Meta Linden prepared the SL Key Metrics for July 2007. Besides some new numbers on performance and stability, the following I find interesting:
24.3% of the active SL avatars (Total: 1,038,501) are female, and they spent 42.1% of all online hours. This means female avatars spent in average 40h online a month, and males only 17h.
If you dont want to use software to view them, use the Google Docs online version.

First they came...
Lindenlabs, the creator of Secondlife is in a difficult situation. They want to allow humans to act out those fantasies which are hard or impossible to act out in real. That is all what the second life is all about. This is why you can fly, but this is also the reason why you can be a samurai, a ponygirl, a hooker, Gangster or Business Man.
However the problem is, that SL is for mature audience only, but that audience has different tastes. One is offended by the fantasy of another. And since SL has not yet a more fine grained labling system than PG and M, this causes problems.
Especially when you have a role play which is perfectly valid in real life (nobody can harm two adults playing teacher and schoolgirl) but which looks very illegal cause it is displayed so "real" on the 3d screen.
Anyway lately LL was annoucing that they have a hard time and might need to enforce their policies against "broadlyoffensive" content some more.
I just want to point to two pages where you can read up and contribute against that kind of upcoming censorship.

Destroy Television
I have read an interesting Article on SLNN.com about the Art Project Destroy Television.
Sadly the project is already finished, but you can see the created artifacts. I don't like the label "Art Project" for all kind of media experiments, but seeing a virtual Avatar watch itself on a Real Life screen is something truly funny.

Update
Have notbeen very active lately. Neighter on this Blog nor in Second Life. Sorry to my friends for beeing online so seldom. I had to take a break - somehow SL was getting on my nerves.
But I will be online more often, so look out for me and say hi :)

Advertising in SL
I was a bit wandering around in SL to see, what kind of advertisement for in-world events is used. In a German speaking region I run across some signs.One particular interesting sign was an advertisement for first life jobs at Festo one of the top industry and process automation companies (from Germany). They really know where to find their future staff...
They have also a blog for job trainees, which also blog about that second life action.

My First Linden
Happy St. Patricks Day everybody.
I have been with a friend listening to a Space Rock live performance in Serenity Woods. After that there has been a Paddy Day event (find the treasure of the Leprechaun). And guess what happened:
SAW MY FIRST LINDEN!!!

Sorting Inventory
In SL it is hard to keep track of your inventory. Sure you can drag everything around with you, without worrying about size and weight, but it is just so easy to lose track.
A major annoyance from time to time is the change clothes, especially if you are a stripper :) So I want to share with you three tips:
a) you can type "worn" in the inventory to filter the Inventory for wearables and attachments you have currently on.
b) you can click on folders to add or replace your current outfit. It is usually best to add a folder with a new dress and afterwards go to the old folder and take off all items from that. That way you can change quickly and never stand there nude.
c) have folders for each outfit, use the copy function to make a good collection. Move unneeded and seldomly used stuff you want to keep around to archive folders. Move all new folders you get after shopping or collecting freebies into sub-folders so the overall folder structure in the inventory is not too flat and fat.
Hope that helps.

Conferences
A little known Feature in Second Life are conferences. So you can talk to more then one person by IM at the same time. You don't need to set up a group chat for this, or use the spatial chat. This is especially good if a group of girls go shopping.
You simply select multiple friends (it only works for friends and only in the friends list, not the IM list). You can select multiple by pressing the Ctrl-key, like you are used from other windows programs.
Once you have selected more than one person, you can teleport or IM them.

State of the Nation
So how are things going you ask? Well I still have a lot of fun doing stripping, teasing boys and hanging around. My Workplace St. Pauli has moved to a much bigger venue. It still has that retro flair and a cool spinning stage with a Motorcycle. However the room is bigger, so it does not remind so much of an shady red-light bar.
Things have been a bit slow money wise, since I have been less often working and most often at the wrong times.
Update: my (former) Boss kicked me out of his establishment, because he thinks I was working as an escort for another club. Well I actually will - its more kink friendly and the lady-boss has a crunch on me - however that place is not yet open. Well he could have at least talked to me, pretty bad style. But I can understand that he needs to enforce his house rules with all the other freelancing girls around.
