was released yesterday 18-March-2012. The Answer Board is a Pandorabot
based rotating sign that provides answers to just about any question or
topic one can think of. The board responds to local chat and provides
its answers from, first, Wikipedia if it finds a matching article then <a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com/">Wolfram Alpha</a> if no Wikipedia article is found then AI chat from <a href="http://pandorabots.com/">pandorabots.com</a> if no Wolfram Alpha answer is found.<br />
<br />
The
Answer Board is preconfigured and requires no setup other than rezzing,
positioning, and resizing if desired. It uses a shared Wolfram Alpha
Application ID which gives the board access to Wolfram Alpha but on a
shared basis with a limit of 2000 queries per month. Therefore, it is
recommended that the owner of an Answer Board register for their own
Wolfram Alpha Application ID at <a href="http://products.wolframalpha.com/api/">http://products.wolframalpha.com/api/</a><br />
<br />
Although ready to use out-of-the-box, the Answer Board can be extensively customized. A detailed <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/85710211/Answer-Board-Owner-Manual">Owners Manual</a> is provided and available in PDF, Office, and OpenOffice formats. Non-owner users who touch the Answer Board receive a <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/85710094/Answer-Board-User-Guide">User Guide</a> which is also available in PDF, Office, and OpenOffice formats.<br />
<br />
The
Answer Board can provide information on just about any topic due to the
wealth of information available via the combined resources of Wikipedia
and Wolfram Alpha. Based on the recently released Pandorabot V7
technology, the Answer Board can automatically detect the user's
language and query that language Wikipedia. Language detection is
provided for <span class="a" style="left: 418px; top: 1098px; word-spacing: 1px;">Nihongo, Russkiy,</span><span class="a" style="left: 418px; top: 1182px; word-spacing: 2px;"> Nederlands, Português, Polski, Italiano, Español, Français, Deutsch or English. </span>It is the smartest scripted agent in Second Life.<br />
<br />
In
addition, the Answer Board can be enabled as a Greeter to detect and
greet new arrivals, deliver notecards and landmarks, and emit a wide
variety of particle displays. There is an extensive command set
available to the owner and an easy to use dialog menu. The Answer Board
is available for L$395 on the Second Life Marketplace at <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Truth-Beauty-Lab-Answer-Board/3304679">https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Truth-Beauty-Lab-Answer-Board/3304679</a><br />
<br />
Here's what the Answer Board looks like:<br />

<br />
I'll be focusing more on product reviews here and highlighting some of my newly released products. The <a href="http://pandorabot.blogspot.com/">Second Life Pandorabots blog</a> will still be the primary area for info, news, and how-to's on Second Life Pandorabots.<br />
<br />
Here's a couple of new Truth & Beauty Lab images to get you going:<br />

