Jay Salton sent me a message via Facebook to tell me about his vlog (video blog), called VR Worlds. He said:
I also have a Sansar blog, I’ve been building a collection of videos, mostly tutorials to help people get started.
So go check it out!

Last Friday’s In-World Product Meetups
Inara Pey has written up a very detailed summary of last Friday’s in-world product meetups. I was unable to attend these meetings so I’m glad that Inara posted this!
Atlas Hopping with Drax and Berry, Episode 4
Once again a merry band of avatars gathered at 114 Harvest at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time/Sansar Time to embark on another Atlas Hopping adventure hosted by Draxtor Despres and Strawberry Singh. The three experiences we visited were:
- Studio Club – Karaoke & Hang-Out, by Sin
- Sancrafter, by JackTheRipper
- The dungeon levels in the Garden of Dreams, by Kayle Matzerath
Here’s Drax’s live stream of the event:
(Note: Drax is wrong, it’s actually Episode 4.)
And here’s Strawberry’s live stream:
Sansar for MS-DOS!
In the 114 Harvest user group on Facebook, Second Life artist FreeWee Ling has posted a very funny picture: the secret version of Sansar for MS-DOS! (This is a tongue-in-cheek response to a recent post by an irate Mac user who demanded to know why there was as yet no Sansar client for the Mac. As I have already explained, asking Linden Lab to provide native Mac support for virtual reality gear that currently only exists in a Windows hardware configuration is absurd.)
FreeWee says:
For an extra thrill you can use an amber monitor instead of the green phosphor. Print your screens to a dot-matrix printer on fan-fold paper and mail them to your friends. Or if you’re really connected, send ASCII text by batch email over your 512 baud modem (assuming you’ve programmed your Procomm connection strings correctly) to your neighbor’s BBS and have it delivered overnight when the long distance phone rates are lower. Or talk about it on usenet forum rec.games.computer.sansar…. The future was now!
This is bringing back memories of my very first personal computer, a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model III with a whopping 16 kilobytes of RAM (that’s kilobytes, not megabytes), a 300-baud acoustic coupler modem, and a Radio Shack cassette player for data storage!
