Vote for scalable megaprims on Estate land in Second Life

Many thanks to Qarl Linden who - in comments to my previous post regarding the 2nd anniversary of the Big Prim Problem - suggested that Linden Lab might compromise and consider making scalable megaprims available on Estate land. To that end, I asked my JIRA-savvy friend Dirk Talamasca to create such a proposal for us, thereby enabling everyone to have their say on this potential new feature... and HERE it is. Please go vote!

To vote on a JIRA issue, log in with your first and last Second Life names, enter your Second Life password - don't worry, the JIRA belongs to Second Life - and then look in the left hand column for voting options.

Ever wish you could search for objects in your inventory by the creator's name?

Wizard Gynoid has created a new JIRA issue that I can really get behind: #MISC-2717 suggests that the "Creator" field be added to the SQL query in the Inventory "Search" field.

How many times have I wished for this? If you feel the same way, please vote!

Don't know how to vote? Easy peasy!
1) Go to this link.
2) Sign in with your first and last name (so I would sign in: Bettina Tizzy)
3) Your password is the same as your avatar's password.
4) Look in the lower right hand margin for the word "Voting" and click on the link to Vote.

Voila!

Great news for Machinima makers: Lip sync in Second Life is now possible

Evo Szuyuan is an expert on visualization and information applications, not to mention a terrific artist and Machinima maker.

Evo has alerted me to some exciting information that is especially relevant to Machinimators and voice users, which I take pleasure in sharing with you here. While Second Life now offers Voice Chat, avatars' lips are lifeless. Now Mm Alder has implemented a Babble loop for voice visualization that makes lip sync possible in Second Life. Creative Machinery is hosting the binaries for Windows here. The code may be downloaded from the JIRA. To understand how it works, please refer to Mm Alder's wiki. Thanks for the tip, Evo!

By the by... if you are like me and do not understand what JIRA stands for, it is a Java EE web-based bug tracking and issue tracking application developed by Atlassian Software Systems, and used by Linden Lab.
