Contemporary Zen Poetry Workshop,Tue 9/27,7pm SLT

This week the Short Poetry Workshop explores Contemporary Zen Poetry with guest host Ngagpa Writer. Contemporary Zen Poetry breaks away from the rigid structure of traditional Zen Poetry and has no set form or meter. Short and probably NOT so much to the point, contemporary Zen Poetry explores the inner consciousness of the poet.

2016 OSHG: OpenSim - What it will take to get into prime time? By Steve LaVigne. HGProjects

OpenSim - What it will take to get into prime time?  
Invited post by Steve LaVigne,  CFO A Dimension Beyond, Inc.
As part of the OSHG initiative, I am posting articles by members of the Organization Committee and potential members of the OpenSim Development Committee.  All articles are open for comment.  The intent for these committees is that they represent the interests of the whole OpenSim community.
  • Steve LaVigne is Halcyon-Moses Liaison on the OSHG Organization Committee.
  • Steve Franklin is the av name for Steve LaVigne
  • Emphasis (bold) by Selby Evans.
  • The views expressed are those of Steve LaVigne.

Multiple ways to use OpenSim

  • Keep in mind that there are multiple ways to use OpenSim
  • As in SL: Register on a grid, load a viewer, enter and look around
  • As in SL: Rent land if you want
  • Hypergrid: Enter a hypergrid-connected grid, go to other such grids
  • Run your own grid on a grid host: INDEPENDING HOSTING
  • Run a grid on your own computer: Sim-on-a-stick

Editor's note

  • When I (Selby Evans) publish other people's work, I shift from author to editor.
  • I will only change the layout a bit, add hyperlinks, and make minor changes for clarity.  
  • I post the article because I think some of my readers will be interested in it.
  • The views expressed are not necessarily mine.  
  • You can reply to the author in comments on the article.  
  • No captcha, no sign in, no delay in you reply promptly.

Contents

  • 1. Hardware issues:
  • 2. Software issues:
  • 3. People and attitude Issues:
  • 4. Avatar issues.
  • 5. OpenSim needs to be monetizable!
  • 6. OpenSim and the handicapped.

2016 PROMO: Virtual Worlders are violating the time line. We must expect problems with time and place.

Virtual Worlders are violating the time line.  
We must expect problems with time and place.
Virtual Worlders have moved into the 21st century.  For the most part the old world remains in the 20th century.    The residents of the metaverse live in a different world.  A different space-time field.  We move around in our virtual world in seconds.  We pay practically nothing for our travel.  To make a 10 am meeting, we leave at three minutes to ten.  Back in the last century, people watched that kind of thing on Star Trek and thought it was fiction.  
-
Back then, people thought it was science fiction when doors slid open as people approached them.  That door trick actually reached the old world back toward the end of the last century (probably with a boost from Star Trek), so even the old people nowadays would run into the entry door of the grocery store if it did not open for them.  
  • Imagination is not the opposite of reality.  Imagination is the future of reality. 

Take away notes

  • There are 24 time zones.  9 pm. happens 24 times every day.  
  • If you want new worlders to come to your party, give them a way to know the time.
  • There are 200-300 grids on the hypergrid.  
  •  If you don't give the HG address of your grid, people can't HG to your place.
