About (short version)

Welcome to my weblog, which I use for keeping track of interesting stuff. It serves as my basecamp for the exploration of the Internet, the "Blogosphere" and life in general.

Second Life to Blog communication gadget

Just registered at SLprofiles.com, a Second Life community site (currently 3300 profiles/members) where you can do a lot of stuff especially in terms of sending info from SL to RL.

I was actually looking for some kind of widget or script to place on my weblog to provide visitors an indication on whether I am online in Second Life or not (enabling a SL meet-up). Well I found one (not sure if there are others as well).

Here it is:

The widget tracks:

  • online/offline status
  • my Second Life activity in minutes (today; last 7 days; total)

I wonder how this all works, as I thought there was no API for Second Life. I have emailed the builder, so let’s see what he wants to share.

I have put the widget also on my new Second Life section (see top menu bar). The coming weeks I will be putting more stuff in that section.
