Lively – 3D Avatars and Rooms
http://www.lively.com/html/landing.html
So far I’m disappointed with lively, but hopefully that will change.
I see that Google had to pull the adult content that appeared and one of the best ‘rooms’ on Lively, that wasn’t created in advance of the launch, was made by Pathfinder Linden, an employee of Linden Lab the creators of Second Life. However, on the positive side Lively is only 4 days old and still in Beta, so it should get better.
Watch this space for updates.

Difference engine in Second Life
On this day in 1822, Charles Babbage proposed the use of a difference engine in a paper to the Royal Astronomical Society, some 186 years later and a replica of one of Babbage’s machines can be found in the Virtual World mod Second Life:

Second Life Difference Engine created by Independent State of Caledon resident Paul Churchill
Update 2024: Although ‘The Independent State of Caledon’ is still active and very much alive inside Second Life the Caledon Highlands sim is no more and I was unable to track down the difference engine in world.

Note how this satirical version is so much like the original which I scanned…
Many thanks though to Mrs Trellis, of North Wales, who pointed out this obvious blunder … the date (1974) is 3 years after decimalisation, so the price tag of 2/6 is fake – shame.
…and here is the original.

“For those of you not up to speed on space toilets, the ASU failed on 21 May following a “loud noise” – apparently the failure of the air/water separator pump. Despite the ISS crew’s best attempts at DIY, they were obliged to request an emergency plumbing space-lift to tackle the problem.”
Well I never, good excuse for a nice pic though…
