playing with freebies

oh... so... i might have forgotten to introduce myself. i'm arrogant cyberstar, a second life avatar. there's not too much to say about me. i live in california, i work in software and i think second life is pretty cool. well... the things you can do with it are cool, SL itself probably needs a bit of polish. i spend my time in SL wandering around mostly. but i like to chat about software and about adding bits of functionality to the SL viewer; that's why i've been playing around with the snowglobe viewer.

most of this blog is about software experiments, but from time to time i just wander around and look around, trying to get ideas for cool things. if you're new to SL, you'll probably want to grab some freebies. there are several freebie spots in world, but the one that seems to be high on the search list is the freebie warehouse in Burns. i was able to load up on several knick-knacks... clothes... animations... etc.

as a homeless deadbeat, i don't have a place to go to rez my new freebies. fortunately, there are "sandboxes" that cater to people like me. the IBM sandbox is one such place. so.. even if you're a n00b homeless drifter like myself, you an still play around.

script to download and build snowglobe on MacOS X

so i started monkeying with things i shouldn't have monkeyed with, and very quickly decided i should probably just re-check-out the snowglobe source and start afresh. but i got a little crafty and wrote a quick script to automate this process for me. if it's useful for you, great! if not, don't blame me.

the script is available up on the second life wiki at https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Arrogant_Cyberstar/Compiling_Snowglobe_on_MacOSX
