DISQUS

Also, when someone bumps into you, it's very British to say "Sorry" to them.

No, those are braces. We call them the plural too. I think the difference is that we don't have a separate word for 'retainer' - that would be braces as well.. Or maybe *that's* the singular.

Oh my, this is insanely wonderful.

Awesome

*aw*

Torley, that is the greatest thing I have ever heard. I'm so made up for you guys. You're both simply wonderful, and it's amazing that you're together.

OMGZ. That is quite simply stunning Torley :D

"represent", or "re-present"? :)

> don’t recreate your RL buildings in SL

Well yes, I agree, but having spent the past couple of months doing just that, I do think that RL re-creations have some value within SL, providing that their use doesn't try to re-create RL.

Providing you do it well, and then reuse the space for activities that are inherent to SL and couldn't be achieved anywhere else, then a re-creation can act as a transitional space - bridging both worlds, and throwing up jarring inconsistancies that force users of that space to really think about the environments they inhabit.

Well, I use them with the Flickr API and the SL Map API to make that map thing of mine (which is a little borked right now)

But you could do things like pull-out all the photos from (say) Grassmere and display them as a continually updated snapshot of what's going on around your build.

Or something - it just makes mash-ups very easy :-D

Think you can persuade Mark to tag the photos with the region name and coordinates as well? :-D

Heh, it crashes for me too if I try and do anything before SL's finished uploading the postcard. I just leave it be and make a brew while it's doing its stuff ;)

When I was very young, and just getting my feet wet in programming for the first time, I demonstrated my complete lack of time-perspective by telling a programme to sleep for a billion seconds.

In about 4 years time (if it's still switched on) some old terminal screen somewhere in Belfast is going to pop up with the words "Hello World!"

Yay!

At last my newsreader recognises your feed properly! :D

That's the best one I've read so far