Prior to this release many, if not most, viewers used inworld could not render mesh properly so why wear it ? You would just look all garbled and partly naked to those viewers without mesh support. But now most viewers would render mesh properly so I thought I would give it a whirl.<br />
<br />
I found a nice looking semi-sheer cropped lace tank top from<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Existence/154/128/2"> Beetlebones @ Existence</a>. I like the way mesh drapes nicely:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xt4zZa78dJI/TuebmFAHn7I/AAAAAAAABfw/Qog0wqbXg8Y/s1600/mesh+top_001_crop_6506292947_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xt4zZa78dJI/TuebmFAHn7I/AAAAAAAABfw/Qog0wqbXg8Y/s640/mesh+top_001_crop_6506292947_o.jpg" width="456" /></a></div>
Unfortunately, body parts can still poke through mesh clothing items producing the familiar wtf look:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kUz4BbHj-L8/Tuebm6MRgHI/AAAAAAAABf4/3JGsMXxvTx8/s1600/mesh+top_002_crop_6506287311_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kUz4BbHj-L8/Tuebm6MRgHI/AAAAAAAABf4/3JGsMXxvTx8/s640/mesh+top_002_crop_6506287311_o.jpg" width="456" /></a></div>
Mesh clothing cannot be resized like normal clothing or sculpted prim clothing. So, mesh clothing vendors provide several sizes to select from. This item comes in 5 sizes - XS, S, M, L, XL. I tried the XS since my shape is smallish but it was too small and my torso poked through in several places. Medium size was way too big so here I am wearing the Small. It fits fairly well but notice how the front of the top hangs a few inches out in front of my chest:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9zQoQqId1P4/Tuebn0L4mQI/AAAAAAAABgA/S4Wcx8DoHgg/s1600/mesh+top_003_crop_6506281979_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9zQoQqId1P4/Tuebn0L4mQI/AAAAAAAABgA/S4Wcx8DoHgg/s640/mesh+top_003_crop_6506281979_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Normally I would simply move the top back a bit by selecting it and editing the position. You cannot even position a mesh clothing item! So, no mesh for me. Yet. It is possible that with improvements to mesh like the <a href="http://modemworld.wordpress.com/2011/10/28/mesh-parametric-deformer-the-who-what-why-and-where/">mesh parametric deformer project</a> that mesh will someday be a significant improvement to Second Life. Maybe even as-is there are some mesh creators who design clothing for avatar shapes that do not have huge boobs. Till then, thanks but no thanks.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03780090361629877779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832856331341326887.post-91467526254430346172011-11-27T18:11:00.000-08:002011-11-27T19:27:29.482-08:00Second Life Premium Membership plus I Rant at Cynical SL BloggersGawd, I am so sick of reading all the negative blog posts on <i>everything</i> Linden Lab does. First off, I have no affiliation with Linden Lab and they don't even read what I write. I just think it is horribly misleading for established SL residents and respected bloggers to criticize every single action LL takes. They could offer free money (as they sorta do with money trees and the recent Linden Realms game) and these bloggers would call it unfair that hard working residents like themselves were being undercut by "the Boys" giving away money. In fact, the currently running 50% discount on Premium membership is very much "free money". Check this out.<br />
<br />
Linden Lab is currently offering a quarterly <a href="https://secondlife.com/">Premium membership plan</a> that includes a 50% discount on the first quarter. Signup for one quarter of Premium membership at $11.25. Assuming a $L250 per $1 US exchange rate, your one quarter of Premium membership costs approximately $L2812. Premium benefits include a $L1000 signup bonus for first time members and a $L300 per week stipend. Let's do some simple arithmetic.<br />
<br />
One quarter is 52/4 = 13 weeks<br />
13 weeks x $L300 per week = $L3900 quarterly stipend<br />
$L1000 signup bonus + $L3900 stipend = $L4900 you receive<br />
$L4900 - $L2812 cost of 1st quarter = $L2088 profit<br />
<br />
Linden Lab is paying you approximately $8.35 US to try Premium membership for a quarter! <br />
<br />
So, Linden Lab is <i>giving away money</i> and old bitter cynical Second Life bloggers are complaining. Not only do they complain about this 50% discount, they complain about the free gifts you get as a Premium member. Hahaha! Free gifts! So, I thought, these gifts must be awful if people are complaining about something that is free. I went to a kiosk and got my gifts and look! The couch is way cool:<br />

Premium membership gets you <a href="http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Premium-membership/ta-p/1054477">a lot of other benefits</a> too. I recommend the annual membership as it is cheaper in the long run. The quarterly membership 50% discount only applies to the 1st quarter so a year on that plan would cost $78.75 while the annual membership plan costs $72. Either way, it is a great deal with excellent benefits and you are supporting the continued existence and improvement of Second Life.<br />
<br />
In short, Second Life Premium membership is a no brainer.

Their Boho skirts come in a wide variety of colors and fit comfortably. They also sell tops and jewelry. Here I am wearing the Boho Fiesta Tye Dye Skirt and Belt. I matched a top from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cyratto/25/29/138">L&G</a> - the Valentina Rose, for a simple beautiful comfortable colorful look. I'm ready for the Country Fair in Second Life's Eugene, Oregon!<br />

