Luis is a social apps evangelist and gets less than seven e-mails a day. E-Mail is a bad tool for collaboration. The key is: the people behind the content. The more email you reply to the more e-mail you et back. "I moved away my conversations away from my e-mail." Exceptions are: sensitive and private conversations 1:1. Concept: BTE^2: "behind the eyes and between the ears." There is tacit, contextual (where do we work together) and explicit knowledge. It's all about peple and

Leakage of credit card and bank account details on the internet has been a regular scenario, but the latest entrant in this virtual world of identity frauds involves hackers tapping into voice-over IP telephony accounts.

I know I’ve got a couple of readers who are active in Second Life and my Second Life surveys seem to go down quite well, and I can’t find much on this elsewhere, so here’s a quick report on Panasonic’s Maze opening up in Second Life. Apparently, just search the Second Life world map for Panasonic (or just click here) so you can teleport to their maze. There you’ll find an Olympic stadium (let’s all dress up as Tibetans and picket it…), an eco zone, a Viera living room zone where you can experi

Post written by Mr. Rudolpho Woodget Did you miss your Prom? Or did you go with the wrong person? This Saturday, you can right that wrong at The Peacock Prom, to be offered at The Bashful Peacock, Caledon Wellsian, on Saturday, May 17. For the convenience of our global community, the prom will be held twice: from 10 am to 1 pm and again from 7 pm to 10 pm (all times SLT). The lawn will be ornamented in keeping with the theme of "May Flowers," selected by Prom Chair, Mr. Jayleden Miles. Guests

 Are Microsoft and Google in a space race? We think they are. Their rivalry is also, we believe, a precursor to the next great post-Internet technology boom: space exploration and development… … Microsoft just released its new Worldwide Telescope, which will access images from NASA’s great fleet of space-born telescopes and earth-bound observatories such as the future Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, partially funded by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, which is projected for ‘first light’ in 201

(picture by No Pip No!) Reports of the death of qualitative research have been greatly exaggerated. I returned from the 4th annual AQR/QRCA conference in Barcelona with the feeling that there is life both within and beyond the focus group. What started as an idea over crab cakes lunch in Grand Central Station nine years ago has become a regular collaboration between AQR and QRCA - qualitative research trade associations based in UK and US respectively. That restaurant has now gone, Pat S

The Mono regions on the beta grid were updated with a new version on Wednesday that resolves the following issues:

* SVC-2192 Fixed nested list in list initialisation.
* SVC-2309 Fixed a regression with nested lists in LSL.
* SVC-809 Fixed an old LSL bug with nested list initialization.
* SVC-1393 Rezzing scripts now uses a more efficient method of verification
* SVC-1522 llBase64ToString() Improved. Now 6x faster than LSL instead of 100x slower.
* SVC-2247 Changed the error message when trying to upload a no mod script to be more meaningful.
* SVC-2280 Fixed signature of llMakeFountain() deprecated function.
* SVC-2182 Fixed an exception for some functions returning keys.
* VWR-6643 Fixed recompile scripts in selection for group owned (deeded) scripts.
* SVC-1499 Added the unused print keyword to Mono.

We’re now getting really close to deploying Mono across Agni, so if you haven’t already tested your scripts on Mono, please log in to the beta grid, recompile your scripted objects to run on Mono and if you have any problems file a JIRA report here or tell us at the Mono office hours held in Sandbox Goguen MONO on the beta grid on Wednesdays at 8AM and Fridays at 3PM. Please also let us know about your Mono successes - here’s a video of Amanda Levitsky’s maze generator running on the LSL virtual machine on the left and over 4 times faster on the Mono virtual machine on the right:

Thanks again for your continued support throughout the Mono beta process.

After almost two years of blogging, I have come to love doing this - working on my blog, redesigning, tinkering with the widgets, sharing my family’s latest meal with the whole world . I’ve also come to love doing the blog rounds - visiting friends I’ve made in this virtual reality. And now, after over a year, I’ve finally plunged into taking this blog’s monetization seriously. (Desperate times=desperate measures. ) I’ve signed up with Bloggerwave. It’s Europe’s leading blog advertising medi

In real life you can make some changes to your skin and your shape. With buckets of money and time you can improve your skin with facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser treatments, photorejuvenation, acne therapy, skin tightening, botox injections and so on. For your body you can have liposuction, your breasts increased or decreased, a nose job, tummy tucks, all kinds of lifts like face and eyes and even increase your height with some judicious silicone implants. If you are willing

The Internet is a newer platform characterised by a large, open, public network where people interact with people from throughout the world without any barriers like geography, culture, age, social class or gender. It is unlike real word where people with their own identities come together face to face. Online, users are a little less perceptive about their identities. Having an identity is not a new concept. Every one is having at least one since the dawn of the civilization; ascribed identity

Training is a large cost in any corporation. Enormous amounts of training need to be done in any company, particularly large ones. The costs associated with training are not only financial-they are the time devoted to training, and perhaps equally important, the time and money wasted if a company doesn't properly train its employees. Training needs to be done to orient new employees to the corporation itself-things such as teaching about corporate procedures, where to find information, how to

One of the little-recognized horrors from the Vietnam War was the amount of soldiers coming back from duty, only to be unable to reintegrate properly back into society, often leading to drug use and homelessness (at least, this is the stereotype I’ve grown up with - it may or may not be true). As a child, there were always rumors of someone-or-other’s father or uncle or who was a vet and would jump at loud noises and always checked their surroundings for ambushes. Of course, we also believed

As mentioned in the introduction entry, every one-man hobby open source project has three main parts - development, maintenance and promotion. Today, i’m going to talk about where it all starts, and, if you’re not careful enough, where it all ends. It all starts, of course, with the development. You take an idea and you put it to a virtual life. This is perhaps, the most enjoyable part of a new project, at least for some of us. This is the time where everything seems possible, where there are

'Molotov' launches the virtual reality show

I don't know if I should be comforted or not that I'm pretty much as bad a cyber-athlete as a real athlete. (Nobody beats me as an aesthete, but that's an entirely different story, the one the other 99.99% of this blog's entries are about.) So it should come as no surprise that the joy for most people that is Mario Kart Wii (and even more sorts of joy for some than others, evidently) is somewhat lost on me, as driving into many differently designed 2-D abysses is abysmal. If you know the game, a
