Nothing to see here, move along please

I’ve finally realized that I simply have no interest whatsoever in maintaining this blog anymore, and have decided that I will be shutting it down soon.  I had been meaning to redesign and repurpose it, but it’s just been sitting idle, so I think it’s time to stick a fork in it and call it done.

I’ll leave it up for a little while longer, but expect it to disappear in the next week or so.

Thank you everyone for the past feedback and discussions :)

 

So long and thanks for all the fish

    Is that “So long and thanks for all the fish”? :)

    Well, I hope to see you around either way! :)

    It is :)

    (I really loved those books)

    I know, me too! :)

    How is your Blue Mars development effort going?

    Do you make many appearances in SL anymore?

    How is your Blue Mars development effort going?

    Slowly, but if we can manage to implement the things we’ve been planning, it will totally blow away C:SI as far as I’m concerned.

    Do you make many appearances in SL anymore?

    Very few. I’ve decided that I pretty much hate Second Life and the company that runs it, and the only reason I haven’t quit altogether is because of the wonderful people in the C:SI community.

    I’m sure that the bitterness of my treatment by Linden Lab and my frustration at the Second Life platform in general will fade over time, and I’ll start being more active eventually :)

    Since you will no longer be maintaining this blog do you have any means to keep us updated on your Blue Mars progress?
    I’m curious to see what you have planned as the BM equivalent of C:SI.

    I had originally intended to redesign this blog for that purpose, but there didn’t seem to be any significant amount of interest.

    Actually, I got quite a few negative comments, even one telling me that my new blog “looks like shit” even though this is just an interim design intended to be a placeholder until I can find the time to do a full blog design. Theme design is not a trivial task :)

    I probably will create a new blog, but I don’t really have much to share at this point since we’re still at the very early stages, and as I said above I still haven’t had time to design a new blog theme.

    Well, perhaps you could send out a Tendai notice at some point if you feel things have progressed to the point you have something to share. I’m curious to see what becomes of Blue Mars and your efforts there.
    I’m going to have to investigate their underlying architecture, if there’s much published out there, and see how it compares, resourcewise, to SL.
    For example, in SL, overcrowded areas tend to produce packet sizes in excess of 1200-1500 bytes per frame update and that approaches the 600Kbps bandwidth of many household DSL links.
    I guess I need to study Blue Mars and see how they are doing things different.

    Greetings. Since I’m sad, I don’t say good-bye. I wanna say see you soon…
    A performance of my home/office’s pc isn’t so high. Therefore, it was necessary to use another office’s another pc for starting blue-mars. However, I have registered account into blue-mars. I want to see your work early on blue-mars.
    Is it katana? house(“Daikon Forge Building”)? New genre? I want to see your product early.

    ’m going to have to investigate their underlying architecture, if there’s much published out there, and see how it compares, resourcewise, to SL.

    It has higher client requirements such as a beefier video card, but isn’t as network intensive.

    Right now I’m just working on scripting the combat system. Eventually I will have katana as well as other weapons, buildings, etc.

    Ready.

    I can see your really hurting Robby. Its a shame that SL chewed up another person and spit them out. I guess it boils down to what you want out of a system that takes up some of your life and I can respect that. Thanks for listening to me without critizing too harshly. I appreciate that.

    *Good Fight*

    I echo the statements of my clanmate, JulieAnn. I would say more but pretty much sums it up. /me copy and pastes the Taketori several times in inventory.