It's also available at the same price in red. As seems to be normal for the aptly named Sintimacy, the outfit is scorching hawt! Fairly easy to select a subset of items for my outfit, my only complaint was the No Copy boots which needed fitting. Why do designers distribute items that need modification with No Copy permission ? See <a href="http://missyrestless.blogspot.com/2010/08/request-to-second-life-vendors.html">my rant on this topic</a>.<br />
<br />
However, the boots resized and repositioned easily and the dialog menu provided a "delete scripts" button so everything went smoothly. Here's my modelling session in the Rocking Lowrise Latex Outfit:<br />

Here I am modeling the Hibiscus-Green Infinity Halter and Boyshorts with their deck shoes. Cute! The deck shoes are a pain to configure - it's nice they are so detailed with 4 different color areas but each shoe must be configured separately, there are no presets, no way to store presets, and no menu option for deleting the scripts after configuring a pair. I like them anyway!<br />

This single prim object allows me to respond to IM's via Email when I am not logged in to Second Life. I find it quite useful and a great aid in allowing me to assist my customers. I use it almost daily.<br />
<br />
Email2IM requires that the single prim object be rezzed somewhere with scripts enabled. I decided to make it something I would want to have in my home in Second Life so I added some texturing and a variety of geometrical deformations to the script. The Email2IM prim became a kinetic art object that is pleasing to watch and changes continually. Voila, art meets practical!<br />
<br />
Here is a video of the Email2IM prim hovering over my house:<br />

Called "Auto Emote", the HUD consumes a modest amount of screen real estate and provides a fairly extensive set of facial animation and programmable trigger phrases. When not in active use the HUD can be minimized to consume even less screen.<br />
<br />
The HUD includes over 300 trigger phrases and operates in 3 modes - automatic, click only, and loop mode allowing you to hold animations indefinitely and combine animations.<br />
<br />
From the description on Outy's <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/2905">Second Life Marketplace</a>:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">With this HUD, you can mix facial expressions like paint. Great for
models who need to hold a pose indefinately, in-world performers who
want their mouth to perform dynamic movements during a performance,
those who want a timed auto-smile, or even those who just want to make
silly or ugly faces(Combining animations can make for some pretty crazy
faces).</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Auto Emote v2.0 supports 950 phrases, and you can edit them to your
liking. The Auto Emote Trigger Phrases notecard contains groups of 50
triggers per facial animation.</span></blockquote>
Here's a video I made of me using the Auto Emote HUD:<br />

Lots of Organicans were there as well as a cast of crazies - all dancing wildly. Here's a few snapshots and a couple of videos I took:<br />

I picked up a few more colors of my favorite vest and pocket watch as well as several nice tops and a gown. Super great sale - I have no idea how long it's going to last.<br />
<br />
Here I am modelling the Phoenix Rising Risk vest and pocket watch. The pants are included in the package (now only L$25 !!). I'm also wearing a white dress shirt from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/SleeplessMUSIC/175/128/31">Connors</a>, Dragoness shoes from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Copley%20Square/214/35/24">Kalnins</a>, nails & rings from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/TEMPURA%20SOBA/85/193/25">Mandala</a>.<br />

She provides a free skeleton costume to visitors then you just click and ride. The cool music stream is provided by March Macbain. Lots of fun stuff at BURN2 2011 - thanks Maya!<br />

