Becoming DJ in SL
Inspired by a question on Plurk, I thought I might explain what separates the “DJs” (quotes on purpose) from the DJs.
First of all, let me welcome you to the year 2010, which is far beyond the early 2000’s where 128 kbit or less were acceptable due to slower internet connections. Nowadays, 128 kbit MP3 is [...]
Snowglobe:Frequency discontinued
About 4 weeks ago, I posted that I was not sure where the journey would go. Well, it ends here.
The fact that the Windows maintainer doesn’t seem active any more makes the decision a bit easier (but wasn’t the reason). Personally, I’m considerably fed up with ironing out bugs and dealing with the many very [...]
Future of Snowglobe:FE
Over the last two months, I was a bit unfortunate. First I was extremely busy, because the New Year will turn my professional life (the real life that is) upside down. So I had to get many things done to be prepared for the changes. That’s still ongoing, and will be for at least another [...]
XStreet SL Policy Changes

Sean’s Mansion of Rock

My idealistic (or naive) view is to have a club, which has a nice atmosphere, great lighting and music, and does [...]
I strongly disapprove of NeilLife!
By now, almost everyone in and around Second Life will have heard about the NeilLife viewer, which in a nutshell provides an enormous amount of tools for content theft activities. So far, I didn’t pay attention really, because that’s not the kind of viewer I’m interested in. Compliance with Linden Lab’s ToS is not optional. [...]
Plurk rocks
I think it’s definitely worth a short blog post. When I signed in for plurk a few days ago, I was kind of disappointed by the user interface and found it a bit childish that you have to earn karma to get new smileys and stuff. However, I needed to know what it was about, because [...]
1,000 Downloads of Snowglobe:Frequency
I’d like to say thank you to the fans and supporters of Snowglobe:Frequency!
Since we released version 1.0.0 on October 7th (that is 3 weeks ago!), we have seen 1,000 downloads of our viewer! I decided to publish my own viewer more or less out of the blue, and with the help of Alex Fride and [...]
