Gal Canning: /* Got the invitation to become a mentor */

== Volunteer ... not me! ==

Last Saturday I attended an obligatory information session.
I was early on the SL Volunteer HI and was witness of a session I didn't subscribe to.

What struck me was that a hugh number of mentor-to-be where present.
And some profane language was used.
At that time I wondered how a class like this could improve the quality of a volunteer to promote to mentor.

So I asked my "mentor". He told me it wasn't his class and that he did not have the time to talk to me at that moment because he was watching "Eagle one".
In the mean time he appeared to be present in the class I was watching on the SL volunteer HI sandbox?

When I attended the class I did sign up for, I was told after 30 minutes the class wouldn't start for another hour. Start time was changed ? and not communicated.

At that moment I decided that I'm no volunteer anymore.
I don't have the urge to become a SL approved mentor.

I like to help everybody, I offer my friendship and my skills to everybody who need a friend and/or help. I'm a true mentor by hart, not because SL says so.

== Got the invitation to become a mentor ==
Shouldn't I be glad. Today I got my invitation to become a volunteer and to finally reach the status of mentor.

On more hurdle, attending one of the volunteer classes, and I can assist everybody to full extend.

In the last 3 months I set up my own island, called Avatarum.
Together with my partner Art Canning and Indira Bekkers we managed to deliver a complete entertainmant package: games, art and clothing.
We have a daily traffic of 60 avatars as I type in this contribution to my talk.

I hope this will give you confidence in my capabilities as a mentor.
Not only technically but also commercially.

In SL I'm Gal Canning. In RL as well as in SL I'm a man of about 48 years old.
I'm a technician, a teacher, a manager and can be characterized as a fixer.

Sharing knowledge and interact with people, that is what makes a human being a better person. So here I am, ready to share and interact.

Although I'm rather fresh in Second Life (march 2007) I already could translate my RL designing and programming experience to SL en LSL.

(a proof of the pudding...look at Virtual Holland)

You can always send me an IM if you have a SL related problem or want to share something.

The term 'Pay-behavior' is ambiguous, in all my years of scripting I've never heard the term (and it's not for a lack of experience with the feature in question). I tried to explain it in such a way that was both within the editing guidelines (3rd person) and didn't introduce a term that isn't used or defined anywhere on the wiki. Or were you recommending something else altogether? -- [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 22:07, 5 August 2007 (PDT)

One of the most amazing things I get to work... 3 Tier architecture.
Interface in SL, business logic as PHP on my server and storage in MYSQL.
I implemented my games this way. Stateless... you can continue whenever you want.

Want to see it... come and visit Avatarum. (Avatarum (131,121,55))

Gal Canning:

Hello Soft,

I did contribute something to the discussion section of main page.<br/>
About making the client/viewer a little less massive. Modular if you like.<br/>
Your reaction was to remove the content. And I really don't understand how this helps Linden!?<br/>
First of all I'm a SL user that is kind enough to share his thoughts with the makers of SL. Not to get better myself but just to help Linden.<br/>
And then...just removing stuff from a wiki just because it is in the wrong place is not nice. Reward the effort and redirect the content to the place in the wiki where it is more appropriate.<br/>
And if the idea is completely ludicrous, send an email to your "customer" to explain why it is not such a good idea....<br/>
Could we exchange some ideas through email? michel@artagainstwater.nl<br/>

== What is this wiki for ? ==

What is this wiki for? Is it a general purpose wiki, where information like the old support wiki had? Would it be appropriate for someone to start a page on Groups, and Land, and Animations, etc.? A page similar to the LSL wiki for the main page would be logical, providing a list of topics, categories, etc. to guide people in the right path. A search box doesn't help if you don't know the right term to search for. Was this wiki's creation announced? If this is a general help wiki, might it make sense to put the F1 help in here to be used and worked on? If this is supposed to be a general help reference shouldn't it be listed on the support page: http://secondlife.com/community/support.php and have a separate item in the dropdown box to make it a simple as humanly possible for people to find this?

