Hi there,

I’m extremely busy this month, but I have a few clients that might be interested. I’m posting a link to this at www.sldevelopers.com, and I’m emailing a couple people.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me!

There’s a good list there. In particular bedazzled and avalon are probably the top two tier professional groups. electric sheep is good as well.

Nicholas,
I saw this post linked from clickableculture.com, and although I am not a serious SL developer, seeing as per your profile your job is to find “cool things” to do with technology I thought you might be interested in what we do.

My band, robots.txt, has been doing live audio webcasts for the last 5 years. In January, we have taken up residence in Second Life and from here on out, this will be our main venue for live shows. There is a lot of folk and acoustic music in SL, ironic seeing how cutting edge the tech is, but as far as I know, we are the only Techno band currently gigging in SL. I certainly haven’t run accross and rock bands, but the potential is there.

Our first show in January really felt like a live show, we got great realtime feedback from the crowd. My band mate and I were both in world in avatar form, sending a live stream from our studio onto my land in SL.

So, if you get this post in time, and you want to experience a live music show in Second Life, stop on by the MoonBase. We will be playing our next show tomorrow evening from 6 to 10 SL time.

[…] So I reverted to what I knew best: The Call. The Call is something I got from art school, basically putting a Call out for papers, proposals, exhibits, portfolios, etc. It also comes a lot from academic conferences (and non academic ones as well). […]

The XMPP feed was really cool. Why Twitter won't allow relaying is beyond me. If twitter decentralized and did a node/hub based architecture with a good toolkit, things would be much different.

So why couldn't a loosely coupled, queue based system using XMPP work as a twitter clone? Hash table lookups for @replies, a good OSPF type routing table for interserver communication and asynchronous messaging propagation. Lets get cracking!

The dutch certainly like their Twitters! That's better twitter coverage than we got at most of the US shows.

For the past ten years "tapped for web series" has usually been synonymous for "lots of money on stuff no one will want to watch." Can Google + MacFarlane reverse this? Probably not, because they don't understand the concept of Windowing. Content is successful when not built up with expectations.

so this reminds me that Indigo Home Automation software + native iPhone App is going to absolutely MURDER as a home automation device. IndigoIndigo has an IP protocol and Zeroconf support. Our iPod Touch in our house is already doing this using a web based interface for us. Also consider the possibilities of using the iPod to control a wider array of devices, like your home stereo (using IRTransIRTrans), your air conditioner, etc. The iPod Touch suddenly kills the Phillips Prestigo, Logitech Harmony, etc. The Touch costs less than the Harmony, but IRTrans is not that cheap.

This is severely retarded. Honestly. In Orange County, a city with a plentiful population of people needing jobs and wanting to work and invested in their communities, a paper instead opts to crowdsource through Indian outsourcing than maybe offering to give something back to the community by crowd sourcing through, maybe parts of the city with high unemployment? Fuck. The stupidity abounds.

So this is another in the line of REM experiments. With this one, fans can help create the animations for the tour backdrop in the European leg, through October. The animations will get assembled and shipped off to Blue Leach, who is doing the background video.
