I de...Karazhan looks lovely; your photos gorgeous. I definitely plan to visit. Just a philosophical, general observation: the ongoing football mentality for discussing various topics is an interesting (best I can put it) phenomenon. I'm not sure when it happened that the practice of "fighting to the death" in order to be the "VICTOR" on topics or personalizing/villifying different viewpoints became the foundation for "dialogue." Or even disagreement. The grace of agreeing to disagree is a really beautiful, powerful thing. And I realize, not at all easy to do. But if there need to be a "fight," perhaps that's one practice worth fighting to keep alive and active. From personal observations over the past 4-1/2 years inworld, the vast majority of the inworld community embraces a live and let live mindset...which has always been perhaps one of the most powerful aspects of SL and virtual worlds. Apologies for my lengthy reply! Thanks, as always, for highlighting all the very many wonderful things in SL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103252777208388055.post-2184040786153775332011-06-15T08:04:18.525-07:002011-06-15T08:04:18.525-07:00Hi Honour,

Well I realize that sooner or later I'm gonna have to give up the old ways if I want to participate in moving forward with technology in sl. I've no issue with what viewer is used and adjust accordingly. Great shots, can't wait to see your exhibit and I hope one of my images flashes by while i'm looking.

But by now, it really is a preference.<br /><br />I use Imprudence mainly because it had many of the features of Emerald, it allowed me to use a tattoo layer, and my tv works in that viewer (compared to the old SL viewer). Plus I find it faster than the popular Phoenix viewer(on my computer, anyway). I also use Kirsten's Viewer when I want to take nice photos. But the interface gives me a headache after a while, so I know interfaces like that (i.e. V2)would not be for me for every day use. <br /><br />The Shared Media feature in v2 sounds great, as well as the other features that come with every new release. And I think it's terrific that we have a variety of viewers to choose from to suit our varied purposes in SL. I guess some people feel the need to put down others, no matter, shape, size, or viewer that they use.Monica Querriennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103252777208388055.post-7356998755243157832011-06-13T05:27:01.783-07:002011-06-13T05:27:01.783-07:00@iliveisl LOL thanks :)@iliveisl LOL thanks :)Honour McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828949525849701192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103252777208388055.post-67472568550861357892011-06-12T21:17:22.216-07:002011-06-12T21:17:22.216-07:00well, if you are not using the HaxViewer3000, you ...well, if you are not using the HaxViewer3000, you clearly suck =p<br /><br />if you want to see my boobs bounce then use the appropriate viewer (they still won't bounce though)<br /><br />viewer choice is pretty much that eh? a choice =)<br /><br />nicely written and excellent photos!iliveislhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412300946166700450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103252777208388055.post-66016253542754243342011-06-12T16:46:36.728-07:002011-06-12T16:46:36.728-07:00@Miso - thank you :)@Miso - thank you :)Honour McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828949525849701192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103252777208388055.post-58657500545380600442011-06-12T16:29:35.070-07:002011-06-12T16:29:35.070-07:00Most of my harsh comments on V2 were made after ex...Most of my harsh comments on V2 were made after experimenting with the earlier versions of it. I do understand there has been great improvement. <br /><br />I thought the whole thing about the net and web was CHOICE. I use 3 different viewers for different reasons and different worlds. Some perform on my machine better. Some I like separated by world/viewer. I use vanilla SL 1.2.5 in SL a lot, but have used other viewers also.<br /><br />I've stayed away from ranting on V2 because to be fair, I don't use it enough now to comment on it. I am sure soon I will be using it though.<br /><br />BTW, nice EXPRESSION, not a rant :) and ty for even considering server ecology; it is one area I feel is inherent in the medium, as canvas size, weave and treatment are in painting. It is part of the environment and should be considered in as thoughtful a way as you have :)Miso Susanowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628657533849686313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103252777208388055.post-5232112422708165832011-06-12T15:39:09.317-07:002011-06-12T15:39:09.317-07:00@Aquarius - thank you for your comment. :) I thin...@Aquarius - thank you for your comment. :) I think choice is good but all choices deserve the same level of respect.

Sometime afterwards it was returned to me because I was wearing the wrong group tag when I rezzed the platform. Why does this still happen to me regularly? Because although it's over a year since I used Emerald, I got used to an Emerald feature that prevented this from happening.<br /><br />This is just one of many examples of how TPVs, designed by users for users gave users the functions that were important and necessary.<br /><br />Why did I stop using Emerald? Partly as I became dismayed at the change of focus away from usability towards encryption and monitoring of other avatars. Partly because I started using Viewer 2 on the day that the beta was released, and found many features that right away were time savers for me, even if some of the time savers I was used to were absent. Favorites bar, outfits that work with no-copy items, chiclet IM icons were functional changes that I liked. I also like the overall black look, and the pruning of the menus.<br /><br />What I've noticed about the V2 haters is it's gone beyond rationality. "Hate" has no meaning to engineers. Many times people when I asked people why they claimed to "hate" V2 it came down to they didn't like the black, it crashed their system or it wasn't Phoenix. Beyond that, it seems that "I hate V2" is a way of seeking approval from strangers. The one thing people who "hate" V2 have in common is an utter refusal to believe that <i>anyone at all</i> likes or uses V2.<br /><br />The whole situation a fascinating study in how not to do user adoption.Aquarius Paravanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103252777208388055.post-84438128942887739122011-06-12T14:51:46.762-07:002011-06-12T14:51:46.762-07:00@Indigo & @Lavender Thank you both! :)@Indigo & @Lavender Thank you both! :)Honour McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828949525849701192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103252777208388055.post-1990097625255275592011-06-12T14:46:30.748-07:002011-06-12T14:46:30.748-07:00I use Viewer 2...and love it!!!
