toolbar blocks attempts by the competition to modify the default search engine in IE….do no evil my you know what….

  • Western Australia hits the Web 2.0 news stage: introducing PerthNorg

    Great news from the Western side of Australia: PerthNorg from Bronwen Clune, who I had the privilege of meeting a couple of months back at a Perth blog meetup.

    Question though is how to describe the site. It’s sort of Digg meets Newsvine..but in a one newspaper state I can only hope to god it takes off.

  • Namecheap Coupons

    Does anyone out there have a current coupon for namecheap? Looks like the old favourites have expired.
