Mini conference cum workshop today on Second Life held here on campus. To my shame (muddling it up with something else) I thought I'd mentioned its existence to former colleagues at TheOldPlace. My apologies to them for missing passing on the news; and my apologies to those here running the thing for not spreading the word more diligently.

It was interesting - scripting workshop very useful. Lunch was good. :-)

But the highlight of the day was the visitor from TheOldPlace (who'd heard about it from elsewhere!) who showed off the as yet not public space that TheOldPlace is building in Second Life. It looks absolutely fabulous and I'm very envious. It makes the speed at which we're doing anything look positively glacial. But then apparently they've farmed out the actual work to a foreign whizz which would explain a lot. But the design is great and it will be fascinating to see how it works in practice - 'specially the Library bit. Best of luck to them with it though. Even if we caught up I fear our vision might not look as attractive!
