New Sim In World At SecondLife  Reply with quote  

The big news is audiocourses now has a whole sim dedicated to our educational activitites in the 3D virtual world known as Second Life. This equates to 16acres of real world space, or an area which is 256m x 256m, that's about two and a half football pitches in width and length.

Please do come along and find us in-world and see what we are up to and have planned. I am in the process of building a very large multi-purpose building which will see us utilise some very interesting learning environments and technologies.

Some "key" themes will be live streaming music performances, this could easily be YOU being streamed from your location to an online audience in-world. I plan on having all the resources available to make this happen for you, including a streaming server @ 128kbs for around 100-200 listeners.

I have also started a blog just for my avatar activities which can be found here:

Nice  Reply with quote  

I finally tried it out yesterday, quite cool - reminds me of those days when I used to spend hours playing 'The Sims'. It got a bit frustrating after a while since I had to wait looooong for the map to load and wait a second or two to move Smile

I dropped into AC, I liked the design Chris - pretty neat Smile

Thanks a lot!

Seems to be going well, I'm happy the sim is very low lag, we kept the crap down to a minimum so the meetings/chats/perfomance are smoother for us all.

I've just set up a weekly session on sundays also for audio chat and hanging out, all welcome of course, you can join our group in there.

And there is a google calandar for schedules:

With the rss feed here:
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/q9p5397uoc464cppf5u7lp2j2c%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic

We'll also have a wiki up soon for the activities.

Great to hear a few more of you are signing up.

However you're bound to experience a few problems (especially on your beast of a computer varun Wink ) as secondlife is expanding so rapidly that the servers are struggling to cope. and things start to get "laggy", i.e. delayed and jittery.

ive noticed the average number of online users at any one time has doubled in the two months that ive been a SecondLifer.