== SL client to massive ==
I wonder whether the limited success of SL is caused by the fact that the client is too massive.<br/>
Several friends of mine have only limited computers and limited network capabilities and therefore drop out of SL after the first experience. It is considered slow and unusable. ?So why would they stay?<br/>
Not only the download of 32Mb can be a hamper to set SL up on one's computer.<br/>
All the developertools available in the client might be blocking too. It all consumes computer power<br/>
Not everybody is interested in landshaping tools, or building activities or continuously dressing up.
So I suggest to make several parts of the client optional/switchable (on/off) after the kernel is loaded.
This potentially reduces the size of the kernel with 40 to 50%. And usage of computer power will decrease with about 20%.<br/>

Is this an idea or am I to simple in my thoughts?--[[User:Gal Canning|Gal Canning]] 00:12, 5 August 2007 (PDT)

==About Me ==
I'm an immigrant from URU. Was in all 3 of it's beta's.

Wiki Gnome (causing drama isn't why I'm here).

I have a webpage but haven't updated it in a few months...

Wiki's are the way of the future when it comes to making documentation Ad-hoc but eventually become static as graffiti grows with popularity as a way of controlling it.

also contribute to some other wiki's
[http://history.secondserver.net/index.php/Main_Page History Wiki]
[http://www.AviSynth.org/BlindWanderer AviSynth:BlindWanderer]

When it comes to writing I tend to go towards concise. A short accurate description is better then a long equally accurate description; less to get confused with, easier to find the important information (because it is ''all'' important).

Strife...
I don't know what you're doing..but I was really helped by the comment Indira Bekkers gave me.
I had to turn on the Pay-behavior..
Your description might be useful to you..but it doesn't say a thing to me.
So I'm going to put back my description ..without the name of course..

==About Me ==
I'm an immigrant from URU. Was in all 3 of it's beta's.

Wiki Gnome (causing drama isn't why I'm here).

I have a webpage but haven't updated it in a few months...

Wiki's are the way of the future when it comes to making documentation Ad-hoc but eventually become static as graffiti grows with popularity as a way of controlling it.

also contribute to some other wiki's
[http://history.secondserver.net/index.php/Main_Page History Wiki]
[http://www.AviSynth.org/BlindWanderer AviSynth:BlindWanderer]

When it comes to writing I tend to go towards concise. A short accurate description is better then a long equally accurate description; less to get confused with, easier to find the important information (because it is ''all'' important).

In SL I'm Gal Canning. In RL as well as in SL I'm a man of about 48 years old.
I'm a technician, a teacher, a manager and can be characterized as a fixer.

Sharing knowledge and interact with people, that is what makes a human being a better person. So here I am, ready to share and interact.

Although I'm rather fresh in Second Life (march 2007) I already could translate my RL designing and programming experience to SL en LSL.

(a proof of the pudding...look at Our Virtual Holland5)

You can always send me an IM if you have a SL related problem or want to share something.

Sharing knowledge and interact with people, that is what makes a human being a better person. So here I am, ready to share and interact.
Although I'm rather fresh in Second Life (march 2007) I already could translate my RL designing and programming experience to SL en LSL.

==Script protocols and known chat channels==

<div id="box">
<div style="padding: 0.5em 0.5em 1.5em">
Some times, scripts in Second Life send messages to one another to exchange information or coordinate behavior. The rules for that conversation are a ''protocol''. Being able to say "/1show" or "/1hug lee" are examples.

Such protocols use a common [[chat channel]]. The examples above use channel 1. They could just as easily have used any other number, but a user (and other objects) have to have some way to find the correct number.

Some protocols, such as combat systems, are quite complicated and could be better documented. This page can be used to help prevent conflicts and allow multiple programmers to coordinate the protocol definitions.

== Protocol list ==
<div style="padding: 0.5em">
Add a protocol here if it is widely used, or might be sometime in the future.

A protocol in this list should also have its own pages where the protocol is defined in some detail.
