Tonight I learned how to create a notecard, created my second ever object and made it so that the notecard displays when the object is touched. The notecard is a party invitation to the LINT end of year party. The object is a HUGE tie-dyed sphere at the door to the building. Hypatia and I [...]

Thanks to the Librarian In Black for this – a feature on librarianship in The Guardian: “The sheer range and complexity of electronic sources, library leaders say, means librarians have their work cut out keeping workers and the public ahead of the information game.” The article quotes Martin Molloy, president of the Chartered Institute of [...]

Cybrary City was moved this weekend to a better neighbourhood. Linden Labs had auctioned the land around Cybrary City,Eduisland and Info Island to people who wanted to host sex parties and a few businesses. Not really compatible. Our new co-ordinates are: 210,70,24.

So that more avatars can fit on the island, each building has a limit of prims (or basic shapes) that are allowed in it. Here’s a Prim Primer that was left at the doorstep of our library last week. Hypatia Arcadia and Emerald Dumont have been doing a bit of “prim cleaning” and changed the [...]
