Tray to be a be a better agent to protect the President!
A resume about one year more Austria City in Second life (Linden LAb).
The Year goes to the end and it was one of the most interesting year i had with a community that rocks like Mozart would due .
What happen in the last year in Virtual Austria City of Second life ?
Who are the Stars of Austria Live ?
Most of you are not so deep into it when you listen to an artist or watch an Avatar .But there is much more talent and creativity you can see behind of it
Here are the Top 3 Real Stars of our last year who make it what it was a terrific Musical experience with REAL Musical Stars.
Most of them play in real in front of big crowds for ticket prises usual for concerts. On the Austria Live Stage The EYE they play for by the Sim limit Avatars ,like a Private concert.
On my question to Reiss why she is doing that “Its a the virtual extension of my career”
Here just a view because not all off you had the chance to get them in SL.
1.Sinestetic Jazz - SinesteticJazz Rau
Played several times in Austria and was one of the first Artist who found the stage and field it with the soul and vibes of his great Jazz Tunes .
He just returned from a concert Tours in front of 10.000 Fans.
2.Reis Brazil /Italy Ald Alter Composer
Brazilian Grove with a magnetic voice a Italian Baruilan Band of world class.
Right know on Europe Tour. Feels Opera Concert halls halls with 5000 People and more.

3.Geneta Babii /Portugal
Best Performance in SL ,a real Live Ballet Crew shows what never seen on any Grid not Even in real live a “Avatar Ballet” of high tension and high artistic value. Does the Author of Snow-crash ever think that this can happen ?
OPERA Joven ,Brent Renard Mexico/Italy
The Opera Tenor best known over the Grid the most famous voice at all probably in Classic music .The Opera Joven choose “The Eye” the Virtual Clone of a real live biggest Open Air Opera Stage as there Home stage and perform multiple concerts with high audience peeks .Bernt full file a very old Austrian Mexican Friendship that dates back into the 1935.(Mexicoplasa)
What social Projects else was a success in Austria.
The biggest virtual grid wide Avatar Demonstration ever was a Human Chain for Burma get virally spread over multiple Sims and even extend his massage on the Web Blogs .In about 24 hours it runs over multiple culture and language barriers with a very simple concept but important massage to support the monks in Burma.Inziatet and Started in Austria City by Esmayeelie Delphin
(Austria relation Salzburg Princess of Burma Wiki)
FLICKR STREAM
What was our intention for all this effort ?
We tray to build a Window in to the virtual World for Austria to show what features the new technologies like SL can bring to a public space and to share our experience with Austrians.
There is a Website as a extension of the Sim. www.Metaprime.at

And last but not least thanks to the great
Austria Live Group
for support and Visit of Austrias Art and Music Events .
It was long time i doesn’t comment anything about the change and rumor what is going on on the Grid .As many of you read in other Blogs and Forums there was a massive change in politics on the Second life Grid .The radical prise rise for Light Sims kill many residents and there Projects .Linden rewind there announcement and slow down there prise range ,but the Glass was broken ,people don’t trust any more .
Moving to new Grids Open Sim Grid -Shipment get on the Arche noa .
As i read on the “Not Possible Blogs” and many others the real old and most creative groups of Builder and artist are turning there back to Second life .
There is a massive lack in development and support for the Backbone on the Grid .The one who build all of this nice and creative things you can see in SL.
As we follow for over 1.5 Year the Open Sim development Scene from version 0.1 on. We setup several regions for testing purpose and backup .As one of our main Regions get fully Delete .The Old Oesterreich Sim with the Grand wheel “Riesenrad” just get fully away not only from the Sim Linden Sim also deleted the Inventory of the Avatar who build it .The Sim was Owned by the Next Horizont Agency. Since then they lost the motivation and trust to build anything more on linden Sims.
Exit Strategies ,since 6 moth we continue to build and develop on our Open Sim regions and on a smooth exit strategy .They are not open to public yet but it would need not much to open it up and connect it to one of the Open space regions.
When i start there i don’t believe that any female avatar would move too a open Sim as there was no Dress and Clothes all standard Avatars ,But now i hear there are even more female than male Avatars about 1 Man to 9 Woman Avatars.
Could it be that the old Continents get soon nothing more than a prehistoric museum of the begin of the Virtual Worlds new Net structure .There was an old phrase “the Captain leave as the last person the Boat ” one year ago Robin Linden one of the leading Chief Captains of linden get fired .Shortly after
Phillip Linden get of his position of CEO on Linden .My alarms bells just get loud .
but we stay for one year more ,had done some real unique Events on the Grid .
Now the Power and motivation is over to help a company who doesn’t care about there residents. For Months i can’t use the standard client ,have to use alternative clients.
Wikis hardest critics about SL
You think its pessimistic ? read what the Wiki write about SL ,If they would take care about there own platform they would not allow that.There PR Officer just lean back some where on a virtual Beach .Non Professionalism doing here a very bad job. As i already mention on some Business Forums on second Commerce .
Even the bigger Group leaders turning there back to the Grid .Why ?
Wiki Second life EN
Wiki Second Life DE
here some of the head lines ,and this people are not the Nope Press people this are the one heavy involved leader of big communities and groups the one invested time and money here ,like us .

