LOL well given what Cam was screening on the virtual TV in the new TPN HQ … I think it *is* all about sex But that was only because someone lost the remote …

@Brie I agree with you. Stay tuned this week for KW’s rant.

I can arrange someone to get you started in SL. I amnew too and so probably not the best person But I am getting to know some people and they are all nice and I can hook you up. Shoot me an email to the feedback address when you are ready

I loved this podcast. Knightwise should give it up and love SL (since, as was alluded to in the podcast, SL is all about SEX - even though Dave disagrees).

I would like to find someone to help me get started on it. Like a tutor…

I have to say, even I’m giving SL a second look after the podcast. The first time I played I couldn’t get off the tutorial island, and gave up after an hour or so.

This time I’ve had people I know who are regulars in SL give me a bit of a tutorial and get me started…

Listened to the show last night and I have to also give you Kudos for being an excellent host on the show. It was a bit of an eye opener and in some aspects, it made me wonder if I really did give it a bad rap. Sort of funny listening to two Dave’s in one show.

@Knightwise thanks for the thanks. We worked hard to overcome some problematic issues to make this happen. I am actually very, very satisfied with the show and I am proud of the results.

Thanks to everyone for listening. Even George who did not think he would!

KW your rant will definitely be in this weeks show, oh and there will be a surprise as well…

After getting my ZUNE! back into operational order, I have this show in the queue. Can’t wait to give it a listen.

before I throw myself in the dogghouse for ranting on second life I wanna congratulate you Dave on proving that you are an excellent host. Really high-quality show moderation there. Hats of ..

I joined SL in 2005 after Kelly Goto gave it a plug at Web Essentials (WE05), Sydney. I hated it. I was getting latency of about 9 SECONDS and couldn’t get off orientation island.

It was only earlier this year when I hooked up with the Perth and TPN crew in SL (plus since then upgraded from 256 to 1500 ADSL) that they helped me get off orientation island and showed me around the place and how to use it properly. Otherwise I would never have used it again.

I didn’t publicly express my disappointment in SL at the time like the people you mentioned who are in there for only 10 minutes then think they’ve experienced it enough to be able to give a qualified opinion of SL … but it does certainly need work in the orientation aspect. Perhaps if orientation island wasn’t SL at all, or a hybrid of web-based and SL-based training.

Good show - awesome idea doing a cross-show in-SL podcast!

Dave

Interesting podcast. Didn’t think I would listen to it in its entirety but did anyway. Looking forward to KWs rant.

I must say, although im not a convert to SL i can see why people would become hooked in it.

And yes the arguement re sitting in front of the TV vs SL is valid. Unless you ask my wife then it is not. She would rather me sit in front of TV than sit in front of a computer. I digress.

I guess my position stems from the fact that my real life is busy and when I wish to enter a SL, i tend to play computer games or which are a fair way away from reality. Well at least running round shooting in a FPS is or sitting watching a RTS.

Actually, I probably wont ever go to SL as im too tight to pay for some Lindens.

However, each to their own.

Cheers

George

Mike your url is fixed - although I am not sure what was wrong with it

Thanks Eric and Hern. @Hern I am not sure that most users spend anywhere near that. I would think that a few US dollars will get you started and in fact - you really don’t need to spend any, there is heaps of free stuff in SL

Glad you guys enjoyed the show, it was a blast to record produce and share.

Great show! I’m listening to the last few minutes now. I’ll be going through the blogs, looking at flickr and subscribing to Dave’s show after dinner.

Haven’t gotten into Second Life yet, but I just moved house and I’ve now got myself high speed Internet, so it won’t be long before I lose my SL virginity. It looks interesting, but I can’t imagine spending $100’s of dollars on it.
