About Me
Just your average avatar, exploring this amazing virtual world since I first rezzed on 27 March 2006. This thing still has my attention, though I can't remember now how I first discovered Second Life. Probably an article in a tech magazine or website.
Computer
iMac Core Duo (Early 2006), Mac OS X 10.4.9. Pretty much stock except for 1.5GB RAM, DSL and other goodies. Try to not to boot the Mac into Windows unless I have to, because that's just so very wrong. Hoping to get a MacBookPro so I can get my JIRA fix while travelling for RL work. And then, after hitting the lottery, an eight-core Mac Pro.
Projects
- Learning to use LSL to communicate with a web server and integrating web and in-world services, as part of a project for the Gay Life group.
- Spending lots of time in the JIRA Issue tracker, mostly commenting, reproducing bugs, and hunting duplicate issues.
- Trying (so far with questionable results) to be a wikimonkey.
- Learning about the XUI and other parts of viewer architecture. Right now, learning to replace the oh-so-1995 stock UI icons (and wondering about the "right" way to do it), and trying to figure out how to skin the viewer. Would like to discover a way to de-couple the user interface so that UI menus can move up to the Mac menu bar and allow windows to be moved out of the SL window and onto a second monitor. (This is the holy grail, IMO, for Mac users.) Of course, it would have to be done in a portable, cross-platform way with minimal Mac-specific code. Yeah, I know, "good luck with that."
- Writing about SL and other stuff on my blog.
- Wondering why this article from Wired is so true.