There are nearly 500 videos linked in these playlists so the process was tedious but enjoyable since I get to watch a lot of great videos while I revise the lists.<br />
<br />
The playlists are formatted for various media devices in Second Life - the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/NHC-MEDIA-CENTER-AUDIO-VIDEO-WEB-ALL-IN-ONE/513331">NHC Media Center</a>, <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Damani-MediaViewer-Youtube-Dailymotion-ShoutCast-Music-Movies-Go/42726">Damani MediaViewer</a>, and <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Icarus-V2000-Mercury-LCD-Television-YouTube-Touchscreen-TV-Adult-Videos-Video-Sharing/1312314">Icarus V2000</a>. These Second Life televisions allow an SL resident to watch YouTube videos, play movies, view streaming video content and web TV shows, etc. I maintain the playlists inworld for my own use, on the Second Life Wiki <a href="https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Media_playlists">Media playlists article</a>, and available for purchase on the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/products/search?search%5Bcategory_id%5D=&search%5Bmaturity_level%5D=GMA&search%5Bkeywords%5D=Playlists+Missy+Restless">Second Life Marketplace</a>.<br />
<br />
There are playlists for Cake, Evanescence, Green Day, Pink Floyd, Slow Dances, Muse, lots of female
artists (e.g. Kat Deluna, Beyonce, Priscilla Ahn, A Fine Frenzy), Lady Gaga, Machinima, Trance, Fractals, Second Life music
videos, Tech N9ne, Infected Mushroom, Weezer, U2, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, and much more.<br />
<br />
Each playlist is a notecard written in that media device manufacturer's playlist format.
Simply drag the playlists you want to use from your inventory into the
Contents tab of your media device. The playlists should then show up
on the TV's menu.<br />
<br />
What this allows me to do inworld is easily plan and create an audio/video set either for personal use or as a Video DJ. No need for expensive difficult to setup Shoutcast stream server plus you get to watch the video :) Some SL media players allow you to simply click "Play List" and sit back or dance for hours while the TV streams dozens of videos inworld. Others you have to step through the list manually. Some players allow guests at your event to sync their viewers with yours, others only support asynchronous play. I use the NHC Media Center as it is cheap, plays lists, and guests can sync plus it comes with a Media Dome replete with dance floor visuals and a VJ booth.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you find any links that need updating, have any requests or suggestions, would like to contribute playlists or links to the wiki, or have any questions about how to set yourself up as a Video DJ.<br />
<br />
Here's a video treat from my "Wow Volume 1" playlist:<br />

Hey, I can do that too :) I follow dozens of Second Life blogs so these are just 5 I follow. It's a little surprising to me how few people seemingly follow SL blogs since the number and quality is high. I guess Second Life is still primarily an inworld experience but I find a lot of products, clothing, events, and pretty interesting socio-political-wtf drama in the SLogosphere.<br />
<br />
Here are 5 blogs I find extremely informative:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/">New World Notes</a> - Hamlet Au was formerly an embedded journalist for Linden Lab and now runs what is arguably the best Second Life news blog or anyway, the one I plurk/tweet most often.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://danielvoyager.wordpress.com/">Daniel Voyager's Blog</a> - Ok, well, maybe Hamlet's isn't the best SL news blog since Daniel's is arguably better. Daniel is also a contributor to the <a href="https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/History_of_Second_Life">History of Second Life</a> wiki article. Both of these guys seem to have excellent insider LL connections or anyway they are right on top of official announcements, events, and trends.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://modemworld.wordpress.com/">Living in the Modem World: Thoughts on Virtual Living</a> - Inara Pey maintains one of my favorite technically oriented Second Life blogs. Inara's is not strictly a technical blog - she also posts on fashion, design, devices, events, and more. However, her tech savvy is excellent and she provides detailed easy-to-understand explanations of breaking technical news.<br />
<br />
4. <a href="http://strawberrysingh.com/">StrawberrySingh.com</a> - Berry is another eclectic SL blogger, posting on fashion, tech issues, lifestyle, travel, and providing <a href="http://strawberrysingh.com/2010/04/12/tutorial-taking-high-res-blog-snapshots-for-intermediate-users/">excellent tutorials</a>. One of SL's best photographers, Berry's posts almost always include stunning pics. I copy her fashion advice often.<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://shoppingcartdisco.com/">Shopping Cart Disco</a> - this collaborative fashion and gossip blog is the home of SL Secret and the What I Like series, two of my favorites. SCD is a full service blog with posts on all topics written by a group of bloggers and contributors.<br />
<br />
If you find it too time consuming or tedious to visit a bunch of blogs then you might prefer to use an RSS reader. I use <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/?hl=en&tab=wy">Google Reader</a> so that all the blogs I follow are aggregated into a single view inside my reader. It makes clicking through blog posts from all over much easier.<br />