Google Trends show the truth
But buy the Way there is a huge light on the Horizon ,as SL get stuck in there new Biz Politics Virtual Worlds growing constantly and still more rapid than ever just take a look what google Trend shows Up. For some reason some communities are still growing and are heavily interested in Virtual environment leading Countries are the Brazilian ,Portuguese ,Italian yes and New zealand .Countries with heavy temperament and real creative Cultures in Design and Social interaction in real and virtual Lives.

Frei übersetzt by Wagner Rau
This is for my memories and for the one don’t don’t ting all time the keyboard hard when moving there Avatar in a virtual world .
Mostly the one like SL user is by pressing the Arrow Buttons and some ALT and String combinations.
Let tray forget this kind of stone age navigation as visual worlds are very rich for explorer it need a richer navigation too.
Here my 3 ways i want to introduce as i don’t find any comments or Blogs about .Here i will use as a example only a Second Life Avatar.
1.Navigation with our PlayStation Gamepad (wireless)
Japan video as its soo easy to setup
Some have probably a Game pad from the PlayStation 2 Xbox or simliar no need to buy a new Space navigator or any more stuff .The Navigator have a cable too my Playstation Gamepad is wire less and even if you buy a new one its about 25.-Euro so a real cheep Navy.
you woud need some simple extra soft to map the Gamepad with the Short cuts of your Sl Client.The Gamepad Mapper i used is free and will work with most or even all Software and any kind of Gamepad .
JoytoKey 3.7.4 from Ryo Ohkubo Download is free and really multifunktional even multiple Gamepads can be connected and run .I will add a my Settings for Download here too if i find this Download widget i see ones at Barons Blog.
2. Navigate Second Life Avatars with your voice only
The Video is a Combat simulation witch i don’t like but the tool is great. This is probably one of the most funny and easy ways to navigate through a 3D environment .Just give you Avatar a voice command to fly instant or teleport or get a view to a profile.
This method include a free Software from a Argentinian Developer
called PiLfIuS! ver 0.9 http://www.pilfius.com.ar ,a tung breaker don’t ask me how too spell it .
He invented this for Flight Combat simulators manly but it works just fantastic with Virtual words with voice too.
What it doss it maps your voice commands to keystrokes .It works with the Microsoft Speech engine .As I am very lazy my training with the Speech engine was limited to 30 minutes and he understand every command i give him.That’s the Sofa surfer version ,you can navigate through every virtual world with your voice only .
If you add your Bluetooth headset from your mobile to your Laptop or PC you even don’t have too sit in front of a PC to navigate threw virtual worlds like a charm.
Add: somehow the Developer site is Down

The Logitech Method -Fly Air MX
My present for Christmas and the only expensive version .But most fun too. I buy a MX Air Maus from Logitech i believe in it for a long time .With that mouse you don’t have too sit on a table to place your mouse. IT fly like your Avatar too .So same same :-) just move the mouse in any direction and the mouse will follow .About 4 additional programmable buttons you can map some SL functions in if you wish. This thing is just fine for the EGO mode or first person view when you move the mouse the Avatar move his head .very sensitive and precise.And my suggestion if you have a shirt with a pocket in front (man only sorry) just put it in if you move your body slight right or left the Avatar will look in the same direction.
Only minus it cost about 140.-Euro but as long you can use it for any Business presentation or other game applications too i think its worth. And the Design is lovely too by the way …
Pleas simple warning don’t use this avatar navis at your Second life land .You can make mistakes and delete some of your stuff by foult. Go to the sandbox or to a Betagrid to test it !
If you know any other Avatar remote navigation methode please drope a litel note.Es wird Zeit über alternativen nachzudenken .Die Entwicklung des von Linden Lab entwickelten Second life Clients ist ins stocken geraten.
Der schon längst überfällige post zu alternativen Clients für das SL Grid möchte ich hier eine kleine Übersicht posten.Seit über einem Jahr beobachte ich die Client Entwickler und da hat sich unheimlich viel getan .
Hier fange ich ohne Wertung bei einem Exoten an .Der die Entwickler-in kann man getrost als Scripty Kid bezeichnen .Da sein alter bei Start der programmierung gerade mahl 16 Jahre alt war (heute 18).Die Rede ist vom Webbasierenden Client AjaxLive mit welchem man sich in SL einlogen kann ohne den Schwergewichtigen Graphischen Client zu benutzen .Als ich den Client vor einem Jahr auf meinem HTC Tuch testete musst ich feststellen das es nicht ging .
Der Entwickler hatte damals angesprochen noch keine Interesse gezeigt die Sache Richtung Mobile kompatibilität weiter zu entwickeln.

