Openlife dumps Second Life viewer support
I haven’t logged into Openlife for a few weeks, so I was unaware that support for the standard Second Life viewer has ceased. The proprietary viewer is now standard fare.

Migration to Openlife: one story
Aussie Second Life resident, Shai Khalifa, has posted an interesting piece on our discussion forums.

Openlife is the first fourth alternative Second Life grid to open up for widespread access.
It’s still a work in progress but one that’s well worth exploring, something I’ll be doing in coming days and weeks.
Openlife’s creator, Sakai Openlife, is based in Australia and we’ve made contact with him for an interview – stay tuned for [...]