BURN2 is an extension of the Burning Man festival and community into the world of <a href="http://www.secondlife.com/" style="color: black;" target="_blank">Second Life</a>.
It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man regional event, and the only
virtual world event out of more than 100 real world Regional groups,
and the only Regional to burn the Man.<br />
<br />
It's pretty impressive. Emulating the real world Burning Man, the festival is laid out on a playa and includes a temple, themed art camps, and of course The Man. I selected a Windlight setting of my own (Barcelona) as I thought it looked better - use your own judgement. You may also want to wear only necessary attachments, leave your huds at home, and reduce your script count as the playa can be laggy due to the complexity of the installation.<br />
<br />
BURN2 is open to Second Life residents October 1-9.<br />
<br />
Here's <a href="http://youtu.be/Vr_wsLR_6BM">a video</a> and a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/missyrestless/sets/72157627659295705/">few photos</a> of what I saw today - enjoy!<br />

Yeah, I know Vallejo is not in Second Life but Earthdance is so cool it's like SL plus I have some photos I want to share :)<br />
<br />
Earthdance is a 3 day festival held simultaneously in hundreds of locations in dozens of countries. The vision of Earthdance is a world of communities joining in a common goal of global unity,
collaboration and evolution toward a Culture of Peace through music,
dance, prayer, and activism.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://earthdancelive.com/stages/2011-lineup">lineup in Northern California</a> this year included Ziggy Marley, Balkan Beat Box, Les Nubians, Trevor Hall, Indubious, Beats Antique, Delhi 2 Dublin, Faun, Tipper, Mimosa, Emancipator, and many many more.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the photos I took this year:<br />

They also have a nice selection of gowns, corsets, waistcoats, and an eclectic mix of items.<br />
<br />
I've reviewed other suits from silentsparrow before, including the <a href="http://missyrestless.blogspot.com/2011/06/silent-sparrow-ryou-suit.html">Ryou Suit</a> and the <a href="http://missyrestless.blogspot.com/2011/05/silent-sparrow-corbie-suit.html">Corbie Suit</a>.

One set, the <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/NHC-Media-Playlists/1132900">NHC Media Playlists</a>, I offer on the Second Life Marketplace for L$25. It's really convenient and kinda cool to be able to automatically play a series of YouTube videos on your land or in your club. Sort of like a Video DJ.<br />
<br />
However, the videos tend to disappear over time or become unplayable in Second Life. Several things can happen to make a video disappear. The user can pull it or quit YouTube. YouTube can make the video unavailable due to Copyright infringement. But, by far, the most frequent cause of YouTube videos disappearing or becoming unplayable in Second Life is due to the actions of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Music_Group">Warner Music Group</a> (WMG). Since WMG owns the rights to the songs recorded by artists under contract with them, they can get YouTube to pull them over Copyright dispute even if the artists do not object or actively encourage the free distribution and viewing of their music videos. All the artists can do is make the videos of live performances of their music available and most do.<br />
<br />
That artists do not control the distribution and terms of use of their own artistic creations seems wrong to me. It seems like a crime.<br />
<br />
The second most common thing WMG (and others, like Sony) do to "protect" "their" intellectual property is to disable embedding of the video. What this means is that you can watch the video on YouTube but the Second Life media players cannot play it in Second Life.<br />
<br />
All this adds up to making my playlists go stale over time as they gradually are inundated with links that no longer work in SL. Recently I've refreshed a few of my playlists and that is the reason for this post. I have updated my <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/NHC-Media-Playlists/1132900">NHC Media Playlists product on the SL Marketplace</a> replacing unavailable links with new ones that play in Second Life.<br />
<br />

I initially visited to see the artwork of Marcus Inkpen as featured in the <a href="http://sldesignerschallenge.blogspot.com/2011/08/looking-glass-la-mer.html">SL Designers Challenge</a>. I was quickly drawn to the exquisite artwork of <a href="http://www.jmrart.com/">J. Matthew Root</a>, on display in the gallery. Astounded, I looked him up on the web and in SL. Duh! J. Matthew Root is the RL artist also known as Marcus Inkpen in SL. Anyway, the art is awesome. Here is a selection of snapshots I took of some of his art starting with the one I went to see, La Mer, a 64 prim glass violin aquarium with animated tail & fins (L$600):<br />

Truly amazing. Thank you Marcus Inkpen. Hey, did everybody notice how all the art (even the animated aquarium) is only L$600 ? That is a way great deal. Go to Looking Glass and look around.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03780090361629877779noreply@blogger.com1
