The decline and fall of the Emerald viewer

By: Tateru Nino

2 September, 2010

At some point in the past, Linden Lab apparently entered into some sort of partnership with the Emerald team. By partnership, I mean it in the business sense: An special arrangement between two organisations that presumably benefits both.

The somewhat ironic result here, is that if Linden Lab had not made this special deal with Emerald, it is likely that Emerald would still be around today.

A matter of orientation

By: Tateru Nino

1 September, 2010

Fred Nile, Christian Democrat MP, apparently has more porn passing through his official PC than that of any other sitting member.

Current reports are silent on how this might compare to members that are more upright.

Jessica Lyons: “the Emerald Viewer Project is dead”

By: Tateru Nino

1 September, 2010

Lyons (whom I believe was the QA person for the Emerald viewer team) has resigned, and also revealed the final two requirements that the Emerald viewer must meet by Friday this week. Lyons declares the viewer to be functionally dead.

Weekly Linden account changes (week 35, 2010)

By: Tateru Nino

1 September, 2010

A surprise this week! Howard Look’s Linden account is absent from the database. I’ve checked several times over the last few hours in case there was a glitch with Linden Lab’s systems, as there was with Jeremy last week, but it does seem to be persistently gone.

Howard Look is… or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say was, Linden Lab’s Senior Vice President of Consumer Applications.

The end of Acclaim?

By: Tateru Nino

27 August, 2010

Acclaim Enertainment was a notable video-game publisher from 1987 to 2004. After a history of lawsuits, talk of shady dealings and piracy, and criticism for tasteless and offensive advertising campaigns, Acclaim Entertainment finally was faced with falling sales, and mounting debts.

Weekly Linden account changes (week 34, 2010)

By: Tateru Nino

26 August, 2010

No more Pony.

Missing from the Linden accounts list this week:

Boston Linden [Blondin says: "Boston is an account that we set up for mixed media meetings and events"]
Jeremy Linden [Jeremy just reappeared in the system. Might be getting some flaky response from the grid databases today]
Kaylee Linden
Pony Linden

Anyone remember Pony Linden? Pony Linden was a bot (in the sim of Morris) who was scripted to be able to be ridden by Second Life users. Pony largely vanished from the main grid during 2006. When Ben Linden departed announced his departure in a YouTube video in 2007, he was accompanied by Pony Linden.

Pony Linden briefly reappeared on the beta grid during a software test in April 2009.

There are 329 330 Linden accounts in the system today.

Trivia note: I’ve failed the Turing test more times than Pony Linden.
