22C3: Art and Beauty center


A lot more intersting stuff was going on today (the talk on Dylan, p2p algos, polemic endtime scenarios, amongst others). Now hanging around and chilling in the Art and Beauty center...






One of the cool things about Second Life is that players can create new kinds of objects, by writing small programs in a special scripting language to describe how the objects should behave, and then launching objects into the world.weapons of mass destruction launched in a virtual world by people spending their time in a virtual home consisting mostly of swastikas and giant floating penises. is the web finally coming of age?
Things got really out of hand when the W-Hats created a doomsday device. It looked like a harmless little orb, but it was programmed to make copies of itself, repeatedly. The single object split into two. Then each of those split, and there were four. Then eight, and sixteen, and so on to infinity.


The new M221E-box got installed and is running.
It's an AMD Athlon-64 1.8Ghz CPU, 2x80GB HD (Raid 1), with 1GB Ram that sports FreeBSD 6.0.
Im currently busy setting up and configuring all required tools etc.
Many thanks to Gassi from Netzwirt.ch for the very generous housing opportunity.
