Global Coordinates

Hopefully I have found a way to fix the recent lack of Global Coordinates from image postcard posts, send to bloghud.com. This should mean that the map will load correctly again. Since some changes to how Linden Lab do the mapping stuff, it has not been working. This fix might break, as it's not really an official fix to the problem. Oh well. Here goes!! :)

OK. This *should* work!!

You will see that the postcards from SL have changed quite a bit and have few fewer images in the attachment. Before the change made (which was done to provide MUCH better images) there were loads of images sent along, to make the 'pretty' email. Now it's just the postcard and the Sl logo. Fingers crossed!!! :)

Flying down the Strip

Flying down the roads of the snowy sims at night is great. It has a snowy Las Vegas feel about it. So much signage. But the snow and the night make it seem OK, if you know what I mean. These must be old sims. I quite like it. More roads in SL please!!! Those 'gouges' in the parcel lines aren't for nothing you know!! :)

Incredible Castle or Cathedral

Probably not suitable for Weddings and Christenings though. But seems perfect for your weekly sacrifices and funerals. Am I going to hell now? ;p It's really a great build out here in the snow.

Another quick test to check the new features from the 'Konference Centre' where I hope to have a blogHUD users meetup discussion to talk about blogHUD and some ideas I have for the future. And naturally, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can make the service better for your needs. Stay tuned for news on that. ;)

Oooh look ! A new HUD! ;)

I just made a little HUD to post to twitter. Let me know if you want a go of one. It's pretty simple so far and doesn't list posts from your friends yet. This will no doubt find its way into the blogHUD for the next version if there's enough interest. ;)

Free Land for the Masses? GeoTown?

Since hearing about the removal of 'First Land' - the heavily discounted 512m squared plots which users could buy for L$512 - I worry about how easy it is for newcomers to get 'engaged' in this world.

Very much like the early days of the world wide web, around 1994, when it took quite a bit of geekery to get anything on the web, eventually companies like GeoCities popped up to make it easy to get a web page up on the internet - for FREE : if you could

So, I wonder - are there any places like this in Second Life? Places where newcomers can bed down for a while to get a feel for the advantages of 'having a home' on the Grid.

Maybe this lack of First Land might stop the ugly 'Ghettos' which appear rapidly around First Land areas, which can also put off newcomers, I suppose. They really can be a mess. The thing is, this 'chaos' can also be the alluring this about SL.

Would a 'free hosting' - 'free land' business work in SL, if it was propped up financially by obnoxious ads? ;)

Announcing support for new Google Blogger Blogs!

Finally!!! After what seems like months of prodding and head banging, I can now annouce support for the new Google Account based Blogger blogs.

Those of you out there who are still using the 'old' Blogger system will find that you will have to move your accounts over to a Google Account login.

In order to set up your new Blogger accounts - they used to call it Blogger Beta. btw - log in to bloghud.com and go to Your Account page. Then select 'manage my external blogs' and you will see below the blog choice form a link for the New Google Blogger

Click this then follow the instructions. If you sare not already signed in to your Google Account, you will be asked to log in - NB: This is a Google Page on their server (in a frame) - BlogHud does not store your Google Account details at all. You will n

Happy HUDSlinging! :)

It's coming again! "yay!"

Just to let you all know that I am working on getting the new Blogger accounts working here. Google really have not made it easy, which is why it has been taking a while to get my head around it all ;)

I think I just had a minor breakthrough in understanding how they need it to all work, but now I have to work out which bits to encrypt and how. And I have to generate something called a 'nonce'. Which is kinda funny.

While researching how to provide support for these Google accounts, I asked an employee : Q: will the users be asked to move? Or forced to move to the new system?

To which he replied : 'Force' is such a strong word. But the movement from old Blogger to new Blogger is not optional.

Well, if he doesn't make it in GoogleLand, he can always try his hand at being a politician ;)