Heute wurde ich durch eine Besucherin aus China Vint Falken aufmerksam auf eine sehr interessante Umfrage über Obama versus McCain? vor den Wahlen wie die Spieler der online Spiels Word of warcraft die 2 Kandidaten Einschätzen in Ihrer Welt.
Wie aussage kräftig das Ergebnis ist erkennt man am Ausgang der Wahl .
Obama wahr der klare Gewinner mit 62% der Stimmen .Nicht allzu weit entfernt ,die Umfrage wurde am 29. Oktober 2008 durchgeführt.Ein Teil der Obama Online Internet strategie ? zumindest fast 400.000 leute haben sie gesehn und über 2000 Bewertungen abgegeben .
Hat jemand die Umfrage in Second life gemacht ? Soweit mir bekannt ist gibt es ein Draxtor Report über Obama. Mein alter Freund seit der virtuellen Burma Demo am Grid.
Vor 3 tagen Kündigte Lidden LAb eine Massive Preiserhöhung für de light Sims an .Eine Preiserhöhung von fast 65% für alle Open Sim Simulatoren. Liden lab begründet die Erhöhung mit der übermäßigen Nutzung und Belastung ihrer Server durch die fast 2 Mal so hoch in anspruch genomenen Light sims .
Die preise für ein light Sim waren bei 75$ (ca 50€) Miete pro Monat und steigen auf 165 $. Durch diesen unklugen Schachzug wandten Sich unzählige Einwohner der Virtuellen Welt Second life mit protesten und Avatar verbrennungen als visuelles Zeichen gegen die Politik Linden labs .
Auch Computerfirmen Finanzieren mit Krediten ,Ihr infrastruktur wenn das eine Simulation ist ist das keine Übung dann dürfen wir uns auch in Europa auf ähnliche Preiserhöhungen gefasst machen in realen leben.
Die Erhöhung wird mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit eine weitere Abwanderung Richtung OPEN SIM bedeuten welche zwar noch im beta Stadium sich befindet doch eine weiterentwicklung des Open Source Software von second life und der Lybs comunity darstellt .Einer der communities der besten Software Architekten weltweit die Sich zur Aufgabe gestellt hat ein Dezentralisiertes Grid zu schaffen .
Auch wir haben seit ca . 8 Monaten $ Open Sim Simulatoren im Test betrieb und nach dem Verlust des Riesenrades (Total Löschung ) unseren content gesichert und teilweise bereits auf den Open sim Simulatoren aufgebaut .
Was wie bereits vorhersehbar eine natürliche weiter Entwicklung der virtuellen Welten in eine offene für jeden zugängliche Platform macht so wie Internet auch von einer UNI Intranet Anwendung zu einer freien Platform wurde. Was nie verloren geht ist die Erfahrung .Seit ca 2 Monaten beteilige ich mich am Cross Teleportations System mit den GRidonauten welches von IBM erstmals erfolgreich getestet wurde und einem kleinen Kreis zur weiterentwicklung und Beta Test zur verfügung steht .
CRoss Telexports sind Teleports von verschiedenen Grids wie zb einem Linden LAb Server mit SL Software auf eine Open SIm oder vielleicht bald auf ein IBM Virtuelle oder eine Sony oder MYspace Virtuellen Welt.
Long time some theme goes through my mind .Who is the most famous Avatars in Second life ?
Our Projects Austria City Vienna is quite small in relation to the US German or Italian ones but in Real world anyway Austria is a small country too. But that still one of the richest with culture and music .That’s probably the reason why Avatars from all around the world find Austria City .Specialty culture and music interested folk like Italians ,Japanese and Canadians (many go from Burgenland to Canada 1900 the 3. Generation visit first time in there life Austria Virtual).
Not that much from Germans as we could suspect as German is native Lang and same timezone. Also from US very few visitors because i think still most US people don’t know much about the difference of Austria and Australia .
Just for the Memories some times some famous Avatars also find this little SIM
Like today Mister M Linden how visit our Metagalelry where Alissa a very talented Jung painter exhibit here work.Some times ago i could see even Pathfinder Linden exploring Austria City .As i don’t know really the Lindens .
It was very Interesting
Who is Pathfinder Linden ,as much the web and Google says he is strongly in projects for disabled Persons and have done very interesting projects for that community.From the pictures i have seen he must be about 40 years old.
Who is M Linden this Linden is quite well known on from most Avatars .M Linden stands for Mark Linden and he got the New Captain of the huge virtual ship called Second Life .[my first Weeks]
You can read more Twittering
But too come back too my Topic again same like in real world sone people get very famous like actors Arnold Schwarzenegger or special peopel done important thing on social matters like mahatma Gandhi or Herbert von Karajan
But Who are the Avatars most well known allover the grid and i don’t mean the Lindens the one with some random Family names known all over the Grid and Timezones .If you know a special one pleas post it here
This is just the beginning of a huge new social world .
