I call myself a wandering elf…and so I am, traversing the vast landscape we call Second Life and often leaving the haven of my tree house for hours at a time. I came upon a fantastic premise in world today….Second Life’s first TV station has apparently arrived. It’s called Life 4-U and promises to deliver SL news. I loved the concept…and tped in straight away. As I’ve found is common in SL lately (maybe it’s down to time zone differences, or maybe I’m just unlucky), the place was deserted…but I was impressed by the sight that greeted me. An entire TV studio, complete with cameras. Unfortunately, even after following the instructions and switching my preferences to view streaming video…no magical TV channels or functions materialised. It took me a little while to realise that I no longer had Quicktime installed (one of the perils of sharing your rl computer with someone who hates Apple), which you need in order to view the stream. I did, however, get to snatch a quick sit down at one of the nearby computer terminals. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be doing at said computer, but my tired feet thanked me for it all the same.
Go see it for yourself (or not, as the case may be, hehe): http://slurl.com/secondlife/Big%20Bit/72/72/26
On a separate note, after reading Imstill and Hybel’s extremley flattering comments about my tree home *blushes*, I’ve realised my failure to provide a slurl (slaps head and says doh! several times). So here it is: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Arah/73/129/96 Please feel free to drop in and grab at drink at my tavern…elves and non-elves most welcome! Hint: When you hit the landing coordinates, fly up!
